Deal Details
Best Buy has Uniden R7 GPS Extreme Long-Range Laser/Radar Detector for $419.99. Shipping is free.

Thanks to Community Member N3RD_01 for finding this deal.

About these items:
  • The Uniden R7 is a top-of-the-line extreme long-range radar detector. With built-in GPS, you can mark points where you may typically encounter radar alerts. Set alerts to notify you of speed zones, speed traps, construction zones, school zones, and other traffic issues as you approach. Once you mark a point, the R7 will announce "user-mark ahead" as you near the saved geo point. The R7's voice notification lets users know what type of radar it is detecting (speed, red light, etc.)
  • Perfect just got better. The R8 is Uniden's flagship laser radar detector. It utilizes proprietary Uniden technology and provides industry-leading radar detection. Drivers will appreciate the R8's dual antennas for 360° protection, with visual arrows and voice alerts that notify the driver of the radar threat direction.
  • The Uniden R8 radar detector comes with dual low-noise amplifiers that provide an increased range of detection. It is Spectra Elite undetectable, so users can drive on the road with confidence. Moreover, users get free updates to the radar detector firmware ensuring that their R8 is always up to date.
  • "Factory certified" products are discounted products that may include damaged packaging, open box, returned, or other "not new" situations. All "Factory Certified" products are professionally inspected, tested, and certified to operate at Uniden standards. These products may have slight signs of wear and tear, such as scratches, dents, or chips which do not affect usability or performance. All accessories are included. These products come with a 90-day warranty. All sales are final.

No comment on the price. But if you spring for an R7, look into the excellent firmware mod by user mithheru on rdforum.org. Incredible feature set that exceeds even the R8. The R8 does have better hardware, though.

I've had much better luck relying on the kindness of strangers. Google Maps and Waze are pretty damn good about crowd-sourcing warnings of radar-wielding police on freeways.

It's an investment. Buying this saves tickets which go to fill municipal quotas

Definitely do what was mentioned above. The R7 with the firmware upgrade above is the goat.

Cops enforce traffic violations anymore? Not where I live. The number of red light runners is absurd. I was hit by one last year. Many times these things lead to life and death situations.

Are there any reputable brands that have rechargeable units? I hate having the power cord hanging down and don't know anyone (that I trust) who can hide the cable.

Maybe do a mirror power tap?

How does this compare to the ValentineOne? Mine died a few years ago and I refuse to pay their exorbitant prices.

R7/R8 regularly win all H2H tests even against Escort and Valentine. Agree with most above, good radar detector, Waze and situational awareness and you should be good.
