Just bought a radar detector, cobra XRS 9530, i havent opened it yet because it was like $150 at best buy when I can get it for like $100 anywhere online. Anyone used any of the cobra series or this particular one, I cant find any reviews on it.

 

I've got an XRS 9975 ($210 at radioshack, got it at ebay for 110) and the thing works great!

 

These things work if they are not using Laser based guns..and if you are not the only one on the road.

Most of the time if you are riding on an otherwise non busy road..these things will light up just in time to tell you you're about to get a ticket.

 

Mostly true, but I did have one save me when I was the only one on the road. The cop just pulled the trigger when he thought I was in range but I wasn’t my detector went off, I slowed down, he shot again an I wasn’t speeding. So don’t rely on them but they can save you every now and again.
Mine worked great, but I don’t use it any more because I never speed... [sm=innoc.gif]

 

take it back save your money, get a rx65 or valentine 1.. check out www.radarroy.com

 

they say valentine 1 or escorts passpot 8500 are the best but there are still really good radar detectors out there for less than 400 bucks... cobra makes some great high end stuff... its the low end (less than 100 dollar) crap you waste your money on

 

yeah but do they guarantee you if you get ticketed they will pay for the ticket! valentine 1 the best!

 

I need to get one for the bike....it saved me enough times in the car....

 

i had a cobra and it went off randomly all the time for no reason.

 

I have a cheap $40 one from wal-mart that has saved me a couple times but didnt go off the one time I needed it and got a ticket[:@]
