years of 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"

"Constant false alerts on Ka band while driving. Very irritating. Not worth the money"

Not bad!

"I originally purchased, a 480I ended up, returning it very painless other than it cost me 20 bucks. A lot of the newer cars, 2025 accessory outlets do not provide the voltage required. I kept getting low voltage then it would shut down. Also, it has a cigarette adapter. My car does not have a cigarette lighter. Which requires you to have additional expenses at the same time I bought mine. They came out where they 490 Eye that appears to be more functional with the newer cars. I’m no longer getting a low voltage warning. There’s much better Radar detectors out there for the sport enthusiast but for everyday driving I think you will be very satisfied. My only request would be if you’re coming out with a new model or upgraded model of the previous version at least give us a choice of which one we want, especially with the newer vehicles the 480I was definitely out of date."

Extremely Disappointing

"I bought my 480i about a month ago from walmart while shopping for radar detectors, after seeing all the good reviews about this one. If i wasn’t just out of my 30 days i would 100% return it. After suspecting that it was missing alerts i decided to invest in a Uniden R8 and found that it was in fact missing most alerts for cops that were directly infront of me and my Uniden radar was signaling strongly to. I also ran into an issue with mine where it would get stuck on a false Ka alert showing full signal strength and not stop until i unplugged it in order to reset it. Overall i had higher expectations and not a single one was met."
