REVIEW FAQ ADDITIONAL INFO
 

UNIDEN R8 REVIEW



The Uniden R8 is Uniden's latest dual arrow directional radar detector which provides directional information.

In our Uniden R8 review, we found the radar detector's performance is significantly improved making the Uniden R8 the most sensitive and longest range detector we've ever tested.

Having more than 16 times the capture distance of a police radar gun, the Uniden R8 provides performance often exceeding all other manufacturers' top performing radar detectors at considerably less money making it a very good value.

The Uniden R8 has the largest color display of any radar detector allowing it to display a wealth of information at the same time, including up to five radar encounters simultaneously, time of day, speed of travel, and direction of travel.

Uniden R8 accessories include a hardwire kit for those interested in eliminating the use of the Uniden R8's cigarette power adapter.

4 of 5 I should bought this sooner! August 6, 2024
Reviewer: Michael Paisis from Gainesville, GA United States  
Yes is great and it save me at least 10 times from traps since I installed in my truck. The only issue is that it still uses the cigarette lighter plug(12v plug) as power instead of USB-C which is the standard in all new cars. So I had to install a 12v plug via the OBDII plug that stays on all the time. and you need to remember to turn it on/off every time you enter/exit the vehicle which is a pain.

5 of 5 Best for the Lesst June 9, 2024
Reviewer: Samuel Montgomery from Cleburne, TX United States  
Best radar detector made (In my opinion). Not cheap. And nowhere can it be found for less than Radarbusters. Nuff said.
