  • Money saver
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Quality product, which was made in Korea. If you adjust it properly, it doesn’t make even 1 false alert, high range, perfect functionality and ergonomic design. Ive been using it for about 6 months, it worth every dollar.

  • These have come a long way
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I've been using detector units since the 1980's and wow the Uniden R8 is amazing. Awesome sensitivity and full ability to customize each band and setting either on the unit or better yet on the PC with the Uniden app. Really you can customize and adjust everything down to the colors and layout. Having 2 antennas is worth the extra cost. I didn't think I needed it, but I'm glad I got it. This detector integrates seamlessly into the highway one app as well via bluetooth and I can still play my music. GPS is useful since you can block out alarms below a specified speed as well as mute the location of a roadside radar speed display for example. Great stuff. ... show more

  • Outstanding Performance and Customization.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
This detector is high quality, has great performance and allows a lot of customization to dial it in best for your use case. My only gripe would be the mute memory stopped working properly for my normal commute after I took a 1,000 mile road trip. This is a known issue however, that should get fixed via software update, which you have to do manually by plugging it into your computer. However, after deleting the mute memory in the spots where it wasn’t working and re-adding them, it’s working well again. I especially like that there’s a 3rd party R8 companion app you can add to you smartphone for only $10 so you can more easily change settings from your phone. The app can also add more advanced false alert filtering and “Spot Locks” which are like Auto Mute Memory locations but overcome the memory glitch in the detector because they’re managed by the app. If you turn the volume of the detector off and run audio through the app, then most audio alerts should he real threats instead of the other way around, which keeps you sensitized to chirps. The only thing this detector want do much for is Laser detectors because by the time that narrow beam hits you it’s too late. The best protection for laser is a jammer. The best on the market is the ALP laser jammer and the Uniden R9 laser jammer, but the latter requires the Uniden R9 detector system instead of the R8. If you don’t want to shell out up to $2k for a legit laser jammer, then just keep a car or two in front of you. If the laser is far enough away, the beam will mostly hit them but can spread enough for you detector to detect. ... show more

  • Worth the price.
Style: Laser Radar Detector
This review is for the UNIDEN R8 radar laser detector. I have only had it for a few days. I read reviews on it falling off the windshiled. Mine came with 2 mounts. One of the mounts does look flimsy. It looks like my expensive unit will fall off if i use it. It did come with another mount that looks like I would have trouble removing it. I highly doubt this mount will fall off. It has a button so it can clip on and off the mount with ease. I'll problaby buy another of those mounts for my other car. So I used it to go to work. This thing was going off the whole entire time. Some people say you can tweak it. I will look into that later. For now I never read the instructions I just threw it on the wind shield. On day 3 the device memorized the false alarms. It still lets you know there is a frequency being detected but it grayes it out and no sound. So I was cruising to work the thing was quiet. All of a sudden it goes off I slow down. Im mad there is nothing. I want to return it. Then all of a sudden I see a hidden P car trying to catch speeders. On that road the fine is 350. I would have gotten caught for sure. So I already see it as 350 off. Like I said I never read the manual it was plug and play. It learned what was fake and it alerted me to what was real. Another feature I like is it tells you where the radar is. It was beeping showing ahead I never saw anything I just wanted to return it. Then it said it was on my left side. I looked and OMG on my left side behinid the barrels was an SUV just waiting to catch me. I also like that it shows your speed in digital format. My car has a needle speedometer. I dont look at that anymore. I just look at the R8. Its right on and accurate. This thing is pricey. In its defence I just took it out of the box and plugged it in. Like things should be. So yes i'm willing to pay a premium for something that simply works out of the box. Reviews did say that the LCD screen dies out so I bought the insurance just in case. In comes with a thin sleeve to protect it as well as a sturdy case. For now its 5 stars. I bought a unit before from another brand that required conection to my phone access to my contacts and gps and the whole nine yards. My car looked like a cockpit of an F16 i could not see anything out of the windshield. Im not sure if this thing has an app. I dont want an app and you do not need one. Plug and play its that simple. Just be warned the thing is a cry baby for the first few days as it learns what is real and what isnt. ... show more

  • Superior range
Style: Laser Radar Detector
First off.. The range of the R8 is insane. I have the Escort Max 3, Escort max360 MKii and the R4. Have run all of them against the R8. The R4 is just as good as the R8 as far as response and range. The Max360 is not as quick and does not have the range of the Uniden's. Still a solid radar detector. The Escort is a little better on the filtering by your locations you are frequent to encounter that are not real threats. The companion apps for the R4 and R8 are very nice. You can also play the alerts thru your radio speakers if needed. I have picked up Ka bands from LEO from as far as 2.5 miles from the front antenna and over a 1.5 on the rear antenna. Terrain little hilly but flat also. I would trust any of them on str8 a ways. If I was to be in a real hilly and curvy area traveling I would use the R8 and or R4. The directional arrows on the R8 is really the main difference from the R4 except I feel the R8 has just a tad more range sometimes compared to the R4. I would recommend the R4 and R8. ... show more
