Cobra CDR840

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Best price: £169.95

We can’t fault the list of features included with the Cobra CDR840, but it proved tricky to live with, as the menus weren’t easy to navigate and made the unit awkward to set up. Still, the full HD footage looked great and compatibility with Google Maps was fine, plus we enjoyed the HDMI output for playback. It’s just that there are better, cheaper options available.
