Description
Uniden’s R7 is a top of the line radar detector with a built-in GPS feature. With the R7, you can mark geographical points where you commonly encounter radar transmissions. These can be school zones, red-light cameras, and places where Police frequently monitor traffic. You can mark these points so the detector will announce “user mark ahead” when you approach them. Among other announcements, the voice notification feature lets you know when you are approaching a radar and what type of radar it is (red light, speed, etc. ).

The Uniden R7 has incredible range and accuracy it easily spots radar from far away and the directional arrows make it simple to locate the source. GPS lockouts, red-light, and speed camera alerts all work well. That said, you need to adjust the settings after setup. Out of the box, it’ll beep at nearly every traffic light or sensor, which gets annoying fast. Once you turn off unnecessary bands and set GPS lockouts for regular routes, it becomes much quieter and more reliable. After tuning it properly, it’s one of the best radar detectors out there just be ready to spend a few minutes customizing it.

First off delete Scotts scam review as he doesn't know what he's talking about!! Mounted in 2017 Golf R, received the R7 April 18 and have used since then and replaced a Escort Max 360 which I loved. I-5 in Fife Washington is getting hammered by WSP too slow everyone down to 50 and so far have had 5-6 bogeys every morning at 4am for 2 weeks. Scott I have been hit every morning by KA band by 3-6 hits by half a mile easy and no laser is being used by WSP in cars but motorcycle cops use laser almost all the time so watch for them, usually on the way home. Through the Fife area 1 mile before or after set cruise control to 50 and do not speed through this area, EVER!! In two weeks I have been paced from behind going North in this area twice and one cop had his radar on and got him really early with the rear radar as he nailed the truck behind me doing 70 coming up on me doing 65----close but I new he was back there so I was slowing from 75 from just a minute before. One day hit by Laser with R7 but luckily had adaptive cruise set at 65 and had no hit on detector but saw cop point gun at me and switch to others behind me so be careful with laser detection. KA about the same so far as Max 360 but K band is far superior with R7 and people will tell you no K band really in WA but so far 3 hits from WSP and one in Kent Wa with all cops with radar on full time and picked them up so far I thought all were Hondas or GMC, nope. Falsing so far is about same as Max 360 new software update helped a little on Hondas but trip to Oregon this weekend still picking them up but they need to be really close. Trip to Oregon on Thursday mostly quiet especially in Oregon, creepy did 200 miles no cops and even drove all the way around Mount Hood but nothing! No cops, nothing? Hit 120 once or twice maybe not saying I did but had fun and hope no hidden cameras like they use in Oregon but the locals speed quite a bit. Now on the way back to WA going N at about 7am just past Vancouver WA got a K band from the rear in and out with nobody behind for about 1 mile just a small pack that was following a pack I was in doing 75. First thought was a false from a car or something but detector didn't quit alerting and it was getting stronger so my spidey sense didn't feel right so I set cruise again to 70. Finally saw a car come through the pack from behind with led lights wasn't sure what it was and I was losing the pack I was in because I cut 5 mph just to be safe. Guess what a WSP dark grey Dodge went full K band at a mile back once his pack cleared and he went into the slow lane and hit the beans and caught me in a couple of seconds with detector screaming K band all the way and it was only set at 60% K band!! Wife was impressed the detector had him about 5 minutes before and we agreed the detector just paid for itself because earlier we were going quite a bit faster!!! Had one more rear encounter going N at Chehalis WA and picked it up again early with full on K band going into a 70mph zone to 60mph zone so after last encounter set cruise to 60. Guess what another silver dodge WSP doing about 80 from behind hunting for in front speeders, f --- jerks!! Once again wife was watching detector like a Hawk and was amazed how early the R7 was alerting us on K band. Sorry for long review but Scott You Are Wrong!! In two weeks the R7 probably saved me from a couple of tickets at just a bit over. Max 360 is really good and I like some of its features but its K band range doesn't come close to the R7, I think its over filtered, K band is still out there guys! Arrows are a must as I have had several detectors without them but I will never go back to no Arrows. The R7 switches from front to side to rear faster than the Max 360 but not a deal breaker but so far very impressed with R7!!! Need more time with the R7 but Max 360 currently has saved me over the last year at least 10 times but one ticket on Lidar that was my fault because I didn't react fast enough as it actually gave me a enough time but I was too busy ignoring it. Thanks to Vortex but be careful of band segmentation as I had several readings outside of segmentation on both bands and I don't want to go to court to argue these readings. I run wide on all K and KA bands just to be safe and the R7 still has great range. Lots of K and KA over the last Year so don't believe Scott the lazy cops use RADAR not Lidar!!! Oh and the County Cops coming at you in the oncoming lanes almost always have their RADAR on! Good luck and if you don't have a RADAR detector don't go over 5mph over speed limit or you will get a Ticket!!

If you're on the fence about this, let me tell you if you have a heavy foot, this pays for itself in a month. I also own the R3 which is also great in its own right. Zero false alarms. That's what sets the Uniden apart from cheaper detectors. The Cobra I had prior was beeping constantly. With the Uniden, if you hear the whistle, you can bet your ass there's a cop nearby, or at least a radar detection device. That being said, real world experience I get a half mile notice with clean line of sight, and a quarter mile in most situations. Plenty of time to hit the brakes in most cases. If the cop is driving towards you on the opposite side you might get an eighth mile. Still better than driving blind. I bought the mirror kit and wired this directly into the mirror compass on my Audi. Very clean install. Love it. 👌 Edit: I would also add for those complaining about the setup process, do yourself a favor and download the Uniden app to your laptop and plug it in. Setup took me 15 minutes. Easy to update the camera maps as well. Mine warns me of every traffic camera in my area.

I bought this detector because other reviews said quote; "False alert city." <--- This to me means a superior product because its more sensitive than other detectors. My research online and via reviews also confirms that this detector is the most sensitive on the market. Quiet Mode is amazing along with self-selecting sensitivity based on speed. THIS RADAR DETECTOR IS NOT USER-FRIENDLY!!! (I would underline this if I could) If you want something you just plug in and it works, this detector is not for you. Firmware updates require a laptop or PC to complete (But the process is simple.) Here are some GOOD instructions on how to update firmware for any of the R-models: Google search: "Uniden (Revision #) R7 firmware update." This will take you to Uniden's firmware download page. The only thing you want or need is the Windows/Mac installer (Whichever one you use) download and run from PC. Using the USB cable that comes with the unit, plug it in to the PC and to the radar detector. Run the installer. After installation, configure your radar detector settings. I would suggest letting the radar detector senitivity be set based on speed automatically and enable quiet drive with the limit set to 20 or 30mph depending on user-prefrences. Save and Exit You may now mount your radar detector and plug it in. Anyone complaining about "false alert city" did not configure their radar detector properly for their environment (And probably manually set it to LONG range) This is the quietest and most accurate radar detector ive ever owned. COBRA cant hold a candle to the quality this unit possesses. If you are looking for a Radar Detector that is ALSO user-friendly, I strongly recomend Escort. The premium you pay with them is for User-Friendlyness. (They have a REALLY simple software suite thats easy for the avg user to use and access.) My ONLY complaint is that this unit isnt user friendly and it didnt matter to me at all but might to others. Take the time, configure the product for the way you want it and itll pay dividends. It will NOT simply work the way you want it to out of the box. PS: Ive figured out the complaints people have about the false alerts. Smart cars with radar proximity sensors. My car has it. It uses 3-4 frequencies that the radar detector ALWAYS triggers on if there are cars or walls around. To fix this, making sure auto-mute is enabled, allow muting of KA band. There is a toggleable setting to ignore weak signals and this needs be enabled as well. After your next drive, your UNIDEN will automatically start ignoring the radar signals as they start to spam you and auto-mute them. I also want to note; This radar detector managed to detect a cop running active scanning while driving around 3 turns. Ive never seen a radar detector manage this feat. I detected him about a half mile away around 3 turns. Crazy good detection now that its configured properly. Changing my rating to 5/5. It takes some configuration but ive never used a better radar detector.

Best purchase I’ve made! I’m obsessed and refuse to travel anywhere without my detector now! It is so easy to use and catches all the speed radars from miles away. I really like the arrows to show which direction it’s coming from, and it’s extremely accurate! I’d highly recommend. I was actually surprised when it showed me camera detectors in intersections in different cities.

This R7 radar detector, so far, seems to work well. I have been using an R3 for several years and have been very pleased with it's performance, so opted to try out this new R7. I like the directional arrows, which is one of the main (if not only) reason for getting this unit. It does add to the value of knowing when you're being painted with a radar frequency. The price, in my opinion, is high and thus the 4 stars. Operationally the unit seems to work well. However, coming from the R3, there are some drawbacks that I've found. #1 - the size of the detector is almost ridiculous. It's just large and the front portion of it specifically is wider and at the very front end (which is the most annoying) is that its thickness is almost doubled. Makes for a very cumbersome looking unit. The additional space may be there for some design reason, but because of its shape, I doubt that is the case. It doesn't take advantage of the extra space with a larger display, nor have buttons on the front which would be more convenient. Because of its size, it is much more prone to shaking and wobbling around than the R3 - again, annoying. #2 - As just mentioned, the mute and mark buttons are on the left side. This makes them clunky and you have to squeeze the whole detector with your hand to press the buttons. Otherwise, you'll just push the detector to the side and off the mount. On the R3, they are on the front - a much better, simpler, easier, and one-finger design. #3 - And this applies to all radar detectors I've seen. Their mounts suck. Suction cups may work in a lab or in places where the weather hardly changes, but in most places the suction cups mounts just fail. You come back to the car and, oh that's nice - my expensive radar detector has fallen off the windshield and become damaged, or maybe damaged something else it fell on. Plus now it's more visible to those looking to steal. The pad mounts for dashes are also cumbersome, slide around, and in general just don't work well. ... So a big improvement needs to happen on this aspect of all radar detectors. I get around this by making a custom mount, which is out of the way and not attached to my mirror or windshield. #4 - For the price, give me a damn hard-wire kit. Forget the silly case that will be hardly used and give me a hard-wiring kit which would actually be very useful. If I were to un-mount the detector every time I got out of the vehicle, scrounged around for its case, unplugged it, put it in its case, then somehow find a place to store this case which is 4 times the size it needs to be and doesn't fit in most cars, I would have spent an additional 2-3 minutes each time (and the same on getting back in!), all while some criminally opportunistic person is watching me and wondering what I'm trying to hide. Overall it seems a good radar detector, but the new bulky design I dislike, the button locations are poor, and as mentioned, for the price give me a hard-wire kit. Adding after many years of use: The unit still works well (at least as far as I can tell) which is great. I was looking to get another one for another vehicle, but the price, after 6 years has gone up by nearly 35% which is quite disappointing as well as hard to justify with many newer variants out there now.

I’ve used the R7 for almost a year now. I’d like to answer some of the questions and complaints that people have about this in their low rated review because it’s clear they don’t take the time to learn about the firmware, the software, and how the device works. 1. I see plenty about false alarms on this. Now admittedly I do still have some false alerts, BUT I also only keep mine in highway mode because I’m almost always using the highway anyway. Now that doesn’t mean I always get a constant beep from the device. If you take the time to update the firmware and keep it updated, it uses GPS to eventually identify and auto mute those false alerts. I don’t even have to do anything except drive by them a few times and the device will mute them for me! 2. I’ve seen some complain about the sensitivity, which is kinda related to it being too noisy. The great thing about this radar detector is that on the computer using the software provided by the company, you can configure specific frequencies to ignore so it isn’t always going off next to outlet malls or stores or whatever. The amount of customization you can do on this thing is so granular, you can set it to be specifically for your area. 3. Too expensive? Alright let’s put it like this. You have a device that fits in the palm of your hand, that can alert you to potential police traps, let you know what direction it’s coming from, prioritize multiple detections based on the band type, and how strong the signal is, AND it pays for itself in just a couple of detections. Not to mention the customization you can do to it, the firmware with GPS locations that are updated by others who use the radar detector, and just how detailed you can get with your customizations. This radar detector has saved me more than a few times, and it’s got plenty of functionality to ensure that your drive is quiet when it needs to be, and noisy when there’s danger. If you don’t understand the technology you’re buying, don’t give it a negative review because of it.

WARNING: The R7 is not for newbies who does not understand how a radar detector works, police radar works and how microwave signals are being bounced and reflected. This is not like a point and shoot camera that works wonders out of the box. Out of the box, it will be chatty due to the fact that it has a front and rear horns. Before installing the R7 in your vehicle, you MUST update the firmware. VortexRadar on youtube will guide you on a step by step procedure using MAC or PC. The next step is to adjust sensitivity of K band to your liking. Why? This will reduce false alerts from automatic door openers. BSM (blind spot monitor) alerts from cars specially Pacificas, Mazda's, Honda's/Acura's, Jeep and etc. Start from 50% down to 30%. Even at 30%, it still is matching some of the top radar detector like Escorts as far as detection range is concern. You can also use the Quiet Ride feature that mutes K band signals below a threshold speed you choose from 10 mph to 90 mph. I use 55 mph setting for my quiet ride settings. If you use the default K band tone alert, you will get 2 muted beeps when a K band source is detected and has a threshold time before it alerts again with 2 muted beeps. Meaning, that if a signal dies down and a new one is detected within the threshold time, you will not hear those 2 muted beeps. Understand that having two horns in one package will be chattier. One reviewer has made a comment that the R3 is quieter in a way but not much The R7 is basically 2 R3's in one. Meaning that if you have 2 R3's facing the opposite direction, your alerts will be the same as an R7 except the R7 has arrows. Bottom line, you " have to set the K band setting's right to your liking " to have a pleasant driving experience. The R7 was built with many features to address your needs to accommodate a wide range of radar detector users. Play with your K band sensitivity settings and quiet ride features. You will be amazed on how this unit works. To add better visual alerts, set your display mode to Dark Mode. This keeps the screen blank and displays all the information you need once a source is detected. It also helps prevent display burnout. The R7 has also a feature that will announce the direction where the source is coming from , the band(X,K and KA) and frequency(only when Ka band is detected). Also turn TSF on. Helps decrease some false alerts. Also make sure K block is turned on. This blocks BSM alerts from older models Honda's/Acura's 2018 and below. Newer Honda's/Acura's will still alert the R7 since they are not under the K band frequency block. The R7 is one of the best radar detectors out there and has very good range in K and Ka band. You cannot have increase range with too much filtering to minimize false alerts. You just need to find the sweet spot that works well for you. If you are a newbie and wanted to learn, this may work well for you. 1/1/20 update: Raised my quiet ride settings to 90 mph. It's one of the quietest radar detector out there. Please note that raising quiet ride settings to 90 mph is not for newbies. Explore quiet ride.
