OUTSTANDING is the word that comes to mind when I think about this fabulous Cobra Vedetta 650G. Yes, it's a great radar & laser detector, and so much more. I first purchased the Vedetta 500 model which is now in my girlfriend's car and it performs as well as this one but lacks several key features that I can now not live without! Not only does it warn of red light cameras, it tells you the direction the cameras are pointing (N-S or E-W). On top of that, it displays your speed (via GPS satellite connection) and even your car's voltage, which is great because my Celica doesn't have an in-dash voltage meter. It took me forever to get the winning bid on this model. They rarely come up on here, and when they do, the bidding is furious to put it mildly. I think my winning bid of $202.82 was a steal. You can get the V 500 for under $80 and the detection capabilities are identical, it just lacks the other features with the exception of the voltage meter. If you do get an opportunity to purchase the 650G, definitely go for it!Read full review

Well you don't need to know Russian to figure out how a radar detector works. In the case id this Cobra Vedetta SLR650 RU, it's a large unit. Gets a little hot during operation, but if you want to get advance notice from your local police shooting radar, THIS IS NOT the detector. The detection range is absolutely POOR. Known stationary traffic control speed devices are well within view before this unit signaled. Not to mention, the same effect when you see your patrol vehicle, too late, before to this Cobra unit alerts. So stay away from the is Cobra Vedetta SLR650 unless you want something for fancy lighting in your dashboard or windshield.

This is the best gps enabled radar detector Cobra has ever built. It is all inclusive feature wise, has a large LCD screen, and was the last unit built before Cobra started offloading features to user's cellphone via Bluetooth(i.e. compass, gps, AURA database). This is why it is common to find used SLR650Gs' selling for more than their original price when new. It has excellent range, indicates minimal false alerts, and as long as the AURA database is kept up to date, gives current speed trap and red light camera locations.

Being a non Russian speaker it can take some figuring out. I know that the highway mode is represented by a T and is pronounced siocca the city is like and upside down L and is pronounced gorad. East is B west is 3 and north is C and south l-0. The K and KA alerts are just that and are represented by the letters and a radar gun using a one to five scale. There is another warning sound that comes on frequently and ive not as yet figured out how to silence it and what its warning me of. So I turn the volume down or off.
