XRS-9970G

If you want a radar/laser detector with a built-in camera warning system, take a look at this video overview of the Cobra XRS 9970G. This and other Cobra radar detectors are available to ship from our warehouse at Buy Radar Detectors. Presented by Danny Feemster.

We've had several customers who purchased a Cobra XRS-9970G radar detector call or write us, a little confused once they received their order. The problem? They thought that they were shipped a Cobra XRS-9965 by mistake. The confusion is due to the way Cobra is labeling the products. The Cobra XRS-9970G radar detector is packaged in a nice box that is clearly labeled "XRS-9970G", but the radar detector itself is actually an XRS-9965. The only difference between a Cobra 9965 and a Cobra 9970G is that the 9970G also includes a GPS attachment. This GPS plugs into the side of the detector and enables quite a bit of additional functionality, such as alerts for red light and speed cameras.

To recap, don't be alarmed when you open your XRS-9970G box and find an XRS-9965. This is certainly confusing, but is normal. You're paying the additional $90 or so for the included GPS accessory and the functionality that it provides. If you don't need the GPS functions and just want a detector with a nice touch screen display, save some money and just purchase the Cobra XRS-9965 instead.
