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 don't know if this is normal, but the default setting has Bluetooth off so I used the Uniden program from their website to turn it on and import the settings from Vortex Radar.It is MUCH easier to change the settings on a computer and then upload them to the detector than it is to fuss through the menus on the detector itself. I did purchase R8 Companion but did not get a chance to try that yet because the Bluetooth was off.
That said, there has been so many times i'll be speeding and it will alert me, i slow down or switch lanes and the car behind me or next to me keeps going and gets pulled over. Laser will always be a problem if you don't speed smart or have a jammer to help. Don't speed alone that is a HUGE mistake to be caught...Now with the supplement of waze it helps with that when cops like to hide and use a trigger to catch people with pop shots.
Thank you for contacting us. We truly apologize about the delay.
Please note, as the R8 Extreme Long Range Radar/Laser Detector is listed as a pre-order, it will be shipped out within the next 1-2 weeks and you will receive a confirmation email at that time.

I have a 2200 mile trip in a week and it's not looking like I will have this in time. They are getting a 1 star review from me and I am debating purchasing it again from them and returning the one that arrives last.
I will cancel the one that doesn't ship first.
We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the delay on your order.
As per our purchasing team, we can have the item available early next week. We will be able to ship your order within that week. A notification will be sent via email once your order is shipped.
Thank you for your patience and feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions. We appreciate your business.
Sincerely,

No ones convincing you to buy one. sheeh. if you don't speed, or speed but don't think radar detector is useful, then get out of the thread. tons of other crap to waste money on on this site.
Been a radar detector user since early 2000s.
Passport, X50, Uniden LRD950, and now a R7.
R7 with the international firmware has been a joy to use.
Detectors really have gotten less effective because of the blind spot monitors setting them off in cars and also the increase in usage of instant on radar and LIDAR.
But if you pair it with Waze and use some defensive driving skills (i.e. don't speed alone, don't speed at night, slow down over hills/curves..) it's a pretty good strategy to keep cops off your back.
I am not promoting reckless driving or some timing saving thing by speeding.
But some of us drive cars that are capable of hitting 180+ without effort and it's easy to find yourself doing 80-85 on open stretches of smooth road.
So no, no ones asking you to buy a 500 dollar detector to put in your corolla so you can go 5 over in a school zone. Geez.
