Cobra XRS 9445 Specification

The Cobra XRS 9445 is a sophisticated radar and laser detection device designed to provide comprehensive protection against various speed monitoring systems. It operates across multiple radar bands including X, K, Ka Superwide, and Ku, ensuring broad detection capabilities. The device is equipped with LaserEye technology, allowing for 360-degree detection of laser signals, enhancing its ability to detect threats from all directions. Additionally, the Cobra XRS 9445 includes VG-2 and Spectre Alert, which provide immunity against radar detector detection devices, ensuring discreet operation.

The unit features an IntelliMute function that automatically reduces false alerts by sensing the vehicle's engine RPMs, muting the detector when the engine is idling. Its Safety Alert feature warns drivers of approaching emergency vehicles, road hazards, and upcoming railroad crossings, using a unique alert system. The XRS 9445 also offers a digital signal strength meter that provides visual feedback on the proximity of detected signals, allowing users to gauge their distance from the source.

The device's ultra-bright data display is easy to read in both day and night conditions, offering clear visual alerts and information. It includes a City/Highway mode to adjust sensitivity levels according to the driving environment, reducing unnecessary alerts in urban areas. The Cobra XRS 9445 is powered by a 12V DC power source and includes a coiled power cord for easy in-vehicle connectivity. Its compact design ensures it can be mounted conveniently on the windshield or dashboard, making it an ideal choice for those seeking reliable and versatile radar detection technology.
