  • 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

  • Almost TOO good!
Style: Laser Radar Detector
I recently upgraded from the R7 to the R8 (gave the R7 to my daughter, it's still an AMAZING detector). If anything, the R8 is almost TOO good! All the features I loved from the R7 are still here, or are improved. The auto mute memory for K band is a MUST have feature if you don't want your detector driving you CRAZY. And the signal arrows are also extremely useful for figuring out where cops tend to hide and run radar. So why TOO good? Well the R8 has even better range than the already incredible R7, so I get Ka band hits sometimes from 1-3 MILES away! I am still learning to trust the signal strength meter, because getting a Ka band hit, slowing down, and then reaching the source MINUTES later is impressive, but also means I slowed down WAY earlier than I had to! This detector is a BEAST! ... 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

  • 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

  • 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
