Cobra Vedetta Ultimate Detection Systems Series, SLR 500 Radar/Laser Detector Review

I was trying different radar detectors in my country and no one could detect the Multaradar CD that operate in K Band here... so I saw that Cobra was releasing the new Vedetta Series with supercharged detection, so again I give a shot like my last hope and again unfortunately this is another detector that could not detect the Multadar CD.

Pros:

- This detector looks really nice, better than any another one that I tried before including the Escort 9500.

- Is a lot smaller than I thought, that was my concern after seen the pictures, but the detector is nice built and really small.

- The screen is nice you can change the colors scheme, for colored or mono color to match your car dash, I really liked that function in my case I use Blue Scheme.

- This detector is really smart on false alarms, when you are just moving slow the detector doesn't emit any sound just screen alerts, that is really handy when you are on the city.

- The design, the looks and the material used in the construction is really higher than the ones used on other detectors that I did try before.

Cons:

- In my case can't detect the Multaradar CD K Band.

- The support is ugly like the Garmin ones, I didn't liked, so I used velcro on my dash to mount (Velcro Included).

- The cord is not coiled, is just the regular cord, so you have to use something to wrap what is left, is too long for my taste.

- Very poor information online about this device, the box came with just a really small mini manual, they should put online the tech info about this device.

To resume my experience I felt really bad when I just stopped my car and put the detector face to face with the Multaradar CD and it not even beep!! the cops just gave me the smile and said to me 'How your 300 bucks detector could beat our 50.000.00 machine?" actually he was really nice to let me try my detector so close!!! and no, don't even beep!! this, the suction cup and the poor information available online about this device is the reason that I give 3 stars...

If you have any doubt about this detector, fell free to ask me before you purchase!

UPDATE 08/21/2012

I just received an e-mail from Cobra and they confirmed that they radars can't detect radars operating at K band 24.100 Ghz, however on the radar documents they did send me, that clearly says that the SLR 650G can detect on K band between 24.000 Ghz and 24.250 Ghz. So 24.100 Ghz is inside the range. That is the reason I removed 1 star more.

Cobra claims to detect any threat, any band more than any another one, but unfortunately that is not true so Buyer be aware if you pretend to use this detector to detect low powered K band radars.
