This works in getting your ticket dismissed more often if you follow a couple of steps. First, make sure you make your traffic stops is not a memorable one for the officer - keys on dash, sunglasses/hat off, hands on wheel, windows down, "good morning/afternoon/night officer... yes officer, no officer," etc... do not fight him/her on anything and just sign for the ticket and go about your day. 2 weeks before your court date - extend your ticket/push court date out (you can initially push it 3 months). 2 weeks before your new court date, CALL the courthouse and make up an excuse why you can't make it for your court date (surprise work trip, family member sick, etc...) The court clerk will ask you what's the next best date for you - try to push it out another 3 months. Now you're 6 months out from your initial court date - start working on your trial by dec. and make sure the court receives it 2 weeks before your court date. Now this extends the process by about another month, as now the judge will ask the officer to respond and will give him/her 30 days to do so. However, so much time has now passed that the cop won't care about sticking it to you/taking the time out of his/her busy day to write a response - you were not a dick, you were not memorable, and it's whatever. So most likely the judge will dismiss your ticket. If the judge does not dismiss and rules in favor of the officer if they did reply - then you have an option to ask for a trial de novo - an in person trial - and you and the officer both have to go in. Hopefully in that case, so much time has now passed that the officer will most likely not show up, and if he does, then judge will rule in their favor and you can ask for a reduced fine/traffic school to reduce the severity of whatever consequence you may face. Lots of info on this online. I've gotten 8 of mine dismissed and 5 of my friends/family members' tickets here in LA county. Good luck!

I actually only use my r8 when I'm on the open highway. The sheer volume of cars with blind spot monitoring trigger k band a lot. I have the filters all turned on, and I'm running the settings suggested on radar busters to quiet it down.
One of the coolest things is that it does work with photo radar, I had a couple of alerts driving somewhere I don't normally go the other day.
This is a great deal. I bought a refurbished unit on eBay a few months ago for $540 with a two year extended warranty.
Mine is hardwired in, with a remote in my tray by the gear shifter. Honestly I use highway radar for all of the muting anyway, in hindsight I wouldn't do the remote mute button.
Highway radar can be used to program the detector. It shows you a map with heat zones of recent enforcement with a risk score, picks up aircraft, and shows their flight path. It's not uncommon to see state police helicopter, Cesna, etc. There's an integration you can leverage to pull Waze data, make submissions, etc.
You definitely want to tune the radar detector to your location. The more you have "on" the slower the processing.

To add, laser jamming is much more costly but can be used (legally) in most places.
Quote talking about Cali laser jamming:
"When it comes to laser jammers, apart from California, they are banned in Colorado, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. Both devices are illegal for private and commercial cars in Virginia and Washington, DC."
