  • 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

  • Pricey...but will save your hide in the long run!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
Yep. It's expensive. But WELL worth its weight in platinum! Saved my heavy-footed hide many time. Love the directional announcement that lets me know where the signal is coming from. Also love the GPS feature which seems to be able to locate K and KA bands even in mountainous and hilly areas. It's ability to locate signals very far away is impressive. I have three of these great devices and will continue to keep UNIDEN as my provider for radar detectors. ... show more

  • Better than the MAX360
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I have been driving with the R8 and an Escort MAX360 next to each other on the windshield. Considering the gap in price between the two, the gap in performance is notably greater. The R8 has been going off about 5 seconds before the 360 detects anything. It also updates significantly faster and is way more accurate about my current speed. When I leave my car parked, and with the heat in my area, it’s been able to stay attached to my windshield while the 360 falls off from the heat inside the car. ... show more

  • Uniden R8 Radar Detector - Love It!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
The Uniden R8 is an awesome radar detector. I have been running Uniden detectors for many years and was waiting to get this one when the price was right. The R8 has not failed to impress me. It has great detection and super long range, the directional arrows are the best. Really nice to be able to see the direction the threat is coming from. Although I'll be changing the mounting method, the included suction cup is super sticky and holds extremely well. I also really like the larger display and all of the configuration options. The only drawback to this detector is that it is a little bit bigger than most (not a deal breaker), but that is to be expected as it has the larger screen and more importantly it has a head facing front and rear to able to tell where the radar is coming from. ... show more

  • REAL DEAL
Style: Laser Radar Detector
This is the best radar detector I have ever used and own. Built in Bluetooth for pairing with a phone. Arrived updated to the latest software. If you don't have a computer, you can't update it so keep that in mind.

  • Radar Detector Missing Parts/Missing Support
Style: Laser Radar Detector
The web description indicates it comes with velcro tape for mounting. All the reviews I read (outside of Amazon) indicate this as well. THERE IS NO VELCRO TAPE FOR MOUNTING. Uniden website has no link to getting missing parts? Amazon support is NOT. The chat bot tells me to return it. A $700 unit is being returned either because the factory can't include all the parts. I could find velcro tape but for the price this should be a complete unit. All combined this makes me wary of Uniden. Going to look at the Escort MAX 360c MKII detector instead. ... show more

  • Extreme Long-Range is correct
Style: Laser Radar Detector + Hardwire Kit
The R8 has the longest range of any radar detector I have ever used. It picks up Ka band at twice the range of my older Passport. It has GPS to auto mute fixed radar. I would rate the Passport better at auto mute. Advanced options can be set by a USB cable to a Windows PC. If you don't have a laptop I recommend a 12v power supply of some sort in order to power it while connected it to a desktop PC. Overall I'm very impressed. ... show more
