    After doing much research, the unit in R8 is certainly the best supported radar detector out there. When you’re doing a lot of highway driving and paired with the app Waze you can drastically reduce your speeding liabilities. I am happy with the unit, except for the fact that there are a lot of false triggers on K band.

    Great product, works wonderful. Has already saved me a few tickets, so it has paid for itself. Only complaint is the window suction cup. I had to order a new one because it kept falling off of my windshield.

    Highly reccomend this radar detcetor. Coming from an Escort Max 360 I’ve been blown away with the range. The filtering isnt quite as good as escort, but when paired with the Highway Radar app on an android phone that has a proper profile installed with more blind spot monitoring syster filters applied its amazing. (Check the forums for profiles)
