I recently purchased the Uniden R8W, and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. This radar detector is packed with features that cater to both casual drivers and serious road enthusiasts. Firstly, the extreme long-range detection capabilities are impressive. I’ve noticed it picks up radar signals from quite a distance, giving me ample time to react. The 360° awareness feature provides complete coverage, which is essential for staying informed about all potential threats on the road. One of my favorite features is the directional arrows. They indicate where the signal is coming from, which helps me assess my surroundings better. The real-time voice alerts are also helpful because they keep my eyes on the road instead of forcing me to glance at the device constantly. The addition of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity is a game changer. It allows for easy updates and lets me connect the detector to my smartphone using the R/TACH app. With this app, I can access helpful features like real-time location data and community alerts for red light and speed cameras. It significantly enhances my awareness of potential hazards. The built-in GPS functionality is another standout feature. It not only helps in providing alerts for red light and speed cameras, but it also allows for the option to mark locations, which can be useful for remembering areas where I’ve encountered speed traps before. The design of the unit is sleek and modern, fitting nicely with my car's interior. The display is clear and intuitive, which makes it easy to navigate through the various settings and options. Overall, I highly recommend the Uniden R8W for anyone in the market for a reliable and feature-rich radar detector. It offers fantastic performance and the peace of mind that comes with advanced detection technology. Whether you're a frequent traveler or just drive occasionally, its capabilities provide excellent value for the investment.

This radar detector is a game-changer! It picks up signals early, giving me plenty of time to react. Super easy to install, and the alerts are clear without being annoying. Great value for the performance—definitely worth it for peace of mind on the road.

Great user interface. Uniden is a great company with great products but this radar detector didn’t pick up anything other than stationary speed cameras. I tracked over 400 miles with it. Passed multiple police vehicles. One was shooting the radar gun out his window. Zero alert. Sad. Very expensive. I did my research and adjusted the settings still nothing. Sad. I wanted it to work. Probably better off not speeding.

The Uniden R8w is the best radar detector I have ever used. The range is extremely long, and the arrows allow me to know what direction the radar signal is coming from. The new Uniden R-Tach app allows you to easily configure the settings and update firmware right from your phone. And with the new firmware it allows you to put in custom settings to block out literally every K band blind spot false from other cars. There is no better windshield mounted radar detector on the market. When you pair this detector with the Highway Radar Android app, Its virtually impossible to get caught speeding. Even when going up against instant on radar, it alerts you to ka band in just 0.2 seconds. You can press the brakes faster than the police officer can read your speed. The big suction cup mount included with it is a very secure and it doesn't bounce or shake when driving over bumps in the road. Also the speaker on the unit is very loud and can be heard even when listening to loud music. I drive over 50 miles every day to and from work. I think the speed limits are pathetically slow. 60 mph is the speed limit on the interstates where I live. Its stupid! I go 20-30 mph over the limit, and never once have I been caught. Forget about Escort, every one of their radar detectors have so many problems, and their service and firmware updates suck. If you want to drive with no limits, buy a Uniden radar detector!

In addition to great range and the WiFi (for firmware and database updates), the large screen and front facing dim/mute and mark buttons set this detector apart from the competition. Customizable settings, including band segmentation, screen displays and other customer preferences are easily set via the app, PC, or manually. The alert tones grab your attention quickly, giving plenty of response time. I've owned many detectors through the years and the R8w is by far my favorite!

The Bluetooth is great and the wireless connection is super easy to setup. Accuracy of the radar is excellent as well!

Until now I had a Beltronics RX 65 from 2008. I can say that Uniden is more sensitive, it gets a lot of false alarms but you can mute them. The bad part is the display. When the sunshine hits, you can't see what is on display. I think that I will buy a mirror mount to put the detector in a place where sunshine gets a little less than my actual place (windshield and rest on dashboard) On Beltronics didn't have this problem. It saves you the sound.
