Customers are saying

Customers find value in the R3 DSP Long Range Radar and Laser Detector, particularly praising its impressive range and overall performance, which is comparable to higher-end models. Users appreciate its radar detection capabilities, accuracy, ease of use, and the inclusion of GPS for camera updates. While some mention false alarms and suggest turning off K band, the detector's size is considered reasonable.

    Questionable quality for the money

    I figured I was getting a high end detector for the money I spent, but after three months the audio went out. No noise alert whatsoever despite what volume setting I had it on. I contacted Uniden and I had to PAY to ship it to them for them to repair it. After about three weeks I got it back from Uniden and the volume is still working for now. Also the cigarette plug in VERY VERY touchy. You barely bump it and it reboots of looses power and powers down. Not good when you don't realize it and you're going down the road over the speed limit!!!

    I will be returning this radar detector. Drive a 2,000 using this detector, all it did was give me false K band alerts. Very annoying

    Wanted a new radar detector after having Valentine one for over 15 years. Reviews have been mixed but wow... drove it 1600 miles on a road trip over 3 days and the dang thing chirped at everything.... even on the highway through Kansas with nothing around. So irritating, turned it off towards the end of the trip. Returned it promptly.

    I've owed this radar for 4 months now and tried to fall in love it but can't. Simply because its not as good as the old escort i sold to buy this. don't believe all this paid reviews you read online for this radar. range is is not only not great its not good at all. Sometimes ill get a KA warning when the cruiser is about 200 ft away, which is not enough time to slow down luckily i wasn't speeding

    Extremely poor customer service by Uniden representative on phone. Told me I didn’t buy directly from Uniden, that I bought from retailer who bought from distributor, that my problem is between distributor and retailer and not Uniden. I immediately returned the two units I bought. Will not buy any Uniden Products again. Should be zero star rating.
