The Drive Smarter® app allows drivers to share and receive alerts in real time. This gives drivers ultimate protection when combined with the RAD 480i radar detector.
Bluetooth connectivity may vary depending on your device. Compatibility with all systems is not assured.
Radar detectors are illegal only in Virginia, Washington DC, and most parts of Canada. They are also illegal in all 50 states for commercial drivers, such as truck drivers and taxi drivers.
If you are not a commercial driver, and you are not in Virginia or Washington DC or Canada, then it is perfectly legal to use a radar detector.
In flat, open conditions the range is at least 2 miles. Please note that road conditions (hills and curves) can affect the range.

"It works, that’s for sure. I don’t even like anyone manhandling it. I’ve had mine for about 6 months now and I tell you that it has saved me time and again. Troopers, Sheriff’s, local cops, picked them all up and with time to spare. Thank you Cobra!! A cool snake decal for my black Benz would’ve made the package even better. Buy one, you won’t regret it."
"I love this product. Such an improvement from the one I had previously."
"If you are looking to buy a product from this company… Don’t I have been waiting three weeks for delivery and recieved a notification that they were unable to deliver the product 1700 miles away. I called their customer service and got the runaround, and a Cs person with an attitude: “ we shopped it, it's out of our control”"
"Great radar Easy to use"
"i've had this for about a year now and it still looks brand new, the app is a game changer for the radar detector as well, the live ka band alerts help you prepare for the mean men in blue up ahead, although i will say two things, the filtering is a little rocky at times, i live in a county were x and k band are still commonly used. x band will throw a false alert every two miles and is basically unusable, although have seen real alerts on x band i have to keep it off, k band is exceptionally does a better job at this, i will still get false alerts here and there but way better than x band, and ka band i see more real than fake alerts, very good filtering for ka and k band, cant say the same for x. again you get what you paid for. overall very good purchase for the price"
"I just put it in my truck over the week end got to figure out how to set it up no instructions came with it in the box"
"I just used it on a 4 hrs drive and toooo many false alert."
"It is a great! Radar laser. I would recommend it to everybody. It works great! Thank you for your product"
"Constant false alerts on Ka band while driving. Very irritating. Not worth the money"
"Just what I wanted"
