iRadar opinions
 
Just wondering if any of you guys had this and how you like it?

Seems like a neat concept. My Escort crapped out on me finally after years of service and looking to get something new. I have a feeling this is just another crappy cobra product and ill end up with another Escort or a Beltronics since they are together now, but still just wondering what yall think about it.

Sub'd, was looking at this too :lol:

I read some reviews for the droid that were very mixed.... and im not in the mood to spend $150 being a test subject at the moment lol Hopefully someone will chime in :)

Could you customize bands and turn certain ones off? did it go off alot at like gas stations and such for false alarms? Is it any better than or equal to any of their other detectors?

Boostin15 01-06-2013 11:15 PM

i believe you could customize is, there was less false alarms, it was always detect radars when ever and i did like the speed and red light camera option

escort i9500x is the best on the market to me, i even have the laser re-director mounted up, going strong.

When I had my Escort 8500 X50 whenever I got an alert I always remember going, "where is that coming from!?" Now with the Valentine I actually know the direction the alert is coming from.

everything. its not as annoying as other detectors. i know when a cop is checking my speed,when im getting lazered and relativly how far the cop is.

my friends have had others and they are really annoying to me,idk what it is haha

and you can tell if the cop is ahead of you,behind or to the left or right.

ok, my radar isnt really annoying not alot of false alarms but i do find my necc hurting from lookin around for the cop, but it does hav a scale showing how strong the signal is to give u a form of distance to reference from,

I got one of the cheapo cobras. Used to have a v1. You can tell the difference between the two very well. And the arrows and other differences are very nice.

But honestly. I'm relatively happy with my cobra. It does the job decently and cost was great . Most the falses I know of by now and it usually will still pick a cop up from a good distance. Always had enough time with it.

I fail to see the need to drop $400 plus on a radar detector unless you are going 100mph everywhere all the time. One of the reasons I don't own a v1 anymore.

To the op. I have a buddy who used the iradar for awhile and it's not bad. Not legendary or anything, but it's fine for the average driver.

idk,i just am use to my V1. they all are relativley annoying lol my V1 cherps differently when its a lazer or radar. i have more false alarms though,but i know that from the sound so i dont look up at it.

i have my V1 hardwired,its suction cupped in the upper right corner of the wind sheild.

You'll get better 'reception' if it's in the middle of the windshield. I believe the pillar and such blocks the radar some which gives a chance at slower detection.

Radar busters did an article on it sometime ago.
