Customer Ratings & Reviews

Recommed. Keeps you informed on positions of ted light cameras, speed traps, hidden or unseen law enforcement waiting to meet their quota! This unit is customizable and very useful. It picks up signals far ahead and gives you that advantage to check yourself before you get to their location.

Spot on!!! It works great for tell you heads up when they are ahead if you behind you or even close to where you are!!

Best unit i ever bought, works very well long distance, and in city false Alarms are thing of the past very impressive Radar detector

Used this and a Redenso Pro M side by side. Still need to dial this unit in as it had a few more falses than the Radenso that I've been tweaking on for a few years. Better range than the Radenso tho.

Recommend this radar detector, shows what direction and alerts at least what feels like 2-3 miles out!

This radar detector is excellent. This has saved my life more times than I can count (not a rule follower). My only complaint is the auto mute function, I love it when I am driving through town between all the stores, however it has muted a couple of police cars and when I try to unmute them, it just mutes again. So I turned that function off and have just had to deal with the noise in town.

Extremely high performer. I purchased another one it ended up missing after my wife took a trip probably left the door unlocked so I bought another one

amazing radar! long distance, all angles. very accurate and easy to operate

Amazing! Have had a valentine 1 and gen2. Have had the escort 360. This radar detector beats them hands down picks up over a mile and half has saved me several times and would recommend to anyone!

If like to get somewhere a little faster than the daily cruiser. You'll need some coverage, sincere someone will be looking out for you! This does well all round for a peace of mind. Exceptional range! A bit pricey! No over the air updates.

The most accurate rada i ever had...it works 360 degrees

Replaced Valentine V1 gen 1 (latest update). Testing side by side saw a big improvement! WAY less constant K falsing due BSM and other K devices. Within one week the R8 twice detected single long range Ka pulse and the V1 did not. Police had pulled over a car 1+ mile ahead. The Ka 99.9% guaranteed police "whistle" tone on the R8 gets your attention vs the V1 where you have to squint at the display due to same tone. V 1 26 software added Bluetooth. The auto mute memory is improved. Auto mute is not available the V1 since it has no GPS. Finally got tiered of waiting on Valentine's now non-existing customer loyalty upgrade. Have two units for 24 years with updates. They did me a favor. Now own a superior R8. Use Vortex Radar settings for imprive results.

I purchased this radar detector on May 13, 2023. I also own the R3 which is also a fantastic unit. I always put this baby up on my windshield and I have it configured with one Vortex Radar's .bin files. Ariel is the owner of that business and he has some very helpful information on there about pretty much every radar detector out there.

This device has saved me hundreds of dollars since i installed it in my vehicle. i drive hundreds of miles a week trust me its worth the money

Great product. Easy to use and it is very helpful when driving around and detects radar from a great distance.

This model does not have WiFi. But it’s not a deal breaker for me since I can just do firmware upgrades by connecting the radar detector to my laptop via usb. It pairs via Bluetooth very well to the R8 companion app. For recommended custom settings, check out the radar guy. Passport/valentine one use to be the best, now uniden is.

When it comes to the “best radar detector,” this one definitely makes the list. The Redline 360c is also a strong contender, but I can confidently say that while the Redline costs $100 more, this Uniden outperforms it by a wide margin. It also blows other radar detectors on the market out of the water.

Amazing unit. Worth the coin? You bet it is. Saved my bacon 20 minutes after leaving the store. I was heading into a little town square and it started going off with a slow beep that was getting faster and it was telling me "Front, KA band" and the frequency. A car behind me got frustrated with my speed matching leagal and he sped around me just in time to get the cops radar and attention. He got the ticket, not me. Lots of options, I suggest watching some youtube vids on how to set it up correctly,

Picks up siginal at a great distance from you, easy to read and understand display

Im really enjoying having this race has been great worth the price I would recommend
