11/23/2023 0 Comments Cobra iradar irad 200 review![]() ![]() The third function of the iRadar app is the Settings menu. In these screenshots, we see the iRadar app's main status screen and one of the warnings provided by the Aura database. When the iRadar detects radar in the area, here is also where users will be alerted to the band sensed and the signal strength and given the ability to mark the location as a real or false threat-useful for marking those annoying "Your current speed" signs or automated doors in shopping center parking lots. Here users can also switch between the iRadar's city and highway modes and quickly mark locations of speed traps or safety cameras. Available as a free download in the iTunes App Store, the app features a virtual dashboard that monitors your GPS position, vehicle speed, and direction of travel. The iRadar app is what separates the Cobra iRadar from the rest of Cobra's product lineup and indeed the rest of the radar/laser detector market. Currently, the iRadar only works with the iPhone or iPod Touch, but Android compatibility is around the corner in early 2011. ![]() Once successfully paired, the red LED indicator turns blue and an audible chime sounds. You can initiate pairing with the iRadar from an iOS device's Bluetooth menu. However, the "i" at the beginning of iRadar is an indicator that this radar/laser detector is meant to work with Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch. Good idea, weak execution and badly in need of upgrades.The Cobra iRadar app gives tremendous flexibility over how and what the iRadar detector reports. Connects to my i480 fine, though will not auto adjust sensitivity for speed and there should be controls for the detector built into CobraiRadar such as mute. About the only thing that works well is that it has the locations of the ubiquitous speed cameras in NYC. Does not measure speed or speed limit accurately - kept getting over speed limit alerts on the highway when traveling below my speed threshold - system thinks the speed limit suddenly jumps to 35 on a 65 mph interstate - had to turn off that feature, too. Also does not base community alerts on the road you are traveling on, so you get lots of alerts from adjacent or crossing roads, including on the highway where this is distracting and dangerous - had to turn off red light canera alerts for this reason. There are no instructions to indicate how the buttons to mark items work. They use an old low resolution format so when an alert comes up you can barely see the map. No routing function so you have to switch between Google Maps and iRadar.
