User settings features another toggle between highway and city modes, an option to chose between voice and tone alerts, an automute function, and options for automatically logging detections on the map and managing power usage of the iPhone running the app.

Here users can dig in and customize the sensitivity of the iRadar detector and fine-tune the app itself. The third function of the iRadar app is the Settings menu. In these screenshots, we see the iRadar app's main status screen and one of the warnings provided by the Aura database. Users can filter the map to show real threats, false alarms, or both, and can set markers to expire after a customizable time period (default is a week). Users can also access a map of the current area that overlays detected and marked threats on Google Maps data. When the iRadar detects radar in the area, here is also where users will be alerted to the band sensed and the signal strength and given the ability to mark the location as a real or false threat-useful for marking those annoying 'Your current speed' signs or automated doors in shopping center parking lots. Here users can also switch between the iRadar's city and highway modes and quickly mark locations of speed traps or safety cameras. Available as a free download in the iTunes App Store, the app features a virtual dashboard that monitors your GPS position, vehicle speed, and direction of travel. The iRadar app is what separates the Cobra iRadar from the rest of Cobra's product lineup and indeed the rest of the radar/laser detector market.

Currently, the iRadar only works with the iPhone or iPod Touch, but Android compatibility is around the corner in early 2011. Once successfully paired, the red LED indicator turns blue and an audible chime sounds. You can initiate pairing with the iRadar from an iOS device's Bluetooth menu. However, the 'i' at the beginning of iRadar is an indicator that this radar/laser detector is meant to work with Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch.

The Cobra iRadar app gives tremendous flexibility over how and what the iRadar detector reports.
