But I live in a pretty populated area and always have Waze running in CarPlay, and I honestly can't remember the last time my detector went off without a simultaneous Waze alert. More and more I think that detectors have become obsolete. Still, after so many years, it's hard to cut the cord . . .

It's definitely something I'm considering in the honeymoon phase with my V1G2 and R8. They're pretty expensive for probably not doing a whole lot compare to what you get for free with apps like Waze nowadays. I'd probably just keep one as insurance in case you run into those situations where you don't have a report yet from someone just getting into position, but it's interesting to think about.
