The R8 Companion™ app is a sophisticated tool that maximizes the functionality of your R8 radar detector, enhancing your driving experience in the process. Its intelligent alerts and advanced muting capabilities make it a comprehensive solution for getting the most out of your R8.

Building on the success of the V1 Companion™ app, which is available separately for owners of the Valentine One radar locator, the R8 Companion™ app incorporates years of optimization and features.

One impressive feature of the R8 Companion™ app is its enhanced GPS location-based "false muting" through SpotLocks™. With this app, you can rest assured knowing that all future updates will be available free of charge to purchasers of R8 Companion™.

The alerting and muting systems of R8 Companion™ are fully optimized for the R8 platform. The intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals keep you well-informed and aware of your surroundings.

Please note that to function correctly, R8 Companion™ requires a Uniden R8 radar detector with US Version 127 firmware.

R8 Companion™ Full Feature List:

  • SpotLocks™: Location-based false silencing made easy. Activate the intelligent location-based learning feature and let R8 Companion™ handle the rest. Alternatively, you can manually lock or unlock locations from the main alert screen.
  • Seamless integration with your R8's built-in "auto mute memory" locations. Any changes you make to locations on the app will be applied to your R8 simultaneously.
  • Option to play detector tones within the app.
  • "Proximity" meter: A better representation of the signal source using high-resolution signal strength and direction information provided by the detector.
  • "K & X falses in area" meter: Shows the number of possible false alerts in your current area based on accumulated SpotLock data™.
  • "Custom Phrases" for audio announcements regarding specific threats.
  • High-resolution meters for the priority alert, not limited to the number of bars on the R8 display.
  • Customizable heads-up display (HUD) that shows the band, signal strength, frequency, and direction of the priority alert. The HUD is color-coded to differentiate real threats from muted false signals.
  • HUD displaying secondary alerts' bands, signal strengths, frequencies, bogey counts, and directions.
  • Independent muting of rear K & X band signals.
  • Advanced BSM/CAS/Ka False Muting optimized for the R8 platform.
  • Ability to adjust the R8's internal detector settings from within the app (a list of available settings is provided). This feature requires US Version 127 firmware.
  • "Ghost" muting that quiets false alerts when you are near a vehicle emitting false signals.
  • "Passive Mute™" feature that reduces volume below user-set speeds and during weak K & X signals.
  • Bogey count display indicating the total number of threats detected.
  • Vehicle speed (in MPH or KMH) displayed with color-coding for each alert type.
  • Mute status with the ability to manually mute/unmute alerts as needed.
  • Detailed and intelligent voice announcements providing information such as direction, band, frequency, strength, number of alerts, occurrences of mixed signals, and more.
  • Automatic muting of Ka, K, and X bands, with adjustable "time before mute" for each band.
  • "Reduce Speed" notification for user-set speeds.
  • "Urgency Alerts™" that unmute growing threats and provide voice and notification alerts.
  • "Alert History" feature allowing you to review past alerts with detailed information about each encounter.
  • Compass heading displayed.
  • Option to toggle between imperial and metric units.
  • Detailed trip summary at the end of your ride, including duration, distance, alerts, muting statistics, battery level, and more.
  • iPhone and Apple Watch notifications for direction, band, and frequency of each alert.
  • Tips/Help system available for assistance.
