  • Cobra to launch new Vedetta series of Radar Detectors in 2012

    Cobra unveiled a new series of radar detectors during the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show, held January 10-13, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Called The Cobra Vedetta™ Series, the new system promises up to a 30 percent increase in radar and laser detection over Cobra's current models, claiming a new benchmark for both range and reaction time.

    In addition to a touted increase in performance, Cobra claimed improvements to both form factor and ergonomics to increase driver comfort, safety and convenience. The new Vedetta features a 2.4-inch TFT color LCD display mounted on a multi-axis hinge with a ball-socket type suction cup mounting bracket for 270 degrees vertical and 60 degrees horizontal rotation. Traditionally, radar detectors need to be mounted in a central zone on the windshield for optimal performance and detection of radar and laser signals. However, the Vedetta allows you to mount the detector almost anywhere on the windshield or dash of your vehicle and still be effective, according to Cobra.

    The Cobra Vedetta also offers an integrated GPS receiver and free, lifetime access to its AURA™ national database of known speed/red-light cameras and speed traps. Other features of the Vendetta radar detectors include backlit touch-sensor controls, IntelliMute™ speed-sensitive muting system, Voice Alert, SmartPower (auto shut off when vehicle ignition is turned off), Signal Strength Meter, 8-Point GPS Compass (available on SLR 600 and SLR 650G), User-selectable Speed Alert, storage for up to 1,000 User-marked locations and IntelliShield™ quad-level False Signal Rejection System.

    Cobra calls the Vedetta™ Series "The New Standard in Radar/Laser Detection" and said the new series will be available in the US sometime in the second quarter of 2012. Whether it actually sets such a new standard or not remains to be seen, but when it does arrive we will perform our own benchmarks and post the results right here, on our blog. The suggested retail price is expected to range from $199.95 to $299.95.

  • Beltronics fans rejoice - The New STi Magnum is here!

    STi-MAGNUM-1-l.jpgIf you liked the original Beltronics STi Driver, you'll love this. Beltronics recently released a new, updated version of their beloved, top-of-the-line classic and dubbed it The STi Magnum!

    The new STi Magnum offers a full set of features to deliver great performance. A dual low noise amplifier (LNA) microwave receiver provides the longest warning possible on all police radar bands. The Magnum's Multiple Threat Display alerts you to multiple radar signals their relative signal strength. AutoScan eliminates the need to manually shift between city and highway modes. The STi Magnum also features Traffic Sensor Rejection (TSR) software to prevent false alerts.

    The STi Magnum can also integrate with the Cincinnati Microwave ZR4 Laser Defense System for added performance. In fact, the Beltronics STi Magnum offers a whopping 60% performance improvement over its predecessor, according to Beltronics.

    But the features don't stop there. Like the STi Driver, the STi Magnum's greatest asset is its complete undetectability. Its magnesium alloy shell prevents signal "leak", preventing detection by radar detector detectors such as the VG2, Spectre, or Stalcar MK 3. Police using such devices will not pick up the signal trace of the radar detector inside your vehicle. This makes the STi Magnum truly undetectable!

    If you are a serious driver searching for a high performance, feature rich, undetectable radar detector, look no further than the Beltronics STi Magnum.

  • The Escort 8500 X50 gets a makeover

    Escort recently updated their popular, high end 8500 X50 radar detector and re-issued it as the 8500 X50 Black.

    While not radically different from its predecessor cosmetically, The 8500 X50 Black does sport a few subtle changes to its outer shell, giving it a slightly sleeker look. And, of course, the formerly silver bodied unit is now black, as its model name implies. However, that's not what sets it apart from the orginal 8500. It's what is under the hood that has improved.

    The original Escort Passport 8500 X50 is noted as one of the best high performance radar detectors on the market with great range, reliable detection and quick response time to traffic enforcement radar. In addition to the standard features of this model, the new version 8500 X50 Black now has up to 50% greater range than the original Passport 8500 on K and Ka bands. Its "V-Tuned" radar receiver provides a maximum range of detection on all conventional and "instant-on" police radar, including POP mode and X-Band. The PASSPORT 8500 X50 also includes Escort's Traffic Sensor Rejection software to eliminate false alerts.

    The X50 Black also features Escort's own ExpertMeter™ multiple threat display to detect 8 different radar threats simultaneously. It also has an AutoSensitivity™ mode, which adjusts sensitivity levels automatically according to your driving conditions. This radar detector can integrate with the Cincinnati Microwave ZR4 Laser Defense System.

    As with the original, the Escort 8500 X50 Black is available in either a blue or red display with three display modes: standard bar graph mode, ExpertMeter™ mode and SpecDisplay™ mode.

    The 8500 X50 has been around awhile, but it's not getting older, it's getting better. Escort's recent performance makeover of the X50 merely secured it's reputation as a manufacturer of high end, top of the line radar detectors available on the market today.

    But the giving doesn't stop there. After all, it's the season for giving, so we're giving something more.

    The INTELLICORD® is a 12v DC power cord with a programmable button on the base that allows you to assign your choice of any two of the following features: Power On/Off, City Modes, Dim/Dark, and Quiet/Auto Quiet. A short press of the button activates the first feature; a long press activates the second! The Whistler INTELLICORD® is compatible with the three Whistler radar detectors listed above.

    The Whistler Socket Multiplier and the Whistler INTELLICORD® Power Cord combined are valued at $30. This makes these Whistler radar detectors a great gift to show you really care!

  • The new version of the Valentine One has a new feature!

    Valentine One just released a new software update for their detectors and units with the latest version are now shipping!

    The Valentine One radar detector now includes version 3.892. This new version includes a new feature called Traffic Monitor Filter. This feature eliminates false alerts caused by frequent K-band radar bursts from Speedinfo, a system used to monitor traffic flow on US highways.

    Traffic Monitor Filter is turned off by default on new V1 units out of the box, but can be manually activated by the user. Activation instructions are available from Valentine One at http://www.valentineone.com/Lab/techreport3.asp.

    There is one caveat: When Traffic Monitor Filter is enabled, K-band POP radar detection is turned off. (it does not affect Ka-band POP protection). Valentine One recommends that you only activate Traffic Monitor Filter if Speedinfo is active in your area, otherwise you should leave it disabled.
