hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:12
I want to talk about radar detectors
0:14
that's why I'm in my car and what I want
0:16
to talk about specifically is this
0:18
little tiny guy this is a pretty amazing
0:21
device this is the Cobra DSP 9200 BT not
0:26
a really friendly name but really a
0:29
pretty remarkable device and part of the
0:31
reason it's so small is because they've
0:34
taken a lot of the smarts in terms of
0:36
the display and put them onto your
0:38
smartphone so you need a smart phone to
0:40
use this but that gives you all sorts of
0:43
really cool advantages before we go
0:44
there though again I want you to see
0:46
just how small this is
0:47
this is Cobras first all-digital
0:49
detector which gives it better range in
0:52
accuracy and what's really cool is it
0:55
eliminates a lot of noise now it turns
0:57
out that on modern really fancy cars
0:59
like outies BMWs the collision avoidance
1:03
system can trigger false positives and
1:05
radar detectors so if you have one of
1:07
those cars and your radar detector is no
1:10
longer functional enter this guy this is
1:13
one of the things they really were
1:14
working on with this new generation of
1:16
Cobra radar detectors because it's a
1:18
legitimate issue obviously but it also
1:21
gives you voice alerts it's a 360 degree
1:23
laser detection because cops have gotten
1:26
pretty smart with all their detection
1:28
systems right what makes it really cool
1:31
because it's bluetooth is it connects to
1:33
the eye radar community but before I
1:35
talk about that let me just show you
1:36
real quick here's what it looks like
1:38
when it detects something in this case
1:40
it's the cave and so this was I believe
1:44
either a cop driving by or was one of
1:46
those speed limit signs that has a radar
1:49
system built in but you can see it's
1:52
pretty easy pretty small it just sits on
1:54
your windshield and as needed it tells
1:56
you what's going on and you can say let
1:58
me make double sure I'm going the speed
2:00
limit
2:00
not that I'm encouraging anyone to speed
2:03
make your own decisions on that but as I
2:06
said this also connects you through your
2:08
phone to the eye radar community which
2:11
gives you a vast amount of additional
2:13
data
2:13
so you can know things like where our
2:16
photo radar systems where our red light
2:19
aura traffic systems where our speed
2:22
cameras it really gives you a lot of
2:24
real time traffic threats so if there's
2:26
a temporary speed trap setup this thing
2:30
can help you find it now again it's kind
2:33
of an awkward niche because I don't know
2:35
that I want to encourage you to break
2:36
the law but on the other hand I know I
2:38
certainly do long drives and sometimes
2:41
you're on the highway in the middle of
2:42
nowhere and honestly 10 miles an hour
2:44
over the limit doesn't seem too radical
2:46
but it's awful nice to have a device
2:49
that tells you whoa slow down over that
2:51
hill you're gonna find a young police
2:53
officer ready to give you a ticket for
2:55
going that 10 miles over the limit so
2:57
worth checking out check online you'll
3:00
find people adore this thing this is I
3:02
think from my experience the best radar
3:05
detector Cobra has ever made I mean they
3:07
really come a long way with this device
3:09
and I just love that it's so small I can
3:11
just put it in my pocket it is however
3:14
not entirely inexpensive it is $399 if
3:18
you buy it at Cobra com
3:20
or if you go and look somewhere like
3:23
Amazon and I think actually on Cobra
3:25
comm right now they have it on for sale
3:27
at 349 sounds like a lot of money but if
3:30
you get a major speeding ticket it's
3:32
gonna cost you more than that so maybe
3:34
not a bad investment if you have a heavy
3:36
foot so this is the Cobra DSP 9200 BT
3:42
digital radar detector and this is a
3:45
keeper for sure even if you're only go
3:47
just a little bit over the speed limit
3:49
cuz I know you're like me and sometimes
3:52
it's hard to not be in toast so this is
3:55
Dave Taylor I'm out of here and I'll
3:57
catch you in my next video
