Cobra RAD 490i Radar Detector — Long-Range Protection, Smart Filtering

Stop getting burned by hidden speed traps. The Cobra RAD 490i delivers professional-grade radar and laser detection in a compact, windshield-mount package — giving you earlier warnings, fewer false alerts, and the confidence to drive smarter every day.

Features

360° Full-Spectrum Radar Detection
Detects all radar bands used by law enforcement in Canada — X, K, and Ka — from all directions, giving you maximum advance warning before you're in range.

IVT Filter (Intelligent Vehicle Technology)
Cobra's proprietary false-alert filtering technology eliminates interference from collision-avoidance systems found on modern vehicles (Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and others). Fewer phantom alerts means you pay attention when it actually matters.

LaserEye Detection — Front & Rear
Dual laser sensors detect police LIDAR guns from the front and rear of your vehicle, giving you critical seconds of warning that a single-sensor unit simply can't match.

OLED Display
A bright, high-contrast OLED screen keeps you informed at a glance — signal strength, band type, and alert status are clearly visible day or night without taking your eyes off the road.

Bluetooth Connectivity + iRadar App Integration
Pair with the free Cobra iRadar app to access a continuously updated community database of speed cameras, red light cameras, and reported speed traps across Canada and the U.S. Real-time crowd-sourced alerts from millions of drivers, delivered straight to your detector.

Auto-Mute & Sensitivity Modes
Highway and City sensitivity modes let you tune detection range to your environment. Auto-mute reduces repetitive alerts so you're not bombarded in areas with known radar sources.

Speed Camera & Red Light Camera Alerts
Built-in GPS-based database warns you of fixed speed enforcement locations and red light cameras — updated automatically through the iRadar app.

Compact, Low-Profile Design
Slim windshield-mount design won't obstruct your sightlines, and the suction-cup mount installs and removes in seconds — no tools required.
