    • Mama, I'm goin fast!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Outstanding unit. Picks up speed traps miles away accurately and provides ample time to react accordingly. Directional arrows are a nice touch, so you know which direction trouble is located in. Can be overly sensitive in dense urban areas, but has a GPS mute feature which allows you to mark and silence alerts in specific places. Pricey, but a solid investment if you like to drive fast. A must have accessory for any sports car. ... show more

    • This is a radar detector, not a police detector.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Two things to remember: not all police units run radar, and this isn't your dad's radar detector. Many detectors today do require some level of configuration, and knowing what is used in your state helps greatly. Vortex Radar has an awesome guide on how to set up your detector. As for the Uniden R8, this is by far the best detector I've owned yet. The long-range detection isn't exaggerated; it really does pick up radar from far away, and it's fast too. Except to get false alerts every now and then. I don't care what kind of radar detector you have; there will always be false alerts. Lucky, the Uniden does cut back on many of them. ... show more

    • Great Detector - RTAC app connectivity is sporadic
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Purchased this unit after seeing VortexRadar's in depth review and detailed product comparison. The detector itself works very well. It's loud enough to hear over the radio with the whistle sound plus the customization options are great. My only issue is with the RTAC app. When it's connected it works great. You can change about 95% of the settings on the detector via Bluetooth. This was much better than having to navigate through all the menus on the detector itself. The trouble is getting it connected to the app. Once you add it to your Bluetooth device list you would think that it would connect quickly once you launch the app but it is sporadic at best. So I love the detector but Uniden needs to fix the RTAC app connectivity issue. ... show more

    • Just buy this one!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I don’t even have words for this thing. Best money spent in a long time. Picks up cops from miles away. Even if they’re not using always on radar and laser, you’ll get a bleep. Incredibly accurate and tunable. It was picking up my own cars radar/lidar but you can adjust the sensitivity of each signal. WAY better than my valentine and whatever I have in my wife’s car. I even picked up a case for on my bike. By far the best radar detector I’ve ever owned or used. ... show more

    • Lives up to the YOUTUBE reviews - but better.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
The R8 is the 1st radar detector I've bought in about 10 years. The last being an Escort- that I believe was the first advertised undetectable radar detector. Driver STi, I think was the model name It was a GREAT detector for it's time, but over the years it became nearly unusable with all the false alarms it gave. Flash forward to this last week. It arrived on a Tuesday, it's Saturday morning now. 3 days of commuting to and from work in use. At the end of day 2 it had the GPS lockouts set. Perfectly. It's a 20 mile drive each way. About 4 miles are street traffic driving, the rest is interstate. Some YouTube reviews observed issues with the GPS lockouts feature. Maybe the firmware was updated for mine? IDK. But no issues with that whatsoever. Until I got the R8, I was - and still am- using the WAZE GPS navigation app.. WAZE is a fantastic app to notify drivers of road hazards and police presence in moderate to heavily trafficked streets and highways. But it's not that great in more remote areas or the wee morning hours for police alerts- or what if YOU are the 1at person to come across a freshly set radar trap? It's virtually useless then. That's where the R8 is worth it's weight 8n gold. UBIDEN engineered the R8 to have future Bluetooth connectivity to work with 3rd party app developers AND they are also working on a laser jammer add on device for the R8 as well.. Laser jammers aren't legal in all states. Do your homework on your area before you let that feature become a purchasing factor. In my area, X Band isn't used, so I turned that band off. I have it sweeping the entire K and Ka bands, including POP alerts. I keep it on the HIGHWAY mode. False alerts are very minimal and very shortlived. I suspect that the falses are coming from other cars using those bands for their own driver safety assistance features. There's filters for those band segments, but those alerts are weak and shortlived, I would rather have a hundred of those unobtrusive alerts than miss 1 real alert. I highly recommend watching the YouTube set up videos on the R8 and check out the recommended settings links that explain all the different settings use caaes to optimize your R8 experience. It really is a fantastic detector. I bought it through Amazon with the optional 3 year warranty. I don't expect problems with it, but you know the saying - Is rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Again, check out the YouTube reviews, they're spot on, but now with excellent GPS lockout performance, where that has apparently been an issue before. If you can afford it, get it. It's really all you need. Plug and play with a few minor tweaks, set it up once or twice and forget it. No app necessary. ... show more
