Customers are saying

Customers regard the R7 Radar Detector highly for its impressive range and accurate radar detection capabilities, praising its ease of use and the helpful directional arrows. However, some users experienced a high number of false alerts and found the device to be bulky and expensive. The K band detection, while effective for some, also proved problematic for others due to false positives.

    Had a V1 before this. The V1 was nice, but it never gets any updates. The R7 has way more features (including GPS lockouts) and they keep it updated with new firmware.

    UNIDEN R7 - Disappointed

    As a Mac owner, I have been totally unable to update my radar detector. Accordingly, I cannot get updated information on cameras. I can’t get the radar detector to turn on unless it is plugged into the car. That complicates configuring the device. I’ve searched various web sites and followed their recommendations without success. I also purchased a dash mount. In order to center the detector on the mount, it would be necessary to put the Velcro strip over the heat vents. Not a good idea. My negative recommendation is directed solely at Mac users.

    Just drove from NYC to LA. R7 gave good alerts. It is taking a bit of adjustment to get familiar with all the settings but alerts have plenty of warning of legitimate police presence.

    The arrow alert feature is nice but I rather stick with the R3. The false alerts on the R7 is horrible. I didn’t experience half of them mom the R3

    With the Uniden online firmware updates this is a high end unit. Highly recommend. Keep an eye out for Amazon pricing for match.

    Good range. But still to many BSM falses for the cost of the device. I did the latest uddate to help with the false signal and it was the same.

    I upgraded from the Uniden R3 to this. It's simply the best detector out there. It is worth every penny. Uniden has never let me down.
