Cheetah C-100 Review

Paradise Valley, Arizona was the first community in the USA to implement a photo radar program over fourteen years ago. Then once neighboring cities found out what a cash cow these devices were they also started sprouting up across the valley.

Then this year the State of Arizona with a huge budget deficit also decided to get into the action and began their program installing sixty stationary and forty mobile speed cameras throughout the state.

Therefore I was relieved when last month I met with the Speed Cheetah representative at the SEMA show in Las Vegas and he gave me one of their new C-100 GPS based speed camera detectors to try out.

The Cheetah C-100 is smaller than a pack of cigarettes and can either lay on your dashboard or be concealed if their GPS antenna is connected and it will alert you in plenty of time of approaching fixed speed and red light cameras.

Over the past month I’ve been using the device travelling throughout the southwest.

The unit is equipped with the Trinity Database which I have found to be the most accurate and frequently updated speed enforcement camera database for North America. Both Escort Inc and Beltronics also subscribe to this same service for updating their Escort 9500ix, Escort 9500ci and Bel GX-65 radar detectors.

I can honestly say that the Cheetah C100 would have paid for itself on my first day of use as I sped to Sky Harbor Airport on I-10. During this twelve mile stretch the C-100 alerted me to three newly installed speed cameras that I never knew were activated!

The following video is my review of the Cheetah C-100 and at the end there is a link and discount code that will save you $15.00 on its purchase!
