Maximum Performance Digital Radar/Laser Detector

System Ready Prompt
This feature notifies you that the radar detector has correctly completed a self-test and is ready.

Spectre I and VG-2 Undetectable
The XRS 9955 provides complete immunity to Spectre I and VG-2 radar detector-detectors.

Car Battery Voltage Display/Low Car Battery Warning
Provides approximate voltage of your car's battery and also alerts you whenever your car battery voltage falls below 11.9 volts.

Detection
The XRS 9955 provides 15-band detection: 7 radar, 6 laser, and 2 safety signals. Radar signals include X Band, K Band, Ka Superwide, Ku Band, VG-2, Spectre I and Spectre IV+. Laser signals include LTI 20-20, Ultra Lyte, ProLaser, ProLaser III, Stalker LIDAR and Speedlaser. Safety signals include Safety Alert and Strobe Alert.

It also detects the latest POP Mode Radar Gun (Super-fast Instant-On Mode) as well as Ku Band Radar Guns currently being used in Europe. Be prepared for future introduction in the United States. And when it comes to LaserEye, the XRS 9955 provides 360-degree detection of laser signals.

IntelliMute Pro
The relative speed-sensing auto shutdown feature will render your detector undetectable by currently available radar detector-detectors.

S-XRS Maximum Performance Technology
The improved Super-Xtreme Range Superheterodyne (S-XRS) detection technology, with its super-fast radar lock-on detection circuitry, provides maximum detection range and best possible advance warning to even the fastest of POP mode radar guns.

Full Color ExtremeBright DataGrafix II Display
A 1.5-inch OLED display provides enhanced data display in easy-to-read vivid colors. It also allows you to select from five different color schemes to match your dashboard's illumination (full color, blue, orange, green, and red).

Alerts
With voice alert, you'll be warned with specific voice annunciation of the signal being detected. And with VG-2 alert, you'll be warned when you're under surveillance of VG-2 radar detector-detectors.

Strobe alert, a Cobra exclusive, works with tens of thousands of emergency vehicles currently equipped with traffic light controlling strobe emitters. It provides advance warning of the presence and/or approach of emergency vehicles.

With safety alert, you'll be warned of the presence and/or approaching emergency vehicles, railroad crossing, and road hazard locations equipped with Cobra's exclusive Safety Alert transmitters.

With Spectre Alert I/IV+, you'll be alerted when you are under surveillance of Spectre I/IV+ radar detector-detectors.

Auto Mute

Digital Signal Strength Meter
This feature provides you with relative proximity to the target using 5-level digital signal strength meter.

SmartPower

The City/Highway modes allow you to select the operating mode, reducing the frequency of falsing in densely populated urban areas. And the Dim mode allows you to dim the radar detector display, enhancing night driving visibility.

EasySet Programming Menu
This user-friendly mode selection/setting has visual guidance.

This review is from: Cobra XRS 9955 Voice Alert 15 Band Radar/Laser Detector with 1.5-Inch Full Color Display and Upgradeable Red Light/Speed Features (Electronics)

The Cobra XRS-9955 provides very decent K/Ka Detection, definitely notice an improvement from the Cobra 9950 that I owned. During a driving test with my friend, it seemed to performed about the same level (in term of sensibility and number of false reading) as his Beltronics Pro GX65, a detector that costs twice as much as the Cobra. However, we did noticed the XRS-9955 is a bit slow to react and alert to instant-on radar. The Whistler Pro and Valentine One performed noticeably better in this area, but again they cost much more. The Cobra 9955 is a good choice for the money.

Cobra XRS 9955 Voice Alert 15 Band Radar/Laser Detector with 1.5-Inch Full Color Display and Upgradeable Red Light/Speed Features
In the past I have had 3 other Cobra Radar Detectors so I was excited to get this one. I installed it in my car in the morning and by noon a bright blue line appeared across the display. The line stays there at all times when the unit is on and wont go away. Before I returned the unit I did some research and about 1/3 to 1/2 of the reviewers of similar Cobra units had screen failures of some kind. I wish I could buy the unit with all of the features without the failing display.
