Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been researching which radar detector to buy for weeks and 90% of all websites rated this #1. I received it and the first thing I did was verify it had the latest firmware and red light database. I then checked the settings against Vortex Radar site https://www.vortexradar.com/2017/06/how-to-program-and-set-up-your-uniden-r1-and-r3/ to configure it. You can fine tune for your own liking. I have to say that this radar detector has phenomenal range compared to my older Bel GX65. The only con that I have with the Uniden R3 is the max sound level setting. I like it to be very loud as I usually have my stereo up and this radar detector only goes to level 6 in volume compared to my older Bel detector that went to level 10. Read the reviews yourself but you will not be disappointed with the Uniden R3.

I have used this Radar Detector on several long trips. It has long distance pickup and has super features. It may have even saved me a ticket or two along the way. The only thing missing is arrows to show the driver from which direction the source signal is coming from. Best Buy Rocks when it comes to product selection and price!

This device is one of the most customizable and accurate detectors I have ever used. The GPS mark options and Signal and Speed cams are 99.5% accurate. I put 60k miles on my truck in 6 months and this was probably the single most best investment I could have made to keep me out of trouble. I would highly recommend this product to ANYONE.

Lot of bang for the buck with the R3. No problem with picking up radar and plenty of time to slow your roll. I do miss the arrows of the V1 at times, but more out of the box functionality and longer range with R3 offsets it. Just finishing up a 1500 mile vacation trip and worked very well. A little chirpy at times with some automaker's BSM systems.

My first radar detector, super long range, it’s detected bogies well beyond my line of sight and in heavily wooded areas here in North Carolina. I would recommend this to anyone. Easy to use and keeps left foot & my wallet happy.

This item really does work. Very satisfied with my purchase

This unit is very likely the best unit available in its price range. It's sensitivity is awesome and has already saved me a DPS ticket. Picks up TX DPS Ka from enough distance to slow down. I had been using escorts, but the last two units reliability was the reason for the change.

Used it for a long 3.5 hour trip on highways and city roads. I can say with confidence that this detector works great and was able to find the Smokey’s early in advance. I did trade this R3 in for the R7 because I wanted to have arrows letting me know the direction of the radar. If that is not important to you, then go for the R3 version for the price.

Great radar for a price cheaper than the r7 or r8. Definitely a little expensive but it works perfect for all red light cameras and everything else!

Works great! Just as described. No issues and had this for a while now.

I don't usually rate things but I will on this item. This is a really good detector, I got it after I started traveling again for work again. It has good range, is easy to use and program once you learn the settings. It has given me plenty of warning prior to encountering any police vehicles. Only two drawbacks, one is that the suction mount will not work on a dash, it holds for a few days then releases. The second is that it does not technically have a 360 detection range with an rear indicator.

Works exactly as we needed it to, gives a large distance detection perfect for road tripping, commuting, or having fun on a Friday night. Easy to set up, and the mute memory is convenient for daily use!

I bought this for a long distance trip and it worked flawlessly. It even has known "speed trap" locations updated seemingly daily. Downfall, if there is a dollar general store anywhere close to you, it will go off and will stay engaged until store is passed.

Amazing product, havent gotten a ticket ever since i purchased it

Great detector! Long range awareness and clear instructions for programming. Updates vis internet app.

I was able to take this on a couple of trips. It definitely picked up a few cops before from quite a distance. This seems to be well worth it so far.

Replaced an older escort.I couldn’t deal with the false alerts from blind spot monitors on the newer cars. The R3 filters out 99% of the crap while still providing great protection from real radar threats. If you need front and rear arrows get the R7 but for the money you cant beat the R3!

I wanted something that wouldn’t break the bank and the uniden r3 delivered. I don’t get a lot of false alerts and the range is good. I usually get a few miles notice so that I have plenty of time to adjust speed

My radar was at first difficult. It had different wave sounds, but than i got use to using it. The item itself is easy to install. Fits on my windshield and the cord stretches. I purchased two of them for of my vehicles.

Best purchase ever made for my car! Always accurate and has a long range. If you need a radar, this should be your first option!
