Cobra decided not to add 360-degrees of protection on this model because it wanted to focus 100% of the energy on the frontal cone area where most of the traffic stops matter and it does a great job of catching those. Q: Does this model offer 360-degrees of protection?Ī: No, it doesn’t but it offers a very wide range of frontal coverage which is the most important part.

You can mute the system with the touch of a button which is great for when you’re driving along and don’t want any kind of excess noise from the radar scanner coming out.The anti-falling circuit installed in Cobra 0180003-1 IRAD Radar Detector is one of a kind and reduces nearly 100% of the erroneous reports that come with a lot of other radar scanners done by Cobra, this one is simply one of the best when it comes to making sure you don’t get false reports.This radar detects the most types of other radars that we’ve seen so far, including laser radars, VG-2 signals and other types of law enforcement signals. This will give you a far broader range of what can be detected including police red light cameras, speed traps, where live police are and even more. This app isn’t just a standalone app, it can connect to your smartphone which will download updates and sync up with other nearby devices to help you find all the police radars, not just the ones that it’s built to detect. This thing can operate completely by voice, instead of giving you visual prompts like a lot of other radar detectors on the market, so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and unlike other radars, it doesn’t produce an unsightly non-stop beeping noise to indicate that you’re getting close to a speed trap. You’ll get pretty much no audible feedback if you turn on mute mode. It’s great for if you have passengers in the car and you don’t want to annoy them with the constant prompts and it’s great if you’re on the phone trying to have a conversation. If you’re tired of listening to the thing talk or you want to the mute the audio for other reasons, it can go into mute mode. This is great for people who live in high-value neighborhoods where everyone has a home security system. It’s not uncommon to get a false positive from say a garage door or someone’s home security system but instead of that, this radar detector is equipped with a fail-proof circuit that greatly reduces that. One of the biggest problems with a lot of other radar detectors is false positives. Instead, this detector uses voice prompts to alert you of when you should slow down. It doesn’t have much to visually look at, which is a good thing because too many radar detectors on the market are designed to give you visual information which takes your eyes off the road.
#COBRA IRAD AUTO ZONE PLUS#
It’s smaller than some of the other radar scanners we’ve seen so that’s a plus on the design end.

Operating at 34.70 GHz, the overall design for this scanner is relatively small and it fits in any kind of dashboard setting, no matter where you mount it. There’s a lot of functionality built into this radar detector and it has a pretty top-quality scanner so is it worth the purchase and does it work as promised? Unlike your old traditional radar scanners, this one uses built-in technology to detect more than just policing radars to help you catch speed traps, it even taps into your mobile network to help detect traps from over a mile away. The Cobra 0180003-1 is an advanced and modified IRAD Cobra radar that has a lot of superiority and improvement over its predecessors.
