Can I use this radar detector if I don’t have a cigarette lighter in my car?

Alternate power options are available if your vehicle doesn’t have a 12V/cigarette lighter outlet. A standard cigarette lighter cord is included in the package.

Use features like QuietDrive and AutoMute to reduce extra noise and keep your drive quieter and quickly mute alerts with the Mute button.

How do I connect to the app?

You can connect by pairing with your device via Bluetooth using the Drive Smarter app. Once connected, you can receive community alerts from other drivers plus Defender alerts (like red light and speed cameras).

If I have questions about my product, can I speak to a human?

Our friendly, knowledgeable service team is US-based and available to help.

The RAD 480i is a strong performer in its class with good range and filtering. Real-world range varies based on your environment, the police equipment being used, and even current weather conditions.
