Gadgetell Review: Cobra XRS 9960G Radar and Laser Detector

The model that I tested was the Cobra XRS 9960G Digital Radar and Laser Detector with the GPS Locator, it is currently available and retails for $389.95. The unit also comes with a lifetime subscription to the AURA Database which allows you stay up to date with the latest information including the locations of speed traps, speed cameras, red light cameras and dangerous intersections. The setup does take a few minutes, it is not hard by any means, but due to the GPS Locator it does require a little more effort than just sticking it on your windshield and plugging it in. Of course, you could simply use the radar detector by itself, but the GPS Locator is what really makes this unit special. Without getting super technical, I will say that using the XRS 9960G was a pleasure.
