  • its not better than escort 9500ix

  • SLOW DOWN THE COP HIDES BEHIND THIS SIGN

  • 27 people are cops

  • This review has so much misinformation I had to cut it off halfway. You really have no clue. This must be paid advertising.

  • used by lame, speeding, accident-causing assholes around the globe.

  • @spyreytos LOL you sure about that? Cause statistics show a very small percentage of people who use radar detectors get in accidents.....

  • This is possibly the worst radar out there. I had one. Sucked ass, go spend your money on a Whistler, Beltronics and if you have more cash, the V1

  • Can I get this device? I live in Saudi Arabia and costums will take it. and may call me for punishment..

    thanks for review.

  • i Subscribe , good man , with good technology , god bless

  • does it detect shit or roads?

  • can i put this above my rear veiw mirror were there is a 5% tint strip that can hide it from out siders, well it still work?

  • I didn Get What he means from 2:30 To 2:40, is he sayin that the radar reflects the radar to the one in front of you???? What if you are the onlyone???

  • @HackerMTY6 no, it is detecting that split second radar when the cop is pointing at another car and not at you so you know that there is a cop with instant-on.

  • BELTRONICS FTW .. COBRA EQUAL SHIT

  • Lol, you're speeding...speeding...lalala *pop* police turn their LIDAR on for the first time on YOU. Yep

  • Can you play PSP games in it?

  • @shani21shani

    Was that really a dumb question or it was just for fun

    curious to know

  • Why dont I just drive within the limit and f*ck you!

  • This guy has to be the most retarded person in the world. Seriously, this review is so flawed that I almost want to rip my eyes out after watching this.

  • no ,not a day rapist

  • what about if you use the gps to pick up cameras and u live in canada.Do u update canada too.

  • why didnt he bother to show a demo of this thing in action!

  • "hey how you doin' check it out.. you gotta radar trap comin' up.."

  • Yep, just like the Escort 9500ix does everything as this unit and better. When he says it is the only unit out there with those features, he is lying. There are others out there that have the same features.

  • cool ...can anybody tell me where i can find one in KSA......

  • Radar detector detector - "Nailed it", (claps in background) . EPIC!

  • Kinda like selling an invisible gun that noone can see you shoot with.

  • cobras suck im not gonna lie no joke i know someone who has one

  • i was always a whistler fan but i like my cheap cobra i got from walmart

  • Comment removed

  • Cobra radar detectors FAIL. PERIOD. I know you have to sell a product but this is pure crap. Do yourself a favor and get a whistler, escort or a valentine 1

  • fyi. there are only 3 radar bands you idiot (X,K,Ka). POP radar is a very short burst (.067 of a second) of either K or Ka radar. and it does not have arrows the only detector that has arrows is the Valentine One. Cobras are shit. They make any other radar detector false becasue it leaks like a motherfucker. if you want a GOOD radar detector, go buy a Valentine One or an Escort Passport 9500ix

  • is this legal?

  • @MoMo11791 uhh no

  • This is perfect to place on ferrari and lamborghini. poor ass people don't need this.

  • @Vietboy1st well if u were driving a ferrari or lambo u would care about a $400 ticket . one of the reason ppl buy these is to save money on tickets / insurance because if u get a ticket u get a point ...dumbass!!!!

  • @Tweedle1n2 Are you retard ? If you don't drive over the limit or can't drive over the limit what is the point? Unless your car can fly in the traffic.

  • ca@Vietboy1st well we dont all drive a geo metro . most cars can go over the posted speed limit !!! you dont need a super car to go fast . retard !!! most ppl speed !! no shit u dont need one if you dont speed.

  • @Tweedle1n2 yeah i guess ya from cali or texas. If you come to Boston , Mass you will see how tiny the highway. Max is 4 lanes or 3 sometime 2 lands highway. Imagine that..

  • @Vietboy1st dude we only have one lanes here hahah

  • @Tweedle1n2 depends on country dumbass.......trust me in russia and gungary u don't get points

  • "that is a one point FIVE inch O L E D screen. i dunno what that means but this right here is a piece of shit. please buy this and get pulled over"

  • I have the Cobra XRS-9970G Radar Detector , its touchscreen

  • they had this on sale for $75 at my auto parts but i didn't have the money to get it -_-

  • ricer

  • around 200 $

  • It detects radar detector detectors so if it detects a radar detector detector it will turn the radar detector off so that the radar detector detector cannot detect the radar detector. THIS DETECTOR IS BEAST.

  • can i put this on my kawasaki ???

  • @AcidSerum Yes, people have these on bikes but with custom setups. look it up lol

  • dude how much for the Cobra XRS 9960G $...???

  • @chazaki2 About $250

  • will the gps and all other features work in other counties

  • so funny 3:08 and he said yes""""""""""

  • only state radar detectors are illegal in is Connecticut i think its one of those eastern states lol

  • @lccs187 It's Virginia. Radar detectors are legal in CT.

  • Comment removed

  • Is this legal in europe?

  • i can only speak for germany : NO it's not. it's illegal

  • ahaha ok cheers mate! =) im currently living in France and the police do you just for accelerating! =S So it would be nice to get my hands on something that picks them up before I blip down and floor it! XD

  • @RobertHamilton85 does it matter?

  • keep beaking the law its all good

    4:28

    nice

  • These are Allowed In California

  • I never said they weren't. i'm just repeating what he said if you listen at 4:28 you'll see why it's funny

  • sorry i get it now :)

  • Allowed in California, but illegal on all military installations. I got my privilege to drive on base suspended for a month for having one.

  • When i was coming back from Portland on Highway 5. They had a sign that was telling me my speed with a X band this was the first time i've seen a X band

  • "speeder racer ricer" lol

  • @joenlaw hahaha laughed my ass off

  • I wish they would come with much longer straight cords. My car cigarette lighter is in compartment between front seats and it does not reaches or if I pull the cord hard it would be very ugly .

  • COBRA is awesome dont know about this model but it has saved my ASH alot of time s

  • Cobra is crap and no they arnt expensive. I wouldnt go 2 mph over the speed limit with a cobra. I use a escort passport and love it. By the way, laser jammers dont work.

  • what would work best in canada toronto

  • It Depends on what radar is ran in Canada. For example, are they running any KU bands or do they run the same KA, K bands. But the 2 brands I trust in is escort passport( 8500 x50 or better) and the Valentine v1

  • do these actually work? and can you put one on your bike?

  • u could probly put one on ur bike if you have a battery or power source on your bike, lol, or find a battery powered one.

  • Yes but not the Windshield mount style. Sensor is wired to the front, LED screen is very small also wired. Even have Audio out now if you have a stereo.

  • Audio out to Bluetooth headset for bikes etc. etc. many options for Bikes now.

  • @apricotsnms516 yes they work i have an ESCORT 8500 X50 it detects them a mile away plenty of time to slow down, and it really works. I had a cobra also, they give you alot of false alarms

  • A three days ago, I bought the Escort Redline Radar Detector and I am sending it back tomorrow. It's not good at all; it was giving me false alarms most of the time and besides it was getting too hot. I now bought the Escort Passport 9500ix radar detector and I hope it can work for me. I am going crazy with those things.

  • whats the distance it reads a cop

  • are they illegal in California?

  • no,the olny places they are illegal in the U.S. is Virgina and washington D.C.

  • have the 9955 but only alert when Im in front of the police, something wrong?

  • so its need a update or somthing or just that is?

  • Is it leagal in canada

  • depends on what province you live in, in SK it is Legal

  • lol the best on the market? cobra does not perform well.

  • i got a radar detector in my 3g eclipse but the only problem is that the part you plug in has a short ass cord and the cigarette lighter socket is far away from the windsheild where the radar detector sucks onto. also i pull into a dam walmart parkin lot an the freakin thing screams at me tellin me to watch out for walmarts security cameras haha. alert alert watch out for the security cameras ment to catch shop lifters but ignore the undercover dodge cherger behind you

  • May I set my radar detector with all these alerts on, or I might know which one is not good to turn on.

  • I would like to know if a cop stop me for other reason than speed and he sees my radar detector, he will think that I am likely a law broken?

  • i dont know why cobra is talking about a doorstopper with gps because it is cheap and setts of other detectors if you want a decent detector go with beltronics gx65 with gps built in costs $470.00 with minimum false alert or the escort 8500x50 $330.00 in best buy

    think about it spent more money get something decent

  • Cheaper cobra and whistler models have poorly shielded oscillators that set off other detectors. I have tested my 9960G and my Whistler XTR-695 and confirmed that the 9960G does not set off other radar detectors, however the whistler caused my Cobra to false, probably due to its subpar filtering. Yes, the cheaper cobra platforms cause other detectors to false but not the XRS 9955/9960G. Please stop giving out misinformation.

  • it is not misinformation it is that the cobra xrs 9950 goes even of if there is no other radar in sight thats why cobra is a cheap door stop so get a decent radar it iis worth it even xtr 695 is garbage too

  • Whether a radar detector is a piece of crap is subjective. Very well known radar enthusiasts hold the 695 in the highest of regard. I've seen the Valentine One go off when there isn't a store or tower in sight. Does that mean it's a piece of crap though? The 695's filtering is great, the 9960G's filter for cheap radar detectors is very subpar and so is its ramp up, but if you bought it for around $199 it's a great detector for the price.

  • did you put in L mode

  • I'm not sure what mode my Dad has it in because it's his detector. I'll be sure to ask him when he gets home I'm not sure how much he has understood it. In any event, I'm driving with the Beltronics STI-R now and it's a great detector.

  • I also want you to google the guys of lidar 2009 if you have the time. It will give you to some insight of how the Whistlers and Cobras compare to the big boys. They are using an older Cobra model, but Cobra still needs to improve their filtering and ramp up. Their 35.5 ka band detection could use an increase too. Even so, it isn't a bad detector. The SE series scored second right under the V1 for the Quick Trigger testing which is becoming a larger threat, especially in Texas.

  • In the US, 30% of fatalities in car accidents are a result of speeding.

  • no there not, there a result of not paying attention to the road.

  • no texing while driving or putting makeup on or talking on the phone while driving

    especialt the blond womens

  • I bought 9band Radar/laser detector with extra sensory detections but it doesn't show the lights moving as they said on tv, do you know why?

  • yes cobra is cheap they say some thing so you buy it and then you check it an it doesnt have it

    i got 2 cobra radar detectoe they are now just laying in my drawer in my room pieces of crap i got the V1 and Bel GX65 more money but u get what you pay for

  • huge step up for cobra. but if its detection range is only 75% of an x50 than it sucks. as the x50 is a p.o.s. only time ive ever gotten a speeding ticket was when using an x50. get an ix or v1

  • where can i buy it? (not online)

  • does this radar have any auto shut off on it?

    because where i live they are illegal.

  • It does, but it isn't effective against the Spectre. IT does a good job of picking up radar, but it is not immune to all radar detector detectors. If you want a good detector that is immune opt for the Belltronics STI Driver, the Escort 9500ci or the new escort redline that is coming out. If you use this detector where it is illegail you WILL GET CAUGHT. For the record, i'm not a biased Cobra hater, I own the 9960G and I like it a lot. I also use a Whistler xtr-695 and switch between the two. :)

  • cobra sets of other regular detectord i was at a shopping center had my x50 on and in front of me a cobra radar in another car and i stoped the car my x50 went of what was in front or me ? a cobra radar detecor the door stop

  • cobra is garbarge

  • @Marianmichael which one is best?

  • @pkoicetr if u want a good radar detector u need to put some money down

    Valentinone is good or passport escort 9500 ix or Beltronics STI

    they are not under $300.00

  • @Marianmichael I have no complaints with mine man.

  • @Marianmichael Then what's good?

  • @Marianmichael so is your mom but i dont complain

  • if you want a radar thats invisible to police radar detector detectors

    buy Beltronics STI driver it is invisible to police radar detector detectors

  • does this radar have an auto shut off??

    because where i live radars are illegal.

  • 3:10 PRO.

  • thats what i like about the comments you can get alot good info.I am going to buy a radar detector for my motorcycle i just got my 2nd speeding ticket in less then a year i am going to check out the escort 9500 ix thanks for the post and comments

  • Good thing it has a GPU, now I can play video games while I speed....

  • Comment removed

  • well honestly not all of us have 400 to spend on a 9500ix or a v1 or a top of the line RD i dont care if the cobra gives you 100 false ka's a day.. as long as it at least alerts you from cops and shit oh.. and the screen is sexy

  • ever head of saving up money?

  • Do yourself a favor and buy an Escort 9500IX instead.

    Cobra is shit.

  • srrt but i think cobra is better because it disables radars and it has a nicer screen than escort 9500

  • There is no such thing as a radar scrambler (that works)

    And do you like that stupid GPS Wort it has on the side? That's because they got sued for copying the Escort's 9500i.

    Don't put down industry leading products because you bought a piece of trash.

  • dis guy talks a lot we wanna see u put it to da test in da streets

  • Cobra! Nothing comes close! Haha pos Get an ESCORT

  • Video is a complete waste of time.

    Any reputation as a good radar detector was eclipsed by BEL and Escort many years ago.

    The 400 dollar asking price is way out of line.

  • you get what you pay for

  • Woah woah... there is a big difference between going 10+ mph over the speed limit and using a radar detector ... as opposed to running red lights?!

  • if people run red light they asking to get killed and a ticked

  • No it's not the best

  • watching this video is waste of time....

  • and the only thing a cobra does is make my escort 9500i go off on pop every time someone drives by me with a cobra... pisses me off

  • Comment removed

  • Turn pop off u don't need it

  • hahahaha cobras are nothing! the only thing it will tell u is to get your check book out cause he got ya! cobra pos

  • Sorry but this guy talking knows nothing about radar detectors because he would not repeat the marketing lies from Cobra. The Cobra radar detector line are some of the worst performers on the market.

  • Cobra RDs are POS..Only good thing about it is Nice Color Display LCD......

  • Anybody that knows anything about Radar Detectors knows to avoid Cobra's.

  • Do people really run through red lights?? Who is stupid enough to do this?? I hope you get side swiped by a semi and become a quadriplegic!

  • no people dont run red light they walk through red light and wait to get hit by another car

  • cobra are leaking radar detector they leak to other cobra

  • Cobras are crap. They run in the same price range as Valentines or Escort but consistently perform the worst in independent tests (Guys of Lidar/etc). I upgraded from a Cobra to and Escort and never looked back. Go with a Escort or Valentine if you are considering a RD as expensive as the 9960G. Don't believe me? Google Guys of Lidar and research it yourself.

  • Does it run on propane?

  • tiger direct listened to me about videos using HD

  • I had XRS 9630 while I was in U.S. I bought it for $100 and it did detect speed cameras. I wasn't given any range as there was no screen but the Beep helped.

  • this thing illegal ??

  • Depends on the country and the states if you're in U.S. We do not need radar detectors in India haha!

  • NO, we want to look cool am make cool videos an show off an see how our cars preformance is

  • "radar detector detectors this thing, it detects a radar detector detector, it will turn the radar detector off, so the radar detector detector, can not detect the radar detector"

  • lol... laser detector cant detect the laser detector of the detector.. bla bla bla bla bal :D

  • damn its like 350...

  • You can by $40 worth radar detector or $1400 worth, you still need your damn eyes opened and looking waaaaaayyyy over there!!!!

  • The speed limit is there for a reason. Haven't you seen the advert where the little kid gets killed because the driver is doing just 5 mph more than he should be.

  • no i seen the one that a little girl gets hit becuase there were stoners in a drive through

  • I'm not sure what that has to do with this..? dont smoke weed and drive. This is to help you aviod being extorted for driveing 10-20miles and hour of the limit on the highway.

  • He just does more damage to the kid. If he didn't see the kid or do anything to avoid the kid, then he is just a bad driver (IMO)

  • lol

  • cok head

    "you have a machine that will protect you from both cameras, laser" theres no protection against a lidar gun with this RD, and even on the odd case it happens to pick up a small laser beam (very low) it will be too late.

    Do not buy a fukn cobra, especially if u live in Western Australia cause you piss me off all you faggots that use cobras.

  • i need 1 one of those

  • get a ral radar escort 8500x50 

    $330.00 bestbuy trust me you will like it cobra radar detector leak to other cobra radars trust me i had one i changed

  • legal in NY, cheaa i got me one
