Would I buy the Cobra iRadar ATOM again or recommend it to a friend? YES! The Cobra iRadar ATOM saved me quite a few tickets along the 15,000 mile trip. User data could help clean this up in a hurry. The other thing that seems to make sense would be to use the same AURA database to remove false alerts like automatic doors at grocery stores, etc. But it would be nice to not have to switch between apps when driving. Whether they develop it themselves or partner with Apple/Google for this doesn't matter to me. The only two things I wish Cobra managed to integrate are turn-by-turn directions. The main one I used was to switch between city and highway modes to lower the amount of false alerts. I didn't need to visit these settings too frequently once I picked my settings. Some of the controls that are offloaded, in my case to an iPhone 5, are pictured below. When the radar detector alerts to radar/laser it allows users to report if there was actually an officer at that location, and shares that info with other iRadar users. If I find a new photo enforced intersection that isn't noted by the system it will be added helping future users.

Once you download the free Cobra App and give it permission to access the internet it begins using the AURA database to share user submitted data.

The simplicity makes reading the manual optional. The controls that are on the iRadar Atom include a three-position switch on the left side that controls power and volume and a single button on top for muting all sounds.

The iRadar Atom achieves its tiny form factor by handing off the screen and many of the controls to your Bluetooth connected device. I used the two pieces of Velcro and mounted the Atom to the dashboard so I could remove it when in shady areas (think Detroit). Plenty of mounting options from suction cups, to Velcro, to a metal locking Velcro system. A USB power cable with a front facing USB port to charge your other gadgets like your iPhone. The Cobra iRadar Atom comes with everything you need to get started. I hardly noticed that it was even on the dash until it alerted me of radar, laser, etc, That doesn't mean it has less features or power than the big boys, it still monitors X, K, Ka, VG-2, and laser very well. Another major difference is the iRadar Atom is tiny! It measures just 3.3' long x 2.25' wide x 1.15' tall. This is similar the community approach that Waze takes but built-in with a radar/laser detector. For example, if I see a police officer hiding along the roadside shooting radar, I can tag that officer and share that info with other iRadar users. Let me start off with the biggest differences between the Cobra iRadar Atom iRAD 900 and other radar detectors, the ATOM uses your Smartphone, via an app, to tap a community of other users for alerts. We hit over 40 states and Canada, read on for the detailed Cobra iRadar Atom review. I just got back from a 15,000 mile road trip around the USA with the Cobra iRadar Atom Velcroed to the dashboard. And, that radar detector should save you more than just one ticket.

Getting a speeding ticket these days is so expensive it typically costs much more than your radar detector. A good radar detector (in this case a radar, laser, police, and camera detector) is worth it's weight in gold.
