Drive Smarter is our free to download app available on Apple and Android that enables you to change settings for your compatible detector, as well as choose how and where your audio alerts play[1]. Our app includes all of the Defender Alerts[2] as well as Community Radar, Posted Speed Limits[3], Turn-by-Turn Navigation, and integration with CarPlay or Android Auto. Subscription is free[4] for owners of Cobra's Bluetooth-enabled[5] radar detectors and dash cams.
Notes
- Posted Speed Limits are not available in all areas.
- Audio routing is available through Bluetooth, CarPlay, and Android Auto. See our Drive Smarter Guide for more information.
- Defender Alerts are provided as a live service and do not include downloads directly to the detector. To receive Defender Alerts with the Drive Smarter services, you must connect your detector to the Drive Smarter app with Bluetooth and keep the app open and running.
- Users without a Bluetooth-enabled detector can use the Drive Smarter app with all basic features of Drive Smarter with the exception of Turn-by-Turn navigation and changing the detector's settings.
- Only RAD700i, RAD490i, RAD480i are compatible with Drive Smarter. All other Bluetooth Cobra models are not compatible.
