Blind spot detector
 

Well I discovered today that my cheapo Cobra radar detector has a new feature. It detects blind spot detectors on other vehicles. I noticed this flying down the toll road as I was approaching a new Tahoe in the right lane. As I got closer my detector just went batshit and I saw a little yellow light in the drivers mirror of the Tahoe light up as I passed. Has anyone else with a radar detector noticed this?

Time to upgrade! :mad:

Aren't Cobra kind of known for including radar frequencies that are not even used by any law enforcement agency in their detectors? They brag about ridiculous 15 band detection, when only 4 bands are necessary and everything else is just going to be a nuisance.

I have never noticed this with my Escort detectors and I have spent time in front of Infiniti Q50s with automatic cruise control. If anything were to falsely set off a radar detector, that'd be it.

If you do upgrade, I'd suggest an Escort model w/ GPS, they'll learn false positive locations and block them out without any effort on your part.
