    It works! Already paid for itself by saving me from a couple of tickets. Don't use this and an excuse to drive like a moron, still be safe!

    The device reboots several times in one day. When I watch the recordings, its super blurry and super slow. The device itself can detect police from a very far distance, which is nice!

    It works really well at getting you out of speeding tickets. The only bad thing is if you change any of the settings on it and you unplug it from power, it will reset everything to as if you have just pulled it out of the box.

    It’s a solid radar but bit overpriced, would say more gimmicky. It’s not at the level of an escort 360. Definitely seems to have less false alarms than cheaper options which was pretty nice. Try to get it on sale.

    Great radar detector for the price. Initially I was having difficulty with the live feed but I believe the app was updated and now everything works how it should be.

    Actually was looking for a dashcam, but figured this 2n1 would be better after reading the positive reviews. Unfortunately, the few negative reviews were more accurate. In fairness mine may have been defective since the unit gets very warm while in use just for 30mins. Since it's mounted in a car windshield not a good thing for any electronics. Also the power cable is pretty short so really no concealing the cable into the trim gaps of your car. The second thing the apps are awful at least with my iphone-10 promax. It's difficult to connect & if it does it will drop. You actually need the Drive HD to work if you're using the dashcam not so much for the iRadar app. I decided to return the unit for a refund and let best buy know that the unit may be defective since it gets way too hot for something that could be on for hours in your car.

      We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed in your experience with Road Scout. It is normal for it to get slightly warm but not hot so there may have been an issue with the unit that you received. This may also explain the bluetooth issues you had. If you would like to try another one then FYI to make sure you have allowed bluetooth and location services set to always in the iPhone/iRadar settings (found in iPhone settings, scroll down to iRadar).

      Be aware that we offer straight SmartCord power cords and direct wire kits for Road Scout if you do not prefer the included coiled power cord.

      For further assistance, please contact us at 800-543-1608 during our hours of Monday-Friday, 9am-5:00pm EST. cedarelectronics-cobra

    Not sure whats going on, but i went to look at a recorded video today, only to find that the video that was recorded was completely useless. I got this mainly for the dashcam. If an accident would've happened and I needed evidence, this would have been worst case scenario. I'll be keeping an eye out for any other issues, but I may need to return and spend a bit more for something better. Only one cop that surely was detecting was never detected. It picks up everything it seems, beside the one cop. I assume he was an "instant on" device

    It does what it’s supposed to. Although the camera can only be seen live in some states, otherwise it just saves it to a drive to look at later, which we didn’t know. But the detector works as it should 360.
