How to update firmware for anyone who doesn't want to spend 15 mins researching (windows 10):

Download below
Newest 1.35 firmware .BIN download - https://www.rdforum.org/threads/108504/
Uniden R Series SW Download Tool (R7_20201013.zip file) Install the program, disregard the old firmware - https://www.uniden.info/download/index.cfm?s=R7
USB to UART Bridge Driver (if needed) https://www.silabs.com/developers...cp-drivers

Plug in the usb cable to your windows 10 pc. It should chime that a device was connected. Windows likely wont have a usb driver. Under "Device Manager" in windows, There will be a device called USB to UART Bridge and will likely be open with an icon stating no driver is installed. Update the driver by pointing it to the unzipped driver folder and it should install. Next run the program,it should automatically read the firmware (mine was 1.33). Click open under download file and point it to the 1.35 bin file and click start download at the bottom.
This is no easier or difficult to use than the R3. Both are excellent detectors, but the big difference is this R7 has the arrows. They aren't meant to be plug-and-play, so do yourself a favor and head over to Vortex Radar and read up on his configuration page to better understand all the settings.
https://www.vortexradar.com/2019/...-detector/
That's because patent for arrows expired.

R7.

I have an R3 and am getting the R7. I heard R7 may not be undetectable whereas R3 is. This matters if you live in VA or DC since radar detectors are "illegal" there. If a cop sees it, you will probably not get any slack on speeding. They will not confiscate it, however.

Get a Blendmount [blendmount.com] that fits your car's rear-view mirror and check out Vortex Radar's review [vortexradar.com] and settings set-up [vortexradar.com] page.

Please consider supporting Vortex Radar by using his Amazon link to add the R7 to your Amazon cart (on the right side of either two links under "BEST RADAR DETECTORS").

Vortex's Blendmount coupon code for 12% off is B33HVFD [prnt.sc]and my 12% off coupon code (if I convinced you) is L4QL6DW [prnt.sc]. If you are military (active duty, veterans, dependents), responders (police, fire, EMT), or medical (doctors, nurses, medical staff) you can get a 15% off coupon by verifying with VerifyPass [blendmount.com]

I prefer the hard-wire kit from Blendmount for the R3. I had mirror-taps in the past since I have a powered mirror. All you have to do is find the negative and positive wire positions (not sure if you can google your car model and find it, or if you will have to just try different combinations and see if it turns on the radar detector since you probably can't fit a voltage meter in the tiny holes with the wires already going in) The mirror-tap wires are fragile. Hard-wire will require you to plug into a switched or aka accessory fuse (as opposed to constant) in either your driver side or passenger side fuse box).
The Blendmount website warns against using the mirror tap against cars that have adaptive speed cruise control and automatic emergency braking. Are these real concerns with the tap affecting these safety systems, or is this just a general disclaimer from the manufacturer? Have people really encountered issues like this after installing the mirrortap?

Sounds like blanket 3rd party car mod warning in case of accident, but I have never heard of something like this before.

Quote from Mattacks :
First, instant on radar and lidar are two different devices. While most detectors are useless for lidar, lidar requires a line of sight and has to be decently straight in front. The shoulder or an overpass basically the only options. People overestimate it's use.

Instant on radar is a radar that can automatically turn itself on and off. This is really only affective against radar detectors if you are alone on the road. Otherwise any good detector will detect the trap.
Again, if LEO has targeted your speeding vehicle, whether it's radar or lidar, it's too late.

They don't PM Amazon. Why have a PM policy if you don't PM an authorized seller as Amazon

no its farking not. any radar detector under normal circumstances will give you 3+ seconds to get from 90 to 65 before the cop gets your speed or even sees your car.

he emailed back and said "We will price match anyone's price that is reasonable. We are not obligated to sell an item and lose money on it.

If Amazon has a better price buy it from Amazon. "

If you feel like messing with him ask for an Amazon PM. Why do you advertise PM if you dont honor it when you loose $$. WTH policy is that
