    That windshield mount is meant to be “bendable” so you can get the unit to mount level with the road ahead yours is pointing towards the sky

    RAD 350 was 60 dollars open box at Walmart and that was 3 years ago. Never gotten a ticket since then. It's saved my ass a lot as I live in a big state of Texas.

    I have had the Cobra 480I for almost a year now and I am very pleased with it.

    I have had this radar detector for aa few years now.  I am not a big user of the app services, but I do use some of the other functions regularly.  I really like the Quiet Drive function, and leaving my sensitivity on High.  This has allowed me to always have maximum protection, but it is necessary to become familiar with the different radar bands and how they are used.  The Quiet Drive function alerts twice, with an individualized tone for each radar band, and then goes silent.  The strength of the signal will continue to be displayed until the threat has left the area.  This has proven very useful when my wife and kids are in the car, as they don't complain about the beeping, especially around store entrances.  I occasionally use the medium sensitivity setting in heavy traffic on the interstate, because it cuts out a lot of the collision detection radar from other vehicles which can create false alerts.

    The video was very knowable, taught me some stuff i did not know, the Radar comes with a quick hook guide, but no details on functions, this video was helpful and gave me clarity. .

    It’s nice to have the speed limit but when you have an alert it disappears when you need it to match your speed… so if you don’t keep an eye on it.

    Just ordered my 480i. I used to have a 380 back in the day and it actually saved me a handful of times from some speeding tickets

    Great video.Very simple  yet informative! I watched a few & like yours the best. After too much research I bought the 380, basically for when I'm running  late for work, otherwise I drive like an old lady. Going to go hook it up after I finish watching your video:) Thanx
