I just upgraded to the 9965 from the 9950. With the touch screen I have notices the screen display is not as bright and crisp as the older model 9950. Also with the sun coming in over the front of the car you can not read the screen at all, it gets washed out. You will need to rely on the voice and tone alerts. The screen should have been made with better shielding to block the sun out. The other reason I like the older model is that the 9950 had an electronic compass the new one you need to purchase the 9970 with the gps locator to get the compass. Really miss having the compass. Should not have been taken out. When you look at the screen you have a blank center where the compass used to be. Would recommend going back to the 9950 or purchase the xrs9945. Hope this helps everyone when considering purchasing the new touch screen cobra radar detector.

Detects signals in enough time to react, has a 4 or 5 bar signal strength so you know how close the signal is coming from, customized screen output, lots of features. I love the touch screen, much better than buttons all over the detector.

Purchased this dectector last year, it works fairly well. However, I also purchased the Aura GPS unit that attaches to the side. The updating software is a mess. It updated perfectly for a while, then suddenly my GPS unit wasn't registered. Tried to re-register was told I was already registered. Finally contacted a human at Cobra, tried to explain the problem, he requested serial numbers and my personal info. I sent him all requested info several times via email. Now he won't reply at all. Will never buy another Cobra product.
