I think it is JBV1 that uses Waze with Android.
I am currently using a V1 Gen 1 with no bluetooth, going to upgrade to a V1 Gen 2. From the reviews I've read, the R7 and R8 haven't perfected auto lockouts whereas your phone can do a much better job relaying that info over to the V1.

Does anyone have a really good breakdown of how to remove the plastics on the rear view mirror for the wire tap? I installed my Uniden R8 with a blend mount but was unable to get my plastics off for the wiretap. It felt like I was going to break things if I pushed any further than I did.

If you try to take off the two halves without taking off the third piece, you'll have a very bad day. |

In my area, it's 99% laser. No point in having a radar/laser detector. These things are getting out dated when most are using laser.

Anyone install Custom-Installed Stealth Radar System?
I live in an area which they are illegal. But doing a custom installed system is possible. Done it before in my 911. |

In my current 2015 M4 Convertible, I have the Escort 9500ci (custom install) and its been good but Escort dropped Mac support for upgrading after it was installed.
That really irked me. Now for my new (on order) 2024 M4 Convertible, I'm torn between Redlines 360c and Uniden R8. The main reason i'm not conisdering Escort or Uniden's custom install option this time around, is i'm not wanting to plunk down between $4K - $6K (parts & labor). |

Cops around central FL use mostly KA band radar. Motorcycle cops use laser and for the first time I saw an OPD officer sitting in his cruiser using laser and not with a gun out the window, so not sure how that works. My R8 actually saved me from the cruiser using laser. I didn't think that was possible, it's mostly accepted that once your detector detects the laser, they already have you. Got lucky I guess.

@m3cs76 have you updated your redline 360c to latest firmware? Supposedly, the new firmware from a week or two ago, is supposed to greatly improve 360c performance, to perhaps beat the R8???

I didn't. I just finally sold the Redline about two week ago after it sitting on the shelf since I got the R8. I'm interested to know if it has improved or not. The two detectors are really close in performance, just a couple of minor nags separate them.

Supposedly the new firmware for 360c narrows the gap on responsiveness compared to R8. By how much, I don't know. The key experts, like Vortex, haven't ever shared (to my knowledge) such details to know exactly what is the difference in responsiveness. Are we talking microseconds, milliseconds, or seconds?

Agreed, but sadly there is no quantification of "not quite instant" the 360c is.

Anyone with an R7 deal with it rattling over bumpy surfaces? I didn't notice when I used the stock function mount because there was some give to that mount but when I mounted it to the mirror with a solid mount it got pretty annoying with the rattle. It sounded like something was loose inside when I would shake the unit itself off the mount, so I returned it and I'm getting a new one. Hoping the new one is quite.
