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.
