Excellent July 24, 2010
aaanouel
I'm not an expert about radar detectors and according to review in specialized websites it seem that the Cobra 9960G (9955 plus GPS) is a very good enough radar detector. It works well in that sense for me.

GREATEST FEATURE:
But what I really LOVE of it, is the GPS with which you can set places (up to a thousand) where you usually find enforcement radars.

Typically when you go on one direction and fix a place where you watch an officer with a radar gun, and you're coming back... it will alert you when you get close and depending of your speed it will alert you with advance enough to take adecuated previsions.

Very good purchase indee...!!!

My Review July 19, 2010
Edward F. Lang Jr. (Union, NJ)
Garmin has always been my vendor of choice when it comes to radar detectors. I have used other high end brands in the past with less than satisfactory results. The fact that this model contained the GPS/camera detector was a great plus.

Great, but a little hard to set up. June 23, 2010
C. Ernest Knowles (Raleigh, NC USA)
One long term problem is that GPS cannot be updated from a MAC. Will have to find a friend with PC to update.

I stumbled a little on the set up - booklet not as clear as it could be. Specifically, after setting what I thought I wanted, I could get the GPS to respond to camera alerts with clear voice and tone, but not x or K band radars (only ones I encountered to date). I looked again at the booklet and decided that maybe the Intellimute setting was muting the sounds. I had turned it on, but had not yet established an rpm setting. So I turned it off and now detector works like a charm!!!!!!!

I also like the GPS compass, which allows direction without sacrificing features.

Very Good Product May 21, 2010

This Radar dectector is well worth the money. It display's both visual and audio alerts when coming to traffic signals, lets me know if there is a camera and if active by displaying Red if active and non active if green. Just this morning alerted me of Laser radar being used, signal got stronger I was coming up to and passing a cop with radar gun. also alerted me of my speed which kept me from getting a ticket.

Great Detector for the Price! May 7, 2010

Overall I really like this detector for my intended purpose. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds, leaving a tiny dot that blinks to let you know it is on. If an alert is sounded, the screen activates, a nice feature. As opposed to some reviews I have read, the programming is simple, I did mine without even reading the manual.

Register the product on Cobra's website, download a little software and the GPS instantly updates. A word of advise, make certain you enter the serial number of the GPS fob and not the detector (as I did) or it won't recognize it. This issue is easily corrected, I simply registered again using the correct device number.

I did notice this detector gives false POP readings when that feature is enabled, not sure how prevalent this annoyance is among other detectors since my S2 does not have POP. On the plus side, I did see a cop about 50% of the time when the POP alert was activated; coincidence? I'm not certain but further testing will certainly shed some light on it's performance in that arena.

Other false alerts are about the same as my Escort S2 although it does seem to be less competent at filtering out other detectors when they pass by. We do have departments in this state that still use X and in fact it easily picked one up when I came across a mountie parked on a side street.

The range is a bit less than my Escort S2 but not to the extent that it would affect me, I am not a habitual speeder. I purchased this unit primarily for the camera database. It is worth the money for that alone, in my opinion. These speed and stoplight cameras are simply an effort to further pick our pockets. This unit has detected around curves and over hills with plenty of advance warning.

The ramp-up of the unit is slow. Most alerts don't go to full scale until the radar is in sight so you need to train yourself that when the unit initially alarms, check your speed and take appropriate action. As I mentioned, I am not a habitual or intentional speeder, so I don't need to drop 30 MPH in 100 feet to avoid a ticket. My concern is the radar traps that sit just inside a 30 MPH zone for example, the first sign is obscured by something such as vegetation, a curve or hill. I drive through mountains and quite often find this sort of thing. The Cobra has done a fine job sniffing them out and allowed plenty of time to react.

It programs easily and the support from Cobra has been great so far. I e-mailed them several times for information and once for assistance and they got right back to me. The updates for the database are a snap as well.

Downside would be the supplied short power cord and the windshield mount. All of these little suction cup mounts are cheesy, even the one that came with my Escort. You may as well plan on purchasing a good dashboard/windshield suction cup when you order the detector.

I was using the smart power feature until I noticed that it shut the detector off while on an interstate and after conversing with tech support at Cobra they determined it is the ECU in the vehicle that allows voltage to fluctuate lower than the older style regulator. Prior to that, they swapped out another new unit for me to be certain that mine was OK. Although a bit disappointing because I do like the way it works, the service and technical support from Cobra has been second to none. I believe the issue can easily be corrected if Cobra ties the Smart Power feature to the engine RPMs as they have done with the Intellimute setting rather than relying upon battery voltage. Now I just leave the unit on all the time.

I have not had a chance to test the red light feature but it seems there is plenty out on the net to read relative to the database, mostly positive. The emergency vehicle warning has gone off a couple of times as has the dangerous area warning. Two more really useful features IMHO! The sound level of the alerts is easily adjustable with the volume control, so there is no need to be concerned about that.

So, in summation, if you need a detector that works quite well, has the camera database, is reasonably priced and comes with fantastic customer service support, this Cobra model may be the best choice.
