I purchased the Uniden R3 because the advertising led me to believe that the new circuitry design would eliminate false signals coming from newer cars with crash avoidance systems. The R3 does not eliminate these false warnings. I called Uniden thinking that I must be in the wrong mode or set-up. I was told that I was not in the wrong mode. The R3 only eliminates false warnings that you pass every day and it will remember them. If you want a detector that will detect a signal ( any signal ) from a mile or more away this is the detector for you but if you want one that will also eliminate the non speed trap signals the R3 is worthless and Uniden's attitude is Sorry

The possible "hidden cost". The fact that is is a Microsoft Windows only device if you want to keep the firm ware up to date. If you have a Mac, you must invest in Parallels for Mac at a cost of $70 and Windows 10 for a cost of $120. Then you must have some knowledge of how to Partition your Mac and install the software. If you are someone technical, your are ok, maybe. I have Parallels and Windows 10. I spent 2 to 3 hours and 3 calls to Uniden and still could not, with their help, get the new firmware installed. No update, bad device...... It goes back to BB today. I will accept the responsibility of failing to get the firmware installed, but there is still the miss information on Uniden's part about this being a Microsoft Windows only device.......... It doesn't even tell you that you need to purchase a USB cable not included.

I just bought this and took a trip from New Orleans to Raleigh and back. After passing approximately 25-30 cops, some clearly set up with radar, and several signs where it shows your speed, this radar detector detected exactly...ZERO. Not one. It was good at picking up automatic door openers at businesses though.

This radar is not catching any signal even close to my vehicle. Wastage of money.
