Thanks for the video! Good to see a video on the Road Scout. I like your BBMC logo up front too. :) Thanks for the shoutout in the video as well! That was a pleasant surprise, haha. I agree with you guys about the video quality comparison with other dashcams, as well as your overall conclusions. I'm surprised to hear that Cobra isn't selling hardwire cables. They're readily available from other brands and any generic one should work fine. The USB SmartCord looks to be the same one Escort uses so you should be able to use an Escort smart hardwire cable if you'd also like a remote mute button and alert LED as well.
I hate logging into the unit via Wi-Fi. Why? I cant be connected and use my phone apps at the same time. I get voice controlled messages from an app when driving, but not if my wifi is taken up.
Can you please advise, I have mine used it for 5 months now it says Memory management recovery auto reboot . Called for customer service they said get a new memory card it will be good and I got new memory card still not working
Whenever I start up my car the cobra road scout will flash MEMORY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY and will shut off right after. It's like it's not getting power but the power indicators show that it is. Can anybody help me with this problem?
After connecting to the camera mode wifi I open up the Drive HD app and get the error code, camera not responding with live path. Do you know how to fix this by chance?
I’ve been looking for these 2-1 radar dash cam combi. But it’s been 2 years after releasing it. Should I still get this?? Or any recommendations for other 2-1 device? Thanks for the help.
@@chipcopp5286 Hey, I’m looking to get one hardwired to my car as well. Where did you get your hardwire kit from for the Cobra Road Scout if you don’t mind?
@@hyperionleo7366 I actually ended up returning the road scout because I thought it was garbage , I got the escort 360 and the m1. U can get the kits on Amazon and places like auto anything or car Id etc.
Thanks for watching! It depends on the frame rate, format and resolution used by the dash camera. For example at 1080p 30fps a 32GB memory card can store about 3-4 hours of footage
Yo Alex, Just by accident I came across a video clip filmed with what appears to be the soon to be released Viofo A129 *Plus* The video was filmed 6/24/20 in Brasov, Romania. It’s a two minute clip, and the RUclips resolution settings say it’s 1440p@60fps. The footage looks pretty darn good. If this is offered in a duo, and the rear camera is also 1440p@60fps I will be happy as a clam! Do you know anything about this? I’ll leave a link to the video in a separate comment just in case it gets stuck in RUclips’s spam folder. -Chuck
Hi Chuck, absolutely. The VIOFO A129 Plus is coming soon, but it ended up getting delayed for various reasons. It will be released as a 2CH dash cam, but there are a number of details that are yet to be finalized, so we will have more for you soon once we get our sample unit in :)
@@blackboxmycar That's awesome. So you say it'll have a matching 2K rear cam, and be less than $200. Yea! I'll take your silence as confirmation. Take my money. Lol -Chuck
Great video Very well explained I’ve been looking forward to in one where are detector and dash cam together sounds great I don’t mind paying a little more for something that would exceeded expectations and be convenient. I miss placed mine Escort passport I bought at Best Buy but you know it’s time for an upgrade and I have a 700 hp where Shelby Cobra 2014 hundred it’s basically set up like a race car so if people either want to get pictures of it or they want to run me out you wouldn’t believe what I go through as a woman trying to arrive alive in this car it sounds like a Harley motorcycle with the four pipes in the back there’s nothing like a Shelby cobra old-school to draw attention to yourself that you don’t want it’s a collectible so I need all the help I can get filming what’s really going on around me and protecting my anonymity. Thank you for having that wonderful summary tell me what I need to know it is a shame he doesn’t have some kind of parking monitoring she can see what people are doing around your car when you’re not in front of it that’s the only thing I can see it latch
Went in a gas station and I seen that seen the price I Laugh 😂 $499 I will never buy a cobra again their all trash I will Stick with my Valentine1 Gen2
I purchased this cobra road scout and could not understand how to operate it and I found myself getting upset while driving due to having no clue how to operate the complicated fucker, I took it back and got a thinkware.
Cobra is so bad in both of them scan radar and dash camera I will not ever buy anything from them cause I have bought a lot of project and all of them is So bad I just lost my money for nothing
Cobra radar detectors were acquired by Escort Radar which are all under the Cedar Electronics Group. Escort also acquired Beltronics and all detectors are currently manufactured by Escort. Quality for Cobra detectors is way up.

Thanks for the insight, Ariel!
Please check your data on not being able to be hard wired. Another RUclipsr has it powered through his existing Escort power cord.
Yup I seen that guy that had his hard wired
It works with my hard wire having problems connecting

Nececito reparar un cobra road scout!!
So as just a rader is the redline the same or better then the road scout.? I've already one of each, dashcam for safety
Can you please advise, I have mine used it for 5 months now it says Memory management recovery auto reboot . Called for customer service they said get a new memory card it will be good and I got new memory card still not working
Hey Sayed, did you buy it from us? If so, give us a shout and we can help you troubleshoot.
Sweet. Suction cups. Should hookup great to my tint strip. Is there really no way to hardwire this baby? Nice unit. Cobra makes great stuff.
Great video, hit all the points. Got mine crazy easy to use
Great to hear, Wyatt!
How is it holding up?
Whenever I start up my car the cobra road scout will flash MEMORY MANAGEMENT RECOVERY and will shut off right after. It's like it's not getting power but the power indicators show that it is. Can anybody help me with this problem?
U can use it with hard wire I've done it and if it only uses a cigarette lighter plug in how r u powering it but anyway nice video
Is it possible to display the compass heading on the same screen with the current speed?
Hi Frank, If you email our support team at info[@]blackboxmycar.com they will be able to look into this for you
After connecting to the camera mode wifi I open up the Drive HD app and get the error code, camera not responding with live path. Do you know how to fix this by chance?
If you email our support team with your order number they will be able to help you troubleshoot this 😊
Same i also have this issue, Im on ios 15.5
I purchased this but had no clue how to operate yet even understand it’s functions, I took it back and got a thinkware pro.
If a dashcam is all you need the thinkware pro is the better option, a lot simpler to set up and use 👍

I second this
Same here...is there a better solution on the market now?
Does the unit have GPS auto-lock out?
Yes it does!
Thank you for this video. Finding out it has no hardwire option makes this a no go for me
Yes it does , mine is hardwired , they have a mirror kit as well as just the wiring kit.

Wait. How did you go to CES2020 when it wasn’t even held in Vegas?
CES 2020 was in January of 2020 before COVID-19 hit the US, so we managed to make it out there! CES2021 had no one in attendance unfortunately 😞
Was working fine now it doesn’t! Says memory management recovery auto reboot🤷🏽♂️ does nothing now…can’t even reset it
Did you ever get the problem fixed? Mine is doing the same thing
For how long in time does a 32 gb can record?
Great video by the way looking forward to buy me one of this two in one
Thanks for watching! It depends on the frame rate, format and resolution used by the dash camera. For example at 1080p 30fps a 32GB memory card can store about 3-4 hours of footage
Cam won’t connect with my phone
How big of a memory card will the scout take and what kind?
Hi Adam, it will take max 32GB SD card, and we recommend SanDisk A1 or above.
@@blackboxmycar Thanks
Okay, so is it a good radar detector ?
Pretty good!
