Customer Review :
It Works! But the design? : Cobra XRS 9960G Voice Alert 15-Band Radar/Laser Detector with 1.5-Inch Full-Color Display, GPS Locator, and Red Light/Speed Features
I purchased this unit for my wife, who needed an upgrade.
There are already some very thorough reviews on this, so I'll just cover the salient points.
First, there is some criticism of the GPS unit sticking out the side of the unit. It does look a bit punchy, but there is a reason for this design. Cobra had come out with an integrated GPS design, but they were sued by Escort, who has a patent on the integrated rd/GPS design. Cobra got around the patent by their new design.
I think that most rd's have sufficient sensitivity, so the issue for me is falsing. My wife's old rd falsed on everything, so it became almost useless as one learned to ignore it. Not a good thing if this time it's really a wolf out there.
I have the gold standard in rd's (after the Escort 9500)- the Bel rx65, so I'll compare to that.
The Bel consistently falses in 2 places in the town next to me. The Cobra did likewise, as well as a few random other places, presumably from other rd's (a huge mis-feature of the old model).
It falsed on an X band door opener is Worcester. The Bel never does.
It seemed to have about the same detection range as the Bel when I encountered real radar.
Conclusion is that the Cobra will irritate a bit more that the Bel, but not bad.
I think that the LCD screen is a bit of overkill, but for any setup tasks, it's superior. I prefer the simpler LED setup for in-use.
The overall design is a bit bizarre, and the unit is quite large.
The mounting suction cup bracket is a joke - flimsy, and the rd is just supported by the bracket's strength. Consequently, it bounces up down as you drive along. There is an alternate Velcro patch provided and we will go to that, once the other problem is solved...
The freaking power cord is too short! As mounted on the windshield, the power cord is pulled tight across the radio and heater controls (Ford Fusion). I figure that the accountant that did most of the design work decided that they could save 13.7 cents per unit if they shortened the cord.
For the GPS, you download a small program from the Internet, so that you can plug the GPS into your PC (not a Mac), and periodcally update the database. After installing the program, you plug the GPS in for an update, and Windows detects new hardware. It now wants a driver. The instructions never mention this part, but after 2 tries, I figured it out. When you install the program, you are putting the driver on the PC.
Other than the few design gaffs that I mentioned, it's not a bad rd.
I would not recommend this model. If you don't care about the GPS feature, there are better options out there.
This unit cost $208 from Amazon. The Bel rx65 can be found for as low as $263 at the time of this writing. For the extra ~$60, you can get a better unit. Remember, one avoided ticket will probably pay for the purchase.
In this case, my wife was OK with this model. I would have sent it back.
For a comprehensive review, you can search out Radar Roy on the web. He has several reviews on you-tube, including this rd. He does give a thumbs-up on the rd.
Addendum, 1/26/2010
Although my wife is the primary user, I have driven her car quite a bit in the last few months.
I have to admit a change of heart with this device. I now recommend it.
I like the auto-off/on feature, where it detects when the car is off, and shuts the detector down after 15 minutes. It then starts up automatically when the car is started. Totally hands off. All Fords keep the cigarette lighter live with the key off, so this eliminates the hassle of turning on and off.
It detects emergency vehicles that send out an alarm frequency.
The GPS feature is not a big deal where we live, but it does know, and warn, about naughty intersections. There are only a few in our area.
It falses maybe a bit more than the bel RX65, but then again, it doesn't false on the low morning sun on laser.
I like the lcd screen versus the typical led display. It allows for a very flexible display of information. I have found that after it self-mutes, a quick glance at the screen gives a very good status update.
In short, I've come to like this detector a lot and recommend it.
