Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best investment if you like to drive fast, sometimes it beeps for no reason but it still saved me so much money that I can’t really complain about it

For the price, it's a pretty good radar capraed to other top radars. Detection is pretty good. Long range.

This uniden has accurately alerted me to just about every police radar ive come close to. With 21,000 miles of highway use i can only say how well its performed. Its so sensitive to ka that most times i have that cop on my radar miles before i even see it! Love it and am buying another one today for my wifes car.

Very sensitive and lots of settings. Where there are known X/K band alerts (such as in front of big box stores) you can hit the mute button twice (about 1 second between presses) and tag the GPS location of the false alarm. In the future, the detector will auto-mute X and K (and not Ka or Laser) in that location. I also like that you can turn *off* the button backlights, and you can also black out the display completely at night. I do have occasional false laser alerts in direct sunlight.

I haven't had too much experience with radar detectors or jammers in general, but the time I've spent with the R3 has been nothing but great. It has excellent range and has already paid itself off twice. The only issue I have with it is the number of falses coming from Acura's and other cars' BSM systems. This, however, isn't unique to Uniden as almost every other radar detector has this problem.

This small piece of tech is not only a very good radar detector but it warns of speed cameras too and interacts with your GPS to do so. Few false alarm complete the attributes of a gadget that everyone needs in their cars. Oh, one speeding ticket pays for the device and then some.

Made a one-way trip across the country. Highway mode alerted me miles prior to actually seeing any speed trap. When it goes off within the next 5 minutes, you'll find out why it went off. Way better than my old cobra.

Works really good even tho it’s one of the old versions compared to the r7 and r8 in my opinion it’s better if you don’t wanna spend too much money on the uniden compared if you wanna spend a little more the new version gives you a directional arrow for the Ka band

This was my first Radar Detector, honestly don’t have any complaints, I’ve had it for a few months now and it’s saved my @$$ more times than I can count. Picks up state troops and sheriffs very well, small town cops you have less of a warning because their k band signal isn’t as strong.

Radar detector has great range but has a ton of false alarms. I do like the option of the mute button on the power cable. You get a lot of features at the price point.

This radar detector hasnt failed me yet, it picks up signals miles ahead. I'm never caught off guard! When its time to biy another unit, it will be the same brand. So if you are in the market for a radar detector that will keep you notified of potential hazards both in the area and miles ahead; then here it is...get you one!

It is a truly great unit for the price. I've had passengers tell me that the distance for detection of radars is better than their own, more expensive radar detector. The only minus is the lock out feature for stray radar signals needs to be improved as some times it forgets.

I own both an Escort Detector in my other vehicle and just recently purchased this for an additional vehicle, this is extremely reliable, has all the features you could ask for and multiple options as far as installing. Great value.

This the best radar detector I’ve owned. Reasonably priced. Much better than a different highly-advertised and much more expensive detector prone to many more false alarms which I returned to a different seller. This unit has good instructions. Easy to read and understand alarms. Minimal false alarms. Highly recommend!

Great product for the money. Was not the top of the line in price but has worked greatly for me. I normally drive 10 miles over speed limit but this does a great job with radar detection. Great for lower speed limit areas. Has alerted me several times when police are in the area using radar. Will not help with VASCAR

I really like this unit! It has saved me from numerous tickets and works extremely well! Very worth the money and installation price.

Great range, minimal false alerts and gps lockouts. Good quality and great features and settings

It works very good. It detects cops from far away and I have been saved from many tickets within a month of owning it.

This is the best value radar detector available today. It is in the middle as far as price and works great for every day driving. I have used the same model in another car for 3 years without issue and when it came time to replace an older Passport, I did not hesitate to purchase this unit again,

I have been a big fan and supporter of uniden. I own the R3, R7, and R8. For an entry level stand point and ultimate range the R3 is great. The negative is uniden is knonw to be a more noisy radar however this does improve with the R7, and R8. My R3 has had zero issues. If you are in the market and looking for an evtry level radar with great capabilities the R3 is simply the best
