1 Fantastic value 4 your money!
3rd Cobra product in Auto Radar Detection
Easy to set up and download updates
Great LIFETIME UPDATES Service by Cobra owned company
Ez to hide on dash and while you park your car
Easy to program every function
Caught every camera and “Danger” zone so far in 10 days of driving, 1200 miles.
I drive 50-60k miles a year
I raced cars in 8 states
I drag race, drift & AutoX as well as street race

I’m a good landlord and rich, but I want to feel like a “child” daily.
I’m a Litigation paralegal with 114 court cases of experience.
I got 2 moving violations this year and am at 1 point on my drivers license.
This has slowed me down and made me stop at yellows vs. “zoom through”.
GREAT BEHAVIOR CONTROL INSTRUMENT FOR AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS!!!
Rating: 5 / 5
I attached one of these to my bicycle with a 12 volt battery, and now when im doing graffiti, I always get a sweet warning if a cop is coming! Wicked.
Rating: 5 / 5
Over the years, I’ve owned several “radar detector” units. One was an old “Maxon” brand the other a Uniden RDXL. Times have changed and so has the sophistication of radar. Now there is pulse, laser and a slew of other technologies. This moderately priced unit attempts to cover all the bases and does so with a mixed degree of success.
I’ve been using the Cobra XRS 9960G for several weeks and have installed it in two different vehicles. I don’t deliberately speed to test the effectiveness of radar detectors but can say that this unit did notify me of radar, mostly X-band, ahead of the time that I saw the police vehicle. Sometimes I got quite a bit of warning, other times I saw the police vehicle at the same time the detector warned me of the presence of radar.
I got what I would consider a normal amount of “false” alarms. Well, they aren’t really false alarms, they are alarms caused by Door Openers on grocery stores and things like that. I remember my old detectors going off all the time, so I don’t know if that means this detector is more discriminating in some way, or just less sensitive. Hard to say without having sophisticated equipment to test the device in a controlled way.
Compared to say a Valentine detector, it is not nearly as capable. For instance, the Valentine will actually indicate in what direction the signal is coming from. This is incredibly helpful information and this device does not give you that much sophistication. It either goes off or it doesn’t.
The menu system was adequate but not excellent. I did like the voice alerts and I also really liked how the volume of the alert was high at first, but quickly ramps down to a much lower volume automatically. Nice feature.
The display brightness was disappointing in daylight conditions. At night it is fine, but in daylight is gets washed out rather easily and is difficult to see. I preferred to keep the display “on” all the time but there is the option to have to turn off after a selectable period of time. It would come on automatically after that when an alert sounds. I felt that the icons used in the display to represent certain functions looked like second-rate clip-art.
The GPS “add-on” unit is goofy. I understand that because of a lawsuit by a competitor that had a patent on an internal GPS combined with a radar detector, that Cobra had no choice but to have the GPS component be external to the actual radar unit. But this is really ridiculous because the unit is quite big and bulky by itself, and then to have an additional appendage sticking out of the side is just about too much. It does work pretty well though and gives accurate speed readings of your vehicle as well as accurate latitude and longitude coordinates. I live in an area that does not seem to have any dangerous intersecion/speed trap warnings in the database that is provided as a free subscription to owners of this unit. I can’t comment on its effectiveness in that area.
Overall, I enjoy having this thin layer of surveillance installed in my car. If nothing else, it reminds me occasionally to check my speed and be more mindful of it.
On the downside, the unit is really large and bulky. The windshield suction mount is cheesy and seems ill-suited to the heft of the unit.
I’ll give it an OK rating of 3 stars.
Rating: 3 / 5
A high-end detector should never give false readings on bands only used by the police. I had to disable the Pop warning feature. It triggered several times a minute on the freeway. Also, MANY false Ka band readings! So many that I almost got a ticket on I15 southbound, coming back from Las Vegas. I muted the low-level Ka band warning (so many of them) and 1/2 a minute later my girlfriend spots the CHP on the side of the road! The detector was full alert (5 dots) but did not unmute itself when the signal strength increased!!! I don’t know how I didn’t get pulled over! I never get false Ka band readings with my cheaper Cobra 9440!

I have found a couple of camera’s that this product did not show up. I plan on turning these in but how many more is out there that i don’t know about. I pass a THP one night and never got no signal warning but there is always that chance that he wasn’t running radar. More time will tell before i take off and se it on a trip.
