Customer Ratings & Reviews

Within a day of picking this up and putting it in my car, I’ve picked up 3 speed traps from nearly half a mile away. I commute approximately 52 minutes one way everyday and was tired of just going the posted limit and relying on Waze. I had the R3 a few years back and loved it, this just takes it to a whole new level.

Legit the best radar r7 is basically the same as a r8 just r8 is more baller to have but the r7 on ja saved me so many times on the highway straight booking it if you want to feel less stressed get the r7 radar it’s not that expensive

R3 DSP Extreme long range radar detector / laser detector. Experience the unsurpassed range with the R3 radar detector. With the convenient GPS feature you can get Red light camera alerts, Mute memory false alerts, or mark location.

best of best out there hands down doesn’t disappoint if you like to speed i dint condone it tho

Perfect addition as a daily driver. The range is impressive and the arrows are a must. Highly recommend.

If youre looking for a radar to just throw up on your dash, this is not the one. Although this is a very capable radar detector. You just need to configure it to your preferences. Once you play around with it for a little bit, it’s easy to control. It is extremely accurate and has already helped me avoid multiple potential tickets. When used in conjunction with the Waze app, you are that much more invincible. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, so of course, continue to drive at safe speeds.

Works amazing, the wind shield mounts work perfectly. Very easy setup and can get you out of trouble.

I absolutely love this radar detector. I tend to have a leadfoot and have gotten caught several times so I wanted some thing to warn me if I was entering a police radar area. This detector lets me know over a mile away when a police radar is active. And as I get closer it increases its alerts so it is easy to tell the difference between an active alert or false alert, It is quite a bit more expensive than many of the radar detectors on the market however its accuracy and efficiency make it worth every penny. You can change the color of the screen, you can change the types of alerts, it can alert silently or with varied sounds, it has a GPS setting, it lets you know your speed. And these are just a few of the various settings this radar detector has. This is a very, very good machine. I have had it a year and I honestly believe this is the best on the market.

I recently purchased the Uniden R7 Radar Detector, and I have to say, it’s been a game changer for my driving experience! The performance is outstanding; it has excellent sensitivity and picks up radar signals from a good distance, giving me plenty of warning before I encounter any speed traps. The dual antenna design is impressive, providing accurate directional alerts, which is super helpful for knowing where the radar is coming from. The display is bright and easy to read, even in direct sunlight, and the customizable settings allow me to adjust it to my preferences. I also appreciate the GPS feature, which helps filter out false alerts from stationary sources, like automatic doors and traffic sensors. The voice alerts are clear, and I love that I can also connect it to my smartphone for added features like speed camera alerts and updates. Overall, the Uniden R7 Radar Detector offers top-notch performance and reliability. If you’re looking for a high-quality radar detector that really delivers, I highly recommend it!

The Uniden R-7 Radar Detector Rocks! So much better than my 3 yr old detector (Not Uniden). I ran both side by side a few days and the R7 consistently out performed my old detector. The R7 is twice as sensitive in picking up Ka band radars. Customizing the bands for sensitivity is a great feature and knocks out false alarms that had my old unit screaming. Very sharp display along with directional arrows indicating the radars direction is a big plus! Looking forward to many years of flawless operation. Highly recommend this to anyone serious about detecting radars at insane distances.

This radar detector is fantastic. A little customizing of the settings to hone in on what the police are using may be needed. I recommend the Vortex Radar forums for an idea of the proper settings for your area. I do get false positives on the K band every now and then, but that's fine. There are settings to alert only when going a specific speed and filters to ignore K band alerts coming from blind spot detection on nearby cars. Firmware updates are coming frequently. Don't forget to update your radar every now and then to keep it up to spec. After a few months of use, I have fine tuned my city and highway profiles to positively alert me to danger! It's expensive, but if you have a lead foot like me... it'll pay for itself.

Works very well. Detects everything. Very good product. saved me through lots of tickets

If you wants alerts from the next galaxy this unit is the one to get. I admit it feels pretty cheap and plastic but the range and alerts are second to none. I came to the R7 from a ValentineOne Gen1. It was a great detector but really noisy alerting to every door opener I drove by. The R7 does that too, from stores much farther away than the V1......but the R7 has GPS built in and the alert settings can be set to be quiet at slower speeds and you can mark problem locations to keep them quiet. My only complaint if there is one, the support and information about the firmware upgrades to the unit is very poor and Uniden makes lots of things besides Radar Detectors so I am not sure how much effort they want to put into it after the sell. If you need great range and great customizable alerts this unit is great!

I purchased this (R7) and was able to test it from my drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back. It probably saved me from one or two tickets as I had ample time to slow. The screen is easy to read and the information seems very accurate. In California, I think the law states one can not mount anything except a GPS device on the lower left corner of your windshield. Thus I purchased a sticky rubber mat to place on my dash that kept the detector from moving. I thought this might hinder the performance but it seems to work just fine. I tried the Escort Max 360c as well. Because the heat vents are on the bottom of that unit, I was afraid it might overheat on longer drives. I think the 360c gave fewer false alerts but the R7 is easier to read and it save me from two potential tickets which probably paid for the unit on the first day of use.

The sensitivity for KA is pretty darn good. The directional arrows are very accurate also and that was a main feature I was looking for with the upgrade. I have to say with the right setting it's a quiet detector, which is good. I don't think it's a case of too quiet and missing alerts. Not many blind spot detection false alerts with K left on with filtering and 30% on. I have to say the firmware updating loses a star due to the need to reset to factory settings and the need to set it up again. Not a major issue but at this price point it should be update and ready to go. Also there there should be wifi to update the firmware. Again, at this price point as it being up there as the most expensive detectors. The build quality is fine but it's not one I'd drop if you can avoid it. Buttons also could have been placed on the face on the right side for easy access. Again, a nitpick but feedback is the best for improvement suggestions. Without customer they don't exist. I think there are still other lower priced options that will serve many well, especially if you're not in an area with lots of threats. You have to take that into consideration as well, Your commute and is spending $600 worth it. One ticket can make it worth it.

Very good radar saved me from a few jams. Good distance

The Uniden R7 is a high-performance radar detector with excellent range, directional alerts, and advanced filtering. It’s ideal for serious drivers but may be pricey and complex for casual users.

I have had 4 radar detectors over the years, and I think this is one of my favorites. The settings are very in depth so it was a bit difficult to figure it out. Had to search some youtubes to learn it all and set it up. It is SUPER sensitive, and the arrows are great. When driving on a long open freeway, it is great. When driving locally, it beeps a LOT. I love the speed based feature where you can silence the unit when driving under a specified speed. If it didnt have that, I would not have kept this. I liked it so much, I bought 3 more for my other cars.

Love the R7, great sensitivity and the arrows are awesome for situational awareness. Only negative is location of the mute and dim buttons located on the side instead of the front of unit.

Love it! It works really well. I always know which direction they are coming from.
