Whistler CR88 Radar Detector Review

Overview of the Whistler CR88 Radar Detector

The Whistler CR-88 is now ranked as a 3-star rated radar detector, providing you ample time to slow down in most police radar encounters.

Radar Roy rates the Whistler CR88 as the best radar detector in the under $180 price category, providing you with 4X the capture distance of a police K and Ka radar gun. While the Whistler CR88's overall performance doesn't match that of the highest priced radar detectors we offer, the Whistler CR88 provides very good performance for the money.

The Whistler CR88 offers 360-degree protection and detects X, K, and Ka radar signals and very good sensitivity to police laser.

Provides no Photo Enforcement Protection

Automated photo enforcement cameras and speed traps are everywhere today!

The Whistler CR88 has the same performance of the Whistler CR93, but does not come equipped with GPS technology so it does not provide photo enforcement protection. For just $25 more you can get the Whistler CR93 which does provide that capability.

Radar Detection Range

The Whistler CR88 has noticeably better range and performance than previous models, and is ranked in the 3-star category because it has four times the capture distance range of a police K and Ka constant on radar gun.

This level of performance and quickness of the Whistler CR88 to react to I/O police radar makes this detector very good in instant on encounters.

Sensitivity and Alert Filtering

The sensitivity and filtering of the Whistler CR88 is quite good; you will get some false alerts but will not be bombarded as you would with lesser radar detectors.

ALL NEW Field Disturbance Sensor Rejection (FDSR)

Given all of the K-band based automotive collision avoidance systems that are on the road today, the Whister CR88 provides the unique ability to inform its owner that the detector is being actively being interfered with which may impact its reception performance.

While other detectors may successfully filter out these sources from creating false alerts, the driver is likely more vulnerable to a real police radar traps while in proximity to these systems. FDSR informs the driver of this vulnerability, while still remaining quiet. The CR88 does especially well at filtering out K-band CAS systems from Chevrolet, Honda, and Acura that can wreak havoc with other radar detectors.

Updatable Firmware

The CR88 comes equipped with a USB port which allows for both firmware updates as well as updates to its photo enforcement database.

Clear Voice Alerts

The CR88 has clear voice alerts, providing you with the information you need without having to take your eyes off the road.

High Definition OLED Display

The CR88 displays radar alerts using an OLED display. The display is easy to read at any angle and the brightness is adjustable.
