Seems to be a pretty good detector as long as you have aux power available. I cannot get anywhere near the 15 hours on battery power. I have purchased new batteries and gone thru multiple charge/recharge cycles b4 writing this review. I expressly purchased this detector because I did not want a cable running to the unit so not going to be useful for my application.
It's the cheapest way to keep me driving at the speed limit around town; my car is so smooth and silent that I don't realize sometimes I'm driving faster that the marked speed limit. This radar only works with old radar frequencies which the town has installed all over. The new laser detectors are so accurate that by the time you know, it's too late. I don't drive too fast on highways anyway! So for the price I paid, this is perfect.
This is my third unit and they have worked very well, the best part is no wires hanging all over the dashboard

I have read several review about the Whistler XTR-195,and from my personal experience with this model overall I am satisfied with it performance I estimate it range for detection 1/4-1/2 mile away. I love the cordless feature,this unit will identify X,K,Ka,Vg2. This the second whistler radar detector that I have own and I personal like there product,my next whistler will be the XTR-540 cordless. This unit is excellent for local city driving on city mode.
It is a very good product works well and have been using it for over a year so far. Just don't forget to turn it on.

Garbage. You can turn it on but it turns itself off around 1 minute later. This happens repeatedly. I've been told it runs better when run through the lighter socket but I bought it strictly to run cordless on batteries. It was also supposed to be new but arrived in an unsealed taped up plastic shell. After repeated attempts to use it (including changing to other special rechargable batteries) I've since placed it in the throw-out bin.
First of all, the price i paid for this detector was amazing, almost 70% off! I really like some of the features that it offers. The feature that helps you stay awake if your drowzy is really neat. The other feature i really like is where you can set it to tell you if there is a cop anywhere by you with all radar/laser functions off in the cop car. Overall it's a great buy.
Has a mind of it's own. Never goes off around police either or it waits until you've passed them. Pretty much worthless.
