    This detector has excellent range and build quality. After a few weeks, most of the false alerts on my route are gps marked. I feel safer and more confident on my commute. Excited for the possibility of a laser defense upgrade in the future.

     I was expecting a top notch, radar detector, and that is exactly what I received. This thing picks up radar’s from downtown. I mean this guys got some serious range. If that’s what you’re looking for that’s what you’ll get.

    Works very well almost to well, it can pick up a cop miles away on flat ground. I was on the fence about getting the r8 but it’s worth the money

    I used to have the escort max 360 that was fully integrated into my c63. The r8 is literally 1/8 of the cost of that system and more than does the job. Saved me from a bunch of tickets already and I’m about to buy another!

    Saved me several tickets, and makes driving so much more comfortable knowing you have a leg up. They get to hide in corners and turn off the lights, you get to shine a light on them. Level playing field.
