The CR95 is now ranked as a 4-star rated detector, a first for Whistler, providing you ample time to slow down in most police radar encounters.
RadarBusters rates the CR95 as the
best valued-price non-GPS enabled detector on the market and the best in the under $200 price category.
The unit now offers performance on par with some detectors costing twice as much.
The CR95 offers 360-degree protection and detects X, K, and Ka radar signals and excellent sensitivity to police laser.
Radar Detection Range
The CR95 has noticeably better range and performance than all previous models, and is now ranked in the 4-star category.
This level of performance and quickness to react to I/O police radar makes this detector excellent with instant on encounters.
ALL NEW FDSR ### Feature
Whistler now offers a feature that can't be found anywhere else, the ability to detect and alert to FMCW (frequency modulated continuous waveform) radar that other detectors filter out. When the FDSR ### or FDSr ### feature is enabled, the CR95 will not only alert to K-band, but also with a continuously changing series of numbers that relate to the nature of the modulation used.
Especially when coupled with the Verilight GPS database, you will be notified that you are approaching an active "speed on green" photo enforced intersection, such as one monitored by the TraffiStar S391.
CAS Signal Rejection
You can fine tune the degree of signal rejection with XK and Ka filters which add additional processing times prior to alerting to vehicles' collision avoidance systems.
With a K filter setting of 4, the CR95 does especially well at filtering out K-band CAS systems from Chevrolet, Honda, and Acura that can wreak havoc with other detectors.
Photo Enforcement Protection with Builtin GPS
Automated photo enforcement cameras and speed traps are everywhere today!
To combat these Whistler has equipped the CR95 with GPS technology and their photo enforcement database, called Verilight, will alert as you approach one of these locations.
When combined with the FDSR ### feature, you will be notified that you are likely approaching a speed-on-green enforced intersection and you would be well advised to check your speed before crossing into the intersection.
Updatable Firmware
The CR95 comes equipped with a USB port which allows for both firmware updates as well as updates to its photo enforcement database.
Clear Bilingual Voice Alerts
The detector has clear voice alerts, in English or Spanish, providing you with the information you need without having to take your eyes off the road.
High Definition OLED Display
The unit displays radar alerts using an OLED display. The display is easy to read at any angle and the brightness is adjustable.
Easy Programming
You program your CR95 by pressing the buttons to set the
brightness of your display, program the radar bands used in your area,
adjust the filtering options, and more.
Online Photo Enforcement Database Updates

latest database updates to protect you from new threats by simply connecting it to your computer's USB port and downloading the latest database updates.
