I changed the cable and now it works and displays the green button. Make sure the micro USB cable you are using is not a charging only cable, but data cable as well.
When I get to the "cobra rad 480i software update app" it shows like there is no device connected and says please check connection but it is connected and says "download mode" on the radar. I tried on 2 different laptops.
This usually happens because of the cable being used. It must be a USB data cable. The detector will show "Download mode" if it get any USB power. For example, if you plugged the USB into a powerbank and then to the detector, the detector will still show "download mode" even though its not connected to a computer.

Yes, you would need to make sure youre using a data cable.

i bought 2 weeks ago a cobra rad 480i. Do i need to update my cobra rad 480i ?
its a good idea to check to make sure your unit is up to date.
What does the update do
You can find the update notes directly on Cobra's website> www.cobra.com/pages/irad-system-updates
Well what a waste of money can't update on my OS
