Cobra was honored for its new Cobra iRadar S-Series radar/laser/camera detector. This new version of the Cobra iRadar is the world-s first under-the-hood radar detector to utilize a Bluetooth® connection to a smartphone. This state-of-the-art design is ideal for drivers who want the ultimate in radar/laser/camera detection without having to mount the unit on the windshield or dashboard of their vehicle.
Products entered in this prestigious program are evaluated by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronic products across 29 product categories.
Cobra Electronics- iRadar S-Series along with all CES Honorees will be displayed in The Venetian at the 2013 International CES, which runs January 8-11, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Honorees will also be displayed at CES Unveiled: The Official Press Event of the International CES from 4-7 p.m. on Sunday, January 6 in the South Seas Ballroom C at Mandalay Bay.
Similar to the Cobra iRadar 200, the iRadar S-Series detector connects to a free companion app that allows users to connect to the iRadar Community — the largest and most active crowd-sourcing community of smart detection users — and share valuable information with nearby users regarding live police, camera enforcement locations, dangerous intersections and other caution areas.
Once installed, the Cobar iRadar S-series detector is completely invisible to those who do not know it is there. It is discreetly installed in the engine compartment of a vehicle with simple installation as it connects via Bluetooth to the Cobra iRadar app.
The app, utilizing the smartphone-s GPS and data connectivity, allows users to report live police, caution areas, and photo enforcement areas to other iRadar users. This iRadar Community allows users to rely on a real-time network to give them superior situational awareness while driving. The app-s smooth graphical interface makes the S-Series the most user-friendly detector on the market.
The system is universally compatible with Android and iOS and the Cobra iRadar Community has over half a million downloads.
