Our take on the Cobra iRadar Detector

by Dominic Devito

Cobra's iRadar detector combines sophisticated radar/laser detection with the power of the iPhone and iPod touch. Download the free Cobra iRadar app from the Apple® App Store™ — the detector links to the app using your iPhone's or iPod touch's Bluetooth® wireless connectivity. Once connected, the app will let you view radar and laser alerts and functions on your iPhone or iPod touch display, including signal strength, settings adjustment, alert history, and warnings for upcoming speed and red-light cameras.

The iRadar detector also acts as a powerful road companion without the app — it offers 360-degree protection against all radar and laser bands and provides audio alerts as you drive. The audio signals will come in loud and clear through the iRadar's built-in speaker, and you'll hear escalating alerts as you approach the source of the signal. You can adjust the detector's sensitivity for city or highway travel to reduce false alarms.

The iRadar app gives you the choice of Dashboard or Map view to best suit your driving style. It also gives you a heads-up for known enforcement areas and dangerous intersections, even if you don't have the detector turned on. The app also stores a history of spots where you've had alerts, warning you as you approach them in Map View, so you can drive with confidence.

  • radar/laser detector for use with Cobra iRadar iPhone/iPod touch app
  • 12-volt USB power cord, windshield mount, and hook-and-loop fastener

    Cobra iRadar Detector

    Written By waipahukane, Waipahu, Hi on Thursday, July 07, 2011
     
    I'm having no problems with this IRadar. It hooked up as directed. If you touch the green eye in front of each item in the settings modes , it will give you all the information you need for that item. You really don't need a manual........... I'm only having a problem finding a "good" holder for my air vents to hold it !! I'm using it with my sony 5700 blue tooth radio. So while i'm driving, I'm listening to my I pod music, the IRadar screen is on & my cell phone is hooked up thru my bluetooth for hands free calling & answering !! A nice combination for me !!!!!!!!!!

    Save your money and get a real radar detector, you know the kind that doesn't need a PHONE to work. There are too many moving parts to this solution.

    I got one with hopes that this would be a great radar detector with the option to map out false alerts using the iPhone's GPS. Boy was I wrong. First of all the PLUG keeps popping out of the cigarette lighter, so your detector would go off line in silence and you'd never know it was off. Second, the bluetooth link between the phone and the detector is a joke. After the detector loses power (mainly because the silly plug keeps popping out of the cigarette socket) and you plug it back in, the phone never sees the detector again, until you restart the iRadar app on the phone. I don't know about you but I have better things to do while driving than babysit this detector. Returned it and am now getting the Cobra 9970G

    Cobra iRadar Detector

    Written By JC, Stafford, VA on Monday, April 25, 2011
     
    This unit is terrible. The first one I had would pair to the phone just fine, but it would never display the alerts on the phone. So it was pointless. Returned it and got another one. This one would display the alerts on the phone about 50% of the time. I give up, returned that one too. If it doesn't display alerts on the phone it is nothing more than a standalone radar detector with just audio alerts. Go to the website for this product and look at their forum, Everyone is having problems with this product. Great idea, poor implementation.

    Written By Alberto5, TX on Wednesday, April 06, 2011
     
    This is an innovative product and I would like to understand its full feature set. However, it comes with NO MANUAL!! That's right, no manual. Enclosed in the product package is a Quick Start Guide with nstructions on Bluetooth pairing with your iPhone. Period. There is no manual and one is not available on line, in PDF or any other form! I can't believe it!
    You can call Cobra's support number and they will tell you that they see no need for it. Never mind the myriad of options, map-related symbols, explanation of how their online alert/trap database works and any number of questions that you might have!
