This video has me sold on a R9. The fact it was just "tossed on" and worked awesome, was the deal maker. If installed not 100% perfect, it still has coverage.
@M_arn had a dealer do it. End of the month I'm getting together with some people for a test session. Hopefully no issues. Hear some rumblings here and there but it seems no one wants to talk about it. Lose sponsorship of the company or something? But that sucks for everyone using hard earned money for an expensive product. Again I don't know if there is issues until you test it.
Quite a long time ago, 10 years or so i had laser jammers installed on multiple cars I owned from LI. At that time they worked great and I had switched to ALP for my last car that had it. In the last 8 years or so I haven't bothered to install any laser jammers and to be honest up in the northeast I cannot even remember the last time I was hit with laser. It's almost like they entirely stopped using laser up here. Anyone know whats up with that
I'd be interested to see what someone from ALP has to say about this result. ALP has been the LONG documented jammer of choice for a long time, hands down. Unfortunate that they didn't have the latest and greatest setup as well. Their equipment was 5 yrs old with the old TX sensors, correct?
Yep. ALP talked about it on the forums. Luckily ALP has been tested many times with lots of configurations over the years. This is just one of many many tests.
So basically, this video could have been like 3mins long instead of 25mins to just talk about R9. 🤣🤣I’m kidding… It’s great to have folks that like doing these tests for us. Thanks again for sharing and thanks for the folks that helped out. Now I just have to sell my arms and legs to get the R9. (this part I’m not kidding).
Tell uniden to have the r8 connect to a laptop via Bluetooth for firmware for itself or the laser jammer. The laser jammer would be nice as a stand alone brain in engine compartment that only needs power and heads. Connect brain to r8 via Bluetooth only. No firewall breach issues no running more wires to r8 and having wires come out of both sides of unit is just poor design.
Question on the Escort system, saw there's a big gap there with the G76 DETC gun, can you shed some light on that? Is it just completely incapable of covering that particular gun? How common is that / any particular states that use that? Thanks!
do you maintain a spreadsheet that compares all the systems for ease of use, upgrades, ratings, etc? I have a cybertruck with a lot of flat surfaces and no way to use a removable detector so I need an installed system. Whats the bang for the buck ?
Curious to see results with a larger target like Escalade or similar would think you would have to use a dbl black tx f and r for alp set up and don’t think other manufacturers could accomplish a solid result using their systems. All seem fine for a vehicle such as an odyssey Have set up on e63s Amg and Macan turbo and one middle tx does the trick. In process of equipping a Tahoe and was waiting for vortex Florida report Game changer with a huge target front and rear Would love to install the integrated redline ci or even the uniden r9 just don’t have confidence in much larger vehicles with their choices Any feedback would be appreciated
Glitches to these devices are a issue so i think these issues shoudl be addressed so tje system can be bulletproof when approaching law enforcement and will not be detected correct me if i am wrong
I don’t know if they ever released the results of everyone else’s cars. We just finished testing today here in Seattle and have more tomorrow. We learned a lot and I’ll be sharing. :)
Because there’s WAY more to choosing a laser jammer than just what you see here. Jamming performance is obviously important, but basing your decision on one test is like saying all that matters in choosing a car is 0-60 times on one test track. There’s also how they handle reflections, history of updates, build quality, advanced features, and much more. The R9 is very impressive so far and I’m installing it in place of the ALP in my new car, but even still I think it’s still to early to say a newcomer is unilaterally better than something extensively tested and proven.
@@VortexRadar Thanks for the quick response! After a bit of research I found a set of the new VX5 shifters, do you know if anyone has tested compatibility with the standard Redline 360c? :D
I have it and it doesn’t even go off against certain radars. I’ve been picked by fixed radars installed on polls, laser radar by a hidden cop. I’ve tested Uniden R7 in front of a cop shooting at me (I spotted him and made a U-turn just to test) and it didn’t even go off. It inky picks KA bands.
I use an R7 and have been hit by laser. Laser is deadly, and the R7 offers no protection until it's too late. I'm going to use waze on a cross-country road trip this summer. It's a shame that no one uses CB radios anymore, as those were great back in the day.
As mentioned in the video, you can read the results if you prefer that method and don’t want my added context. Being rude about it is also optional and unnecessary. Thanks for your time.
This is a video about testing, not about product recommendations. I plan on doing a video about that after we get more test data in. This is the stuff that determines recommendations.
