R3 EXTREME LONG RANGE Laser/Radar Detector, Record Shattering Performance, Built-in GPS w/Mute Memory, Voice Alerts, Red Light & Speed Camera Alerts, Multi-Color OLED Display, Black

I bought this knowing full well it wouldn't work in the UK, which it doesn't.. Well it does, it picks up X, K & KA bands very well but we're talking traffic lights, automatic doors etc.. And the GPS database for speed cameras and red light cameras obviously doesn't work because it's loaded with the USA database. You can, however, visit and register to join RDforum and receive the correct update files and UK gps database from there for a small fee. All very easy to do. Its now perfect!

Seems to work on gatso cameras. That's the fixed camera at side of the road. And does not go off if there's no camera in the gatso. Not had chance to test on a mobile speed camera van. I'd say watch videos on you tube.

What a waste of money it goes off after you have gone through the cameras

Picks up everything except speed cameras. Fixed, or in vans, neither result in a response from the device. Yet to be tested on hand held guns but I am not expecting much. In addition to its uselessness, the mute button on the cigarette plug (which is used a lot) has a habit of sticking which upsets the unit and indicates to me it is not great quality. I expected more from this product given its price. And would advise not to buy.

This doesn't work in UK.

dose not work in the uk and no support from the seller do not buy you can't get any support in the uk expensive plastic do not but

Went past 10 cameras didn't detect one, did pick up the detectors on the pedestrian crossing though.

Poor signal

I have only had this unit a short amount of time. Coming from 3 Valentine One detectors, I view this as a huge improvement and truly enjoy the features that make traveling more relaxing. The "MARK" idea is brilliant and coupled w/the GPS, I can now ignore those warnings. HOWEVER, I have turned-on the "VOICE" and have found that it is invaluable when used with the "MARK" feature: it warns you verbally that you set a MARK for this particular area and that radar may indeed be present. Genius!!!!! Set on "CITY" mode, I get much fewer alerts around town, esp. compared to the old Valentine ONE. Also, it is relatively small, as you can see from the attached pics. The small suction cup mount is holding up very well!!! Mounting the unit at the top of my windshield also provides me with increased warning distance. There are other features that I have not had the time to discover, but will do so.... Another thing, the printed manual is a real bonus, to say the least. It's in the Porsche Panamera S so I can refer to it at any time. Kudos to Uniden for doing this vs. only having the option to download it from the internet. Mounting it was not complicated: the suction cups went almost underneath the liner, stayed fast and allowed the clip to work normally. Next, because it did not position itself horizontally, like the Valentine ONE, I used very, very thin copper wire to attache it to the visor clip, using a tiny picture hanging hook. I used super glue for holding the clip to the unit (I tried Gorilla Glue, the original glue and that failed. With the super glue, it bonded instantly.) Another feature that I like is the beep & voice at start-up that labels K, Ka, Laser modes. Perfect. It IS a really sophisticated detector, to say the least. When I have to rotate the visor downward I know that it blocks the detector's rearward warning antenna, so I keep it up in its normal position 99% of the time. No worries. I highly recommend this unit and feel that I made a great purchase here on Amazon.

This has been an amazing radar detector so far. Very easy to install and lots of different menu options to adjust the radar to your liking. It has been very quite around town very very few false alerts I got my first real alert leaving school today and it did great as it went off immediately and saved me from a ticket in a school zone. This radar detector is well worth the investment and I couldn’t be happier. The only downside I found was the big suction cup mount did break as I was trying to install it, so I just used the small 2 cup which works just fine. Couldn’t be happier with this radar

Just to start this off I wanted to say that this is my first radar detector so I do not have any knowledge in comparison to other brands/models. With that being said, I have had a great experience in the 18 months I’ve owned this detector. It works very well, picking up both k & ka band for up to miles away on the freeways and a very generous distance during city driving. The laser feature also works very well and is a tone that quickly gets your attention. This device is also very user friendly/simple to use. I learned all of the features within the first week and let me tell you - the mute memory feature is a life saver with the constant K band interference you are bound to run into. I always have left my detector on Highway mode (I understand this is the most sensitive mode) and I can confidently say that this detector has saved me from multiple tickets (especially the sneaky speed vans/motorcycle cops in town). Also the build quality of this thing is no joke. Not a single button has began to wear out and everything feels just as solid as it did day 1. This is with it having been in my front windshield (exposed to both OR & AZ seasons) every day of ownership. It has fit well in multiple of my vehicles and the only draws I could possibly come up with is that occasionally I have to remount the suction cup due to changes in temperature overnight as well as some passengers having called it annoying (I’m sure they’d say the same about any radar detector). With that being said, I forget it’s there most of the time and it’s simply become a part of my alertness while driving. Great product with no issues thus far. I recommend this to all friends and family.

It was such an great detector. I decided to give it to my baby brother for his birthday cross country trip to keep him safe (even though he drives like a grandma). Worked amazing hits even red light cameras and speed cameras. The range was impressive too. Loud enough to pull your attention but not excessive. While I burned the screen due to leaving it up 24/7. The colors can be set to match with most dash colors. The window mount held up to multiple Carolina summers.

Overall this is a strong detector that performs its intended function well. However, there are a few things that you need to do in order to maximize its capabilities. The first and most nuanced is going through all of the settings and tailoring them to the area(s) you'll be driving in. This is a very technical step which will require research if you are inexperienced in using a detector (which I was...and maybe still am). You'll also need to mount the device properly, i.e. as high up on your windshield as possible. There is a noticeable difference between mounting it low on the windshield and higher up near the rear view mirror. If you want to mount it higher up (recommended), the "discreet" double-suction cup that is provided is nearly useless. Its grip is not strong at all and more importantly the vibrations from your vehicle will almost assuredly knock the device off the glass. Potentially my biggest gripe though is with the power cord. This is one of the most inefficient, antiquated electronic objects I have ever seen. For all the technology that is packed into the device itself, the fact that the power cord uses an old telephone jack-style connector is absolutely mind blowing. When I first purchased the detector, I obviously wanted to hide the device when my car was parked, so I had to disconnect it from the power cord. The problem with the cord is that its design is not intended for perpetual plugging and unplugging and, predictably, a piece of the connector broke off after only a month, creating a very unstable connection with the detector. I now have it wrapped in electric tape just to hold the cord in place, and even with that the connection is spotty at best; I find that I constantly have to fidget with it to keep the device on. Most shockingly, in the world of overpriced accessories that we live in, Uniden does not sell a replacement power cord. How this is possible, I have no idea. Two other complaints with its features: the "marking" system does not seem to function the way I think it should. I have marked several locations near stores with automatic doors and the device, while alerting me that a tagged location is approaching, still beeps like crazy as I pass by. Also, the max speed feature is useless. Unfortunately, the max speed alert trumps an actual detection alert, as I recently experienced while passing a cop (detection alert did not start until I dropped below my max speed). Thankfully the cop cut me a break, but this should have been avoided had the alerts been prioritized in a more logical order. Again, this is a fine device but you'll need to put in some effort to get your money's worth.
