@Stallion Related but different purposes. I love Waze (so far Google hasn't mucked it up since buying it) but Waze won't help if you're the only Wazer on the road or if the Waze reports are old. If this gadet works, it gives you local, real time feedback.
@Stallion Waze is of questionable usefulness anyway due to all the problems with the app, but I have to assume there are fewer users of the iRadar than there are Wazers roaming about, so Waze is likely to be more comprehensive with alerting you to speed traps and so on.
@binaryhermit69 that was my first thought as well, i expected them to be prohibited in more places. seems most places just prohibit on commercial vehicles. i haven't seen any in any cars of my friends in ages. http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/radar-detectors/
@axleman1011 I love Waze as well, but you're saying the radar detection features of this gadget do not work? Does seem doubtful, even for the "normal" price.
@axleman1011 Waze police warnings are useless. 1/2 mile out at best, usually more like 1/4 mile. So you're already tagged by the time waze decided to let you know about it.
@Cinoclav Lol, yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Only two places they're illegal for personal vehickles.
@communist I grew up in NY using one of these junkie cobra detectors. The detector was a problem, but not with police, more that it goes off every time you pass a construction zone. Which as you know...in NY...lol
I've now grown up* and try not to drive like a doof here in WA.
@communist there is a FCC act (read federal, so above states) that permits you to receive transmitted radio signals. The radio detector is simply a radio receiver. That being said, local state can say they are illegal, but technically you could fight it in court.
@Thumperchick In this case, I think you download an app and it networks with other people with the detector. "By connecting with the iRadar Community, you are joining millions of other iRadar users who are actively reporting law enforcement areas."
@cengland0 they sell a pretty large number of detectors but i'm just curious how many participate in the iradar program with these particular few models - unless! you can participate in the program with any cobra detector. A quick search doesn't turn up any stats except from their own website. In any case, it still sounds like a neat concept to me.
@Thumperchick reading about this on amazon it would appear it has to be connected to a smart phone to change any setting - for example city to highway. Without the smart phone connected it will beep or whatever when it detects something but you have almost no other functionality.
These are definitely illegal in Virginia. I'm actually surprised you're selling any to Virginians because I thought it was also illegal to sell/ship them here.
@patti definitely not Crohn zone and certain people (@hart) keep telling us we can't call it that because of that...but I think he's just jealous he doesn't sit with us anymore. It's definitely Crone as in Cronut.
As a resident of the colony of the District of Columbia, I probably cannot even read this product description. But just you wait! Come the revolution...
I just don't want to monopolize my phone to do what a standalone device could do just fine. Meh I guess. Maybe if there are any left in the morning I might change my mind, but I doubt it.
@ruouttaurmind It needs access to the internet to know ahead of time where the cameras and hidden cop cars are. A standalone device would need it's own internet service costing you additional monthly fees.
@ruouttaurmind what i am reading from cnet reviews (other models) says it should work with or without a paired device. the app just gets you the community shared info for better advanced info.
@meh and the phone is how you control the thing too - switching from city to highway, etc. All the controls are via the phone app. At least according to what I read elsewhere.
Just wondering, the box and some of those price compare sites say "For Android" whilst the above description says "Syncs with iOS or Android"... are we sure?
Tempting experiment for 28 bucks... and then there's that "Device Locator Tag" thingy as a consolation prize. Hmmm...
Do radar detectors really work? anyone have consistent luck with them? I live in the city but I do a lot of interstate driving which is where my trouble seems to be. I've never used one but after my last ticket I'm thinking I might try one out. After my last one (82 in a 55) I shouldn't get another.
@Kleineleh Thanks mom, but that's not what I asked. I'll clarify. Does a radar detector usually alert one in time to adjust speed? I'm not looking to obey the law, just avoid getting caught disobeying it.
@RedHot Sometimes. Really it depends on a lot of factors. It will reduce your odds of getting caught, but not every time. There isn't really a fool-proof way to avoid getting caught.
@RedHot Yes, they do work. In the 90’s I never went anywhere without one and it probably saved me a lot of tickets. Of course there are different grades of quality in detectors. I found the cheap ones not worth the money, they tended to beep at every little thing. The top of the line Cobras had/have a way to tune them so they pretty much only pick up real radar guns. Even when I wasn’t high tailing it down an interstate, it was like a game to see how many cops it would spot. I discovered a really good one would also set off the cheap ones in other peoples cars. Once had a guy try to pass my truck 3 times and each time he drew abreast I could see his detector light up and he’d drop back. I’d really like another but I already drive like the little old lady from Pasadena and I don’t need any more encouragement to hotrod around.
@Teripie Really good ones should not set off other detectors. Radar detectors that "leak" are how cops detect your detector with their radar detector detector. Some ofthe top end detectors have radar detector detector detectors... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_detector_detector
@RedHot They are a tool, not a cure. You have to use them intelligently. As @unixrab said, if you're the point man... the first in a line of traffic you may get a warning from the device, but it won't be in time to slow down. But if you use it wisely, it can help avoid a meet n greet with officer friendly..
@RedHot To sum it up, everyone above is correct. Depending on where you live and what radar/laser is used, it will vary. Overall, the better the detector is the more likely you'll pick up the cop scanning people ahead of you. If you're the only one out there on a road you're screwed if they have the newer "instant-on" radar. I'd say only about 25% of cops even have the new kind, but there is no 100% fix. I will say cobra isn't a top brand. Look at Valentine, Bel or Escort for the best radar detectors around.
@Lurcher99 Paying the ticket then would be considered a business expense? EDIT - just google mapped that. 55 just off the highway past a ton of business - like you can even get to 55 there unless it is 3 in the morning?
No need for a detector here. I tend to stay off of the freeway since the 2010 incident and the hubs drives like an old woman....wait, that's me...hmm...I need to rethink this....
@lisaviolet I got a ticket several years ago on a side street where the speed dropped from 35 to 25 but the sign is missing. I got out of it in court because of no sign but there are a ton of in town speed traps around here. Those of us who live on my old side street could be on a first name basis with the speed cops if we wanted to as they hung at the end of our street to catch the speeders going down the main road. They are there probably 4 days a week. You can get tickets for going too far under the speed limit too...
OK, I see a lot of questions and some bad info up there, as well as some holier-than-thour advice... 1. Yes, radar detectors work. I've been saved a number of tickets with this very detector. More on that later. 2. Radar detectors are legal for personal use in all states excepting Virginia, Washington D.C. and U.S. military bases. Commercial use is a different subject on a number of points. 3. Radar detectors are not just for speeders. If you always drive the speed limit, good for you. Here's a virtual cookie.
I reserve the right to know when I'm been measured. I don't normally speed, but my definition of speeding isn't "driving faster than the posted limit". My definition is exceeding the general speed of the traffic or driving in an unsafe manner. There are numerous places where I live that in general the traffic flow is 10 to 15 over the limit on a consistent basis, and if you don't keep up you have a steady stream of cars passing you. Some of which are driven by people texting and putting on makeup. At the same time... 4. Laser detection is tricky. It's typically a tight beam, and if a cop has you on laser they he pretty much has you. Laser is more useful on interstates where cops pick and choose cars to measure. The best thing for laser is a laser jammer which unlike radar jammers, actually works well and is mostly legal. Illegal in Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. The iRadar unit is not a laser jammer. 5. The iRadar unit. It's basically a decent detector, but it produces a lot of false positives. The application works fairly well, and it warns you of stationary installations such as redlight cams, and photo radar. On the iPhone it runs in the background so you can play music, etc. (I assume it works the same on Android, I wouldn't know) This model is discontinued, the current model is the 230. For $28 this seems like a fairly good deal.
Those thinking that inexpensive detector is a deal that should not be passed up might consider doing a bit of research before buying. Google Escort Redline, Valentine 1, Passport, MAX, MAX2 and 9500ix to learn about windshield mounted radar detectors that are worthwhile to be used in addition to common sense to help avoid tickets. There are forums dedicated to radar detectors and research is free, impulse buying can be costly.
@RedHot It's more than that. The big thing with radar detectors is false positives. Low and even the majority of "mid" range radar detectors will go off so often as to not be useful. It's not a matter of a better product, it's a matter of a useful product. Agree with @flylow YMMV.
The just don't speed excuse is lame. I've gotten pulled over doing 55 in a 55 when the sheriff tagged another sheriff doing 85. Only reason I got out of it was the Geo Tracker we had couldn't do 85, I told him that the other sheriff went by, he told me to get the F out of here before he finds an excuse. I was polite, I think he was embarrassed. My point is they can pull you over for anything. I have used cheap ones in the past and know where the false positives are. If anything it goes off, I check my speed. Not always consciously speeding but downhill or kids are screaming you may lose track for a minute. In New York it's points on your license, a couple hundred in fee, surcharges and you insurance goes up. NY will bury you with 1 ticket. I'm in, cheap peace of mind.
@lcastil1 A few of the orders are being shipped today. Even though we worked through the holidays, carriers don't, so some of our orders are being picked up today.
I got the 2 I irdered today. Got one up and running. So far I notice the false positives when I am near another car with a radar detector. I don't like the fact that it has to be plugged into power all the time. I thought this had a built in battery. I have never owned a radar detector and just assumed they had a built in battery. The map view on the phone is pretty cool because it shows the locations of cops others have reported.

@mediocrebot If this is just irad-150 plus a key locator, the deal is the only deal. check IRAD-150 comments.
@huntd Last bullet point is the only deal. I am going to bed now.
M m donuts. How does this compare to Waze????
@Stallion I love Waze. It's helped me avoid getting stuck in traffic several times, plus helped me dodge a few speed traps on my way to work.
@Stallion Related but different purposes. I love Waze (so far Google hasn't mucked it up since buying it) but Waze won't help if you're the only Wazer on the road or if the Waze reports are old. If this gadet works, it gives you local, real time feedback.
@Stallion Waze is of questionable usefulness anyway due to all the problems with the app, but I have to assume there are fewer users of the iRadar than there are Wazers roaming about, so Waze is likely to be more comprehensive with alerting you to speed traps and so on.
I believe this might possibly be illegal in Virginia, and possibly other places.
@binaryhermit69 Shut up
@binaryhermit69 that was my first thought as well, i expected them to be prohibited in more places. seems most places just prohibit on commercial vehicles. i haven't seen any in any cars of my friends in ages. http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/radar-detectors/
@binaryhermit69 I thought that too after I noticed Virginia has the most sales so far!
@binaryhermit69 well...it does say that right up there in the specs -- Probably illegal in Virginia and Washington DC
@JonT owning it in Virginia or DC is not illegal-- but using it is. Mine goes on the dash the moment I cross into Maryland.
@Sarahsda Actually owning it in VA is illegal. Most sites won't ship radar detectors to VA.
@vampje Most states find it hard to justify banning a device that makes drivers slow down more often.
@bretmkal Hahahahahaha!
DONUTS!!!
SOLD!
Anyone with smartphone get waze, I just saved you $28
@axleman1011 I love Waze as well, but you're saying the radar detection features of this gadget do not work? Does seem doubtful, even for the "normal" price.
@axleman1011 They seem to be focusing on the key fob. Don't forget about that.
@Brandizzle I had something similar from brookstone once, but the batteries died and then i lost both ends somehow.
@axleman1011 Waze police warnings are useless. 1/2 mile out at best, usually more like 1/4 mile. So you're already tagged by the time waze decided to let you know about it.
Before anyone starts...these are illegal almost nowhere. DC and Virginia don't like them.
@meh umm Citiation please, last i checked, in new york and many other states its legal but frowned upon
@communist please do your own research. Also big lol at frowned upon.
@communist http://drivinglaws.aaa.com/laws/radar-detectors/
@meh Yeah, they more than don't like them. They're downright...
@meh i should eloberate, some offercers will look for a reason to give you a ticket if they see a radar decector in plain sight
@Cinoclav Lol, yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Only two places they're illegal for personal vehickles.
@communist I grew up in NY using one of these junkie cobra detectors. The detector was a problem, but not with police, more that it goes off every time you pass a construction zone. Which as you know...in NY...lol
I've now grown up* and try not to drive like a doof here in WA.
*ish
@meh Maverick: "Yes ma'am, the data on the MiG is inaccurate."
@communist there is a FCC act (read federal, so above states) that permits you to receive transmitted radio signals. The radio detector is simply a radio receiver. That being said, local state can say they are illegal, but technically you could fight it in court.
@TehMaliron They can't make it illegal to receive as you say. They make it illegal to drive with it. Subtle, but significant.
@communist -
@meh What about the big signs on the highways in VA that say "radar detectors illegal"?
@daytonatrbo did you read what i posted or any of these comments? lol
@meh I commented prematurely.
@lisaviolet
@communist
i stayed up for this??
@communist i think you just learned the meh.com motto
Shame it's not 28 dollars of donuts.
Should we start counting how many Cobra products show up in the coming year?
Exceeding the speed limit... Also illegal.
@miko1 Thanks officer obvious.
Now if this could sync up with Waze, it would definitely be worth it.. a Waze+
@gorimama That would be a-waze-ing.
@belowi http://instantostrich.com/
iDon't get why so many products have the iThing, that are not iProducts. I also just use cruise control now, it's way cheaper than fighting tickets.
@Thumperchick In this case, I think you download an app and it networks with other people with the detector. "By connecting with the iRadar Community, you are joining millions of other iRadar users who are actively reporting law enforcement areas."
@cengland0 i wonder if they really have "millions of users"? neat concept, if it works. but i agree with the iDeadHorse statement.
@meh Plausible considering Cobra earned $111.2 million in sales in 2013 alone.
@cengland0 they sell a pretty large number of detectors but i'm just curious how many participate in the iradar program with these particular few models - unless! you can participate in the program with any cobra detector. A quick search doesn't turn up any stats except from their own website. In any case, it still sounds like a neat concept to me.
@Thumperchick reading about this on amazon it would appear it has to be connected to a smart phone to change any setting - for example city to highway. Without the smart phone connected it will beep or whatever when it detects something but you have almost no other functionality.
These are definitely illegal in Virginia. I'm actually surprised you're selling any to Virginians because I thought it was also illegal to sell/ship them here.
@PurplePawprints Using one is illegal, owning one is not.
would love to have some cronuts right now
@sp3ar the kougin amann is the winner at that bakery, the Cronus are greasy and tough.
@sp3ar this made me laugh out loud because cronuts have become a running joke in the area I sit in and it's now known as the Crone Zone.
@patti sounds like someone doesn't like a little bit of texture......
@JonT you certain they don't mean the Crohn zone? Also cronuts are totally overrated.
@patti definitely not Crohn zone and certain people (@hart) keep telling us we can't call it that because of that...but I think he's just jealous he doesn't sit with us anymore. It's definitely Crone as in Cronut.
@JonT The office is big enough that you have separate areas, and not just one big open floor area?
As a resident of the colony of the District of Columbia, I probably cannot even read this product description. But just you wait! Come the revolution...
I just don't want to monopolize my phone to do what a standalone device could do just fine. Meh I guess. Maybe if there are any left in the morning I might change my mind, but I doubt it.

@meh and the phone is how you control the thing too - switching from city to highway, etc. All the controls are via the phone app. At least according to what I read elsewhere.
@Kidsandliz fair enough! i am having a hard time finding specific info on this model. cobbling from reviews on the 100 and the 200
@meh Agreed. Reviews on THIS model are difficult to find. 7 reviews on Amazon... not NEARLY enough data to establish a trend.
Just wondering, the box and some of those price compare sites say "For Android" whilst the above description says "Syncs with iOS or Android"... are we sure?
Tempting experiment for 28 bucks... and then there's that "Device Locator Tag" thingy as a consolation prize. Hmmm...
@RedOak on amazon the 100 is iphone, 105 is android so likely that is correct that the 150 is both.
@Kidsandliz Then I'd expect the box to say so. Still wondering...
@RedOak The box says iPhone on the bottom right..
@Kihz thanks.
@RedOak Pics show the Green/White switch, will work with both.
I love purple.
In for two, his and hers. If only I could get hers in purple. :/
@armchair Gut a Barney doll and hide it there. Problem solved.
@RedOak surely @barney would have a problem with being gutted.
I love purple...
Nicely priced :) But meh.. I'll just drive within limits.. I'll save the bucks for another deal :D
@rsp316 Sometimes the legal speed is way too slow, ie. school zones!
i drive the legal speed limit dnw

Do radar detectors really work? anyone have consistent luck with them? I live in the city but I do a lot of interstate driving which is where my trouble seems to be. I've never used one but after my last ticket I'm thinking I might try one out. After my last one (82 in a 55) I shouldn't get another.
@RedHot No. A radar detector will not automatically slow your car down within the legal limit. You'll have to do that yourself
@Kleineleh Thanks mom, but that's not what I asked. I'll clarify. Does a radar detector usually alert one in time to adjust speed? I'm not looking to obey the law, just avoid getting caught disobeying it.
@RedHot Sometimes. Really it depends on a lot of factors. It will reduce your odds of getting caught, but not every time. There isn't really a fool-proof way to avoid getting caught.

Once had a guy try to pass my truck 3 times and each time he drew abreast I could see his detector light up and he’d drop back. I’d really like another but I already drive like the little old lady from Pasadena and I don’t need any more encouragement to hotrod around.
@Teripie Really good ones should not set off other detectors. Radar detectors that "leak" are how cops detect your detector with their radar detector detector. Some ofthe top end detectors have radar detector detector detectors... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_detector_detector
@Redhot They work. But sometimes if you're the first person over the hill and they're on the other side, you're gonna be ticketed.
@RedHot They are a tool, not a cure. You have to use them intelligently. As @unixrab said, if you're the point man... the first in a line of traffic you may get a warning from the device, but it won't be in time to slow down. But if you use it wisely, it can help avoid a meet n greet with officer friendly..

I will say cobra isn't a top brand. Look at Valentine, Bel or Escort for the best radar detectors around.
@RedHot You said, "I'm not looking to obey the law, just avoid getting caught disobeying it."...Kohlberg moral reasoning level 1...
I need a video with the Meh guys going through Addison on beltline at 55 mph with this thing to prove it works...
@Lurcher99 Paying the ticket then would be considered a business expense? EDIT - just google mapped that. 55 just off the highway past a ton of business - like you can even get to 55 there unless it is 3 in the morning?
@Lurcher99 Just le me know before they start filming so I can stay off the road. I'm about a block off Belt Line.
No need for a detector here. I tend to stay off of the freeway since the 2010 incident and the hubs drives like an old woman....wait, that's me...hmm...I need to rethink this....
@lisaviolet I got a ticket several years ago on a side street where the speed dropped from 35 to 25 but the sign is missing.

Haven't been able to find an adequate review of the 150, but the 100 isn't very impressive. I wouldn't even waste $$ on it. http://radartest.com/Cobra-iRAD-100-review.asp
Those thinking that inexpensive detector is a deal that should not be passed up might consider doing a bit of research before buying. Google Escort Redline, Valentine 1, Passport, MAX, MAX2 and 9500ix to learn about windshield mounted radar detectors that are worthwhile to be used in addition to common sense to help avoid tickets.

@flylow That, and $300 will get you a detector better than this.
@shabazz18 you mean I can spend 10X more and get a better product? whoda thunk?!
IMHO low end radar detectors are a waste of money. YMMV Enjoy your Cobra!!!
@RedHot It's more than that. The big thing with radar detectors is false positives. Low and even the majority of "mid" range radar detectors will go off so often as to not be useful. It's not a matter of a better product, it's a matter of a useful product. Agree with @flylow YMMV.
I just want cheap device locators! Preferably ones that you don't have to charge weekly...
The just don't speed excuse is lame. I've gotten pulled over doing 55 in a 55 when the sheriff tagged another sheriff doing 85. Only reason I got out of it was the Geo Tracker we had couldn't do 85, I told him that the other sheriff went by, he told me to get the F out of here before he finds an excuse.

No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I love purple.
@jrwofuga That's my boy!
I'm in for two and they both still show as label created. Any other suckers who got one see updated tracking info?
@lcastil1 A few of the orders are being shipped today. Even though we worked through the holidays, carriers don't, so some of our orders are being picked up today.
@hart thanks for the info!!!
I got the 2 I irdered today. Got one up and running. So far I notice the false positives when I am near another car with a radar detector. I don't like the fact that it has to be plugged into power all the time. I thought this had a built in battery. I have never owned a radar detector and just assumed they had a built in battery. The map view on the phone is pretty cool because it shows the locations of cops others have reported.
Is this compatible with apple iphone5 or 6??
@prettybluz it works on both as I have tested it.
Really great and works! So glad I did not spend $200-$300 for a radar detector!
