Americancivilwar.com Product Description
Whether you commute to work or school on the freeway, drive for a living, or just like to go on an occasional recreational trip, the Cobra XRS-9630 Radar/Laser Detector is an invaluable addition to your motor vehicle. Designed for the convenience of 24-hour use, the XRS-9630 has a bright, easy-to-read DigiView data display that can be dimmed for nighttime driving. Measuring 4.89 x 3.01 x 1.44 inches and weighing just 6.38 ounces, the XRS-9630 can be set just about anywhere within easy view when you're driving, and then stored in your glove compartment when you're parked.

The XRS-9630 detects six different radar signals, including the Ku wavelength band that is widely used in Europe and that has been recently approved for use in the United States. In addition, the XRS-9630 is completely invisible to the VG-2 and Spectre radar detector detectors while it alerts you if either the VG-2 or the Spectre is in use in your area.

The XRS-9630 is also sensitive to four different laser signals, and with its LaserEye feature giving you a 360-degree detection range, you'll always be able to tell if you're driving through a surveillance area. And perhaps most importantly, for your own safety and the safety of other drivers sharing the road with you, the XRS-9630 detects two emergency alert systems to give you advance warning of road hazards, keeping you prepared when emergency vehicles are nearby. In addition to detecting the Safety alert system, the XRS-9630, like most of Cobra's Radar/Laser detectors, offers Cobra's exclusive feature of detecting the presence of the Strobe alert system, which emergency crews use to control traffic signals.

Other features include a power-saving automatic shutdown when you turn your ignition off and an easy-to-program menu. So get the Cobra XRS-9630 Radar/Laser Detector for your car or truck, and you'll be prepared for just about anything when you're behind the wheel.

Note: Radar detectors can be used without restriction in well over 40 states, but restrictions apply in a few states. Please check with your state department of motor vehicles or highway patrol if you have questions about whether there are restrictions in your area.

cobra xrs 9630 far cry to meet its own features
cobra xrs 9630 far cry to meet its own features

I usually don't write any reviews, its a waste of time anyway.
I am going to be brief. I got the product quick, that's fine.
i went to birmingham to tested and to atlanta also; i passed three troopers at the other side of the road, the device didn't beep even once.
it went off a couple of times, but who knows what it was, i did not see any police car. during highway it was so disappointed, i saw many police cars at the side of the road with all their lights on and no detection at all.

Im telling you it makes me laugh when i went back to the box to read all the features, not even close to meet at least one of those with reliability. I read an article saying that you dont get a good radar for less than a three hundred dollars, i start to believe that. i am impressed how many good articles i have seen in this site promoting this product. i simply don't understand, must be someone that works for this radar. please try it out but be sure that they are going to reimburse you the money before doing it. in the scale from 1 to 10 this product is 2 maybe. i gave 2 stars because people dont trust in 1 star rating. think about getting a speed ticket of $200 for trusting this device, try it out, drive at 55mphs/hr just for testing and you will see the piece of thrash you have. then return it.
 
Blacked out
To point out what others have said, this detector works fabulous and the range is fantastic. In that area, I'm extremely happy with it.
The compass thing isn't really a big deal for me... I never really programmed it so I won't make any other comments about it.

There was an issue I've had with this detector and it's quite bothersome. BUT this may be partly the fault of my 12v power outlet in my car. I noticed sometimes while driving the detector would "restart" itself. I traced this back to a loose connector for the power outlet. I assumed I fixed since the restarting stopped. About 4-5 months after I bought it I started seeing strange incomplete lettering and blocks on the display. The detector continued to function properly.
Now about 8 months later the display shows nothing at all. It is completely non-functional. The detector still works fine though audibly. Did my loose connector end up causing a strange short in the display? I'm not sure. The connector is not a problem anymore but the display no longer shows. It's ok. I can deal with it. :)
 
DOES THE JOB
This unit picks up signals with ease. If anything, it picks up too many signals and when programmed for all the radar sources, it constantly beeps.
It picks up the POP signal at times, when I can not see a visable source for a POP radar unit. Nevertheless, that is not to say it doesn't work right.

To compare it with the Escort is like comparing apples and grapes, but it seems to do the job, and for the price, it is a good buy.

I would suggest that the owner try the factory settings prior to reprograming for additional radar signals. Some area only have K band and laser. So, you in essence have an over kill in signals.

It worked
Have not got pulled over after having it. It did warn me of a roadside police about a mile ahead on high way once and an emergency vehicle approaching the other time. Usually the false alarm is weak signal that I can tell after getting familiar with it.
My only question is it tends to get hot, very hot, although it seems not affecting functioning. Do not know whether it is usual.
 
Wonderful product
This was the first Radar/Lazer detector I have bought. I have been extreamly pleased with this product. It works well on the highway and city. This detector has already saved me a few times, also it helped me alert one of my friends who was traveling in front of me (by about a mile) in enought time that he was also able to slow down in time. Just remeber this is a radar detector, not a police detector. They still can pull you over, even if it doesnt pick them up.
