width210 height160 div I am reviewing this radar detector here
simply because I have nowhere else to express my displeasure.br br
This Cobra radar detector is the original P.O.S budget radar
detector that no one should waste money on. It doesnt detect police
radar but bleeps and blares with continuous false alarms. It has
features that range from counter intuitive to down right worthless.
br br The smart mute feature should be renamed to autistic mute
because it is completely silent when it needs to alert the driver,
and makes all sorts of stupid noise when it is least needed. The
radar detector picked up the officers radar as I approached, but
then decided to smart mute the alarm as I got even closer and then
sped by the cop.br br As I sat and waited for the officer to write
up my ticket, it frantically beeped FIVE! FIVE! FIVE! F you cobra!
It still didnt make any sounds!br br On the contrary, it seems to
detect everything innocuous like retail store alarms, garage door
openers, communications towers and manhole covers. The other day, I
was driving in the city and it started beeping. The alarm escalated
from 1 to 2 to .... I slowed down to see what might be ahead and it
turned out to be someones grandma sitting on her porch and picking
her nose. br br I am NEVER buying another cobra product. To date, I
have 3 speeding tickets while driving with this stupid detector,
and 0 tickets while driving without and using my own common
sense.keywordsws radar detectorkeywordbabstemplateswsradardetector,
