The first detection system to combine radar

Cobra iRadar is the first detection system to combine radar, laser, and speed and red light camera detection innovation with the power of iPhone® and Android? smartphones.  It consists of the sleek dash-mounted Cobra iRadar detector unit combined with the free Cobra iRadar app.  Cobra iRadar pairs the detector with the smartphone using Bluetooth® wireless innovation, and at the same time empowers users to view radar alerts, control settings, log alert history and be alerted to upcoming speed and red-light cameras.  Should the contingency arise, the phone's data connection and Cobra's cloud-based services makes it possible to create a social network of iRadar users who can share live radar and laser locations, speed trap areas, and photo enforcement cameras in real time.  

Cobra iRadar for iPhone and Cobra iRadar for Android are currently available at traditional and online retailers nationwide for $129.95.  The Cobra iRadar app for iPhone is available at no charge via the Apple App Store, and the Cobra iRadar app for Android is available free of charge to Android users via the Android Market.  To locate a retailer or learn more, visit www.cobrairadar.com.
