Cobra ESD 9870 Radar Detector
Cobras ESD 9870 radar and laser detector provides exclusive Cobra functions like Strobe Alert and IntelliMute alongside 360-degree LaserEye detection and conveniences like a digital signal strength meter (which shows your relative proximity to the target) and Cobras Safety Alert traffic-warning system. Cobras LaserEye provides 360-degree, 11-band Extra Sensory Detection of laser signals. Its four signals include the LTI 20-20 Laser, the Ultra Lyte Laser, the ProLaser, and the ProLaser III.

The ESD 9870 detects all radar (X, K, super-wideband Ka), laser, and safety radar systems. It also provides switchable highway and city modes to prevent false alarms in congested urban areas. Its DigiView data display makes intelligibility a cinch (through its use of easily recognizable text), while EasySet programming menu offers user-friendly mode selection/setting with visual guidance. Further, the units Stay Set memory retains all critical settings in non-volatile memory so theyll be there even after a power outage.

IntelliMute is a relative-speed-sensing auto-mute system designed to virtually eliminate false alerts. Spectre Alert shows you when youre under surveillance of Spectre radar detector detection, while the Spectre Undetectable mode provides complete immunity to Spectre detection.

Strobe Alert works with tens of thousands of emergency vehicles currently equipped with traffic light controlling strobe emitters to provides advanced alert of the presence and/or approach of these vehicles. Safety Alert, meanwhile, warns you of emergency vehicles and road hazards from systems equipped with Safety Alert transmitters.

VG-2 Alert lets you know when youre under VG-2 radar surveillance, working alongside VG-2 Undetectable data display to provide complete immunity to VG-2 detection. The city/highway switch lets you manually select an operating mode, reducing the frequency of falsing in densely populated urban areas, and you can dim the detector display to enhance night driving visibility.

Other great features include SmartPower (a Cobra exclusive that automatically shuts of power to the unit when ignition is turned off), a digital-signal-strength indicator (which shows relative proximity to a target), voice alert (which gives you specific-band voice announcements), an eight-point electronic compass (which automatically provides an accurate electronic direction reading), and a system-ready prompt (which signifies that the radar detector has correctly completed a self-test and is ready).

Whats in the Box
Radar detector, windshield bracket, power cord, and a users manual.


   Review for Cobra ESD 9870 Radar Detector

High Dollar Junk ( User Rating : 10 /50 )
Please do not be fooled by the high dollar look of this unit! All Cobra detectors are full of software glitches. I started with the older 9550 model and it had so many glitches in it that Cobra kindly upgraded me to the 9870. But guess what. This "new and improved" unit is based off of the same old
 


Marketing Fluff ( User Rating : 10 /50 )
Cobra has you fooled with marketing fluff. There is no such thing as "11 Bands". There are only 3 radar bands and 1 laser band. Thats it. They count the different brands of radar guns as different bands, they count the different brands of laser guns as different band, they count VG-2 as a band (its
 


Great Unit ( User Rating : 10 /50 )
This is a great unit for the price, it detects 11 bands of radar and it gives plenty of warning time for you to take action. Pay no attention to the above review.. This unit is VG-2 Undetectable, it never claims to be undetectable to Spectre. I have tested my 9870 on a spectre and vg-2, I get alerts

Bel Express 910 ( User Rating : 40/50 )
The large digital display (indicating signal strength) is great. But while the Ka/X/K band indicators are small and hard to read in daylight, its more important to know youre being "painted" rather than what youre being "painted" by... unless its by laser.

There are a lot of nicer detectors with m..

Good Detector ( User Rating : 50/50 )
Do yourself a favor and look at the Silver Bullet. I did quite a bit of research all of which lead me to PNI radar detectors. At first I was going to purchase a Traveller model but after checking out all the power and mounting options for the SB I bought it. On more than one occasion it has alerted ..

Valentine One Users,.....save your money! ( User Rating : 40/50 )
I carefully read all the reviews and decided on one of the more expensive radar detectors. (Valentine One) I installed that detector and it works well.
I also decided to purchase a detector for the wifes car, but did not wish to spend the $ again. So after reading more reviews, I decided to go ..
