image Drivers will no longer be caught off guard at dangerous intersections thanks to the in-store arrival of Cobra Electronics’ wireless remote controlled radar/laser detector with speed and red light camera location alerts. The virtually undetectable XRS R9G is the first radar detector to be paired with a GPS locator in the United States. The XRS R9G consists of a main detector, a wireless remote control display unit and a GPS locator.

The GPS locator includes a speed and red light camera location database with updates available through Cobra. Because speed and red light cameras are most often installed in high risk areas, Cobra’s R9G warns drivers to slow down and stay alert when approaching dangerous intersections or strips of highways. Another layer of this technology currently in development includes alerts for high accident zones, known as “black spots,” as well as school and construction zones. 

The R9G’s unique design makes the device virtually undetectable-helping to deter theft-while its Super-Xtreme Range Superheterodyne (S-XRS) Maximum Performance 12 Band Technology with LaserEye ensures detection of the fastest radar and laser guns, including POP Mode.

In order to maintain the R9G’s discreet appearance, both the GPS locator and the main radar/laser detector unit mount behind the rearview mirror at the top of the windshield. This placement not only reduces the unit’s visibility from outside the car, it also improves its detection range. All of the components are installed inside the vehicle, protecting it from the elements and heat of the engine.

The lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack allows the pocket-sized remote to operate up to 40 hours and includes a two-hour quick-charge option. The product’s design also makes it possible to customize mounting locations and easily remove it from the car, further deterring theft.

Cobra’s new XRS IntelliLink remote controlled detectors provide “under the radar” detection at “on the radar” prices. The XRS R9G, including a GPS locator with speed and red light camera database, has an MSRP of $449.95. Cobra also offers the high-performance product without the GPS locator, the XRS R7, which has an MSRP of $349.95. The products are now available nationally at major retailers and installers.

In addition, Cobra Electronics provides its proprietary speed and red light camera database and alerts in its U.S. line of 2007 mobile navigation products. The company also offers speed camera detection in its European mobile navigation products through Performance Products Limited.
