## Overview

The UNIDEN R8 is a cutting-edge radar and laser detector featuring dual antennas for front and rear detection with directional arrows, built-in GPS for real-time alerts, and voice notifications. It offers advanced false alert filtering, a large multi-color OLED display, and preloaded red light and speed camera alerts with free updates, making it an essential tool for professional drivers seeking unmatched awareness and peace of mind on the road.

## Description

The R8 is an all new platform with unsurpassed range and sensitivity. It's Dual Antenna allows the R8 to detect threats from all four directions, with voice alerts for the direction of the threat. It even shows the band and signal strength for each. Perfect just got better!

Review: GET IT! - Great radar detector. Everything on it is automatic. Works great, and comes set up with different sounds for bands. I was afraid I wouldn't hear the Ka band alert when I'm playing music loud, but it's not an issue, the alert stands out!!
Review: Best of the best (with one caveat) - Arguably the best detector on the market. The R8 is Uniden's top-of-the-line detector, it has very long range, has directional arrows, and has many customizations to help weed out false alerts. Bluetooth makes it easy to change settings via phone app. Be warned, the marketing material says this unit is not detectable by police using the Spectre I and IV radar detector detectors (RDDs), but real-world testing shows that the Spectre III and Elite RDDs can sometimes detect the R8 at close range. I'd go with the Escort Redline 360c or Valentine V1G2 if you need 100% stealth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is eastside trading considered a uniden dealer**
A: As long as you keep a copy of your sales receipt/order confirmation with the date of purchase and where it was purchased from- Uniden will honor the 1 year warranty.

**Q: This compatible with the older radar detector hardwire kit?**
A: Yes it is.

**Q: Got hit by what i believe was a lidar/laser, “lf16754” and it never alerted. is there a setting that i might have changed that caused it to not sound?**
A: While I believe it's possible to turn off the Laswer alerting, I'd be willing to bet it didn't see the laser hit you. The clear plastic piece sticking out of the top of the detector is what's used to report laser and it requires line of sight or a very strong bounce to accurately detect. 

I haven't seen it tested explicitly, but the location where you mount the R8 will greatly affect the laser reporting. Too low or too high on the windshield might drastically drop the sensor's rear visibility. 

All that said, because laser determines your speed in about 1/3 of a second, it would be unlikely for you to avoid any speeding ticket that would come from an R8 laser report

**Q: Do it work with the waze app?**
A: It does not have the capability of connecting to the Waze app.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but so is a speeding ticket
*by G***G on January 9, 2026*

K band I noticed picks up alot of the signs that show your speed on the side of the road and lot of other false alerts. I turned K band down to lowest setting which is 30% I think which helps but there still is false alerts, I wouldn't turn K band off completely just so you're not caught lacking ever but whenever I hear KA band that's when I lock in cause usually its pretty good at picking it up. Definitely a good radar but definitely pricey as well, I bought it on sale for $650 but I would recommend it.
