Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 works really good. My husband loves it. He uses it for his car all the time.

Best decision on buying this, I always speed and now I get notified in time to slow down and really simple to use! Drove to texas and most of the way was going 105 mph and this radar was always so accurate! Really recommend!

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.

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.

The performance and range is top quality and the low price is crazy to me I would recommend if your tryna avoid 12 on a budget

Absolutely love this thing it’s been a huge help best purchase by far

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.

It really impresses with its advanced range and accurate detection of radar signals. Overall, the Uniden R3 is a solid choice for those seeking reliable radar detection performance.

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.

Good radar does the job done Dected state trooper.

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.

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.

1,000% accurate and picks uo wverhthing from a while away on highway mode. The different tones and settings are very easy to change so u can make it perfect for you!

This seems to be a feature packed unit. However is simple and effective in use and in the month I have had it it’s saved me from at least three tickets.

Worked amazing and saved locations that were common hot spots

It works extremely good. At far distances. Also when I am approaching a recurring false alert, the system eventually mutes it by itself. So it has memory.

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 ran the 2 side by side for a week. I spent a few days making the R3 behave like the Redline, then compared the performance. The Redline will win if I turned it up but it's only useful in the Midwest with open roads. In the city or metro you have to moderate both detectors to a useable level. The big difference is the gps and ability to block and remember without having to use an app on my phone. With the right segmentation settings both of them false alarm rarely. But overall the R3 was quieter and detected a bit sooner with similar settings.

Love this radar detector. So easy to use no downloads - just plug in. All the radar detection types monitored. Love the chirp to get my attention.
