Review: UK useless - Don't buy this in the UK ,I contacted Uniden in the States after buying an R8W on desertcart US only to be told it is not intended for use in the UK the data bases are America and Canada only ,where most of the speed traps are radar based on K and Ka band Here in the UK laser is the most preferred weapon of revenue ,for which this or any other device is pretty much useless ,so if you want to risk a term in an HM prison the only effective tool is a laser jammer The British police are way ahead of the curve on traffic revenue enforcement
Review: Just buy it. If you think you need it, you probably do. After one year i reckon its saved me enough money to buy it again. It detects miles ahead and behind. Its very programmable too, so you can pick up only the channels you want to hear. Comes in a nice travel case for when you store it or take it down, say parking in public. Well worth the price, definitely recommend. Works better than the passports. Pros -picks up at long range -detects many freqs/channels -easy to use -comes with everything you need Cons -a bit expensive but worth it -12v plug button broke already, get hardwire kit.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***B on 17 January 2026*

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.
