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

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.

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.

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.

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

Great Product- Works well- One problem as compared to R4. R3 has the 12 volt plugin on the left side vs on the R4 it is on the Right side. I had the unit come loose from the window mounted at the drivers side and broke the "cab 5 type of plug in" I called and CS sent me a new one. The fix other than a R4 ; is to take the window bracket off and run the plugin wire back inside the bend in the holder. and in the middle is space in the bed and use a very small tie wrap to put a stop on the line. This works well to take the pressure off the unit plug in. Unit works great and seems to be as good as my R4 except for a few extras. There are several utubes that go into detail on how to set the units up for your state for the various radars. The potential problems is they are so sensitive the police may be a long way off and you do not know where they are one of the great set up is you can change the sounds and distance on all the different radars, cameras and such

Works as advertised. I’ve only had mine a week and it’s already saved me a couple times. Amazing range and warning time and not many false alarms.

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.
