Version 1.13 Update:
• Fix for erratic speed display.
Recent Updates:
• First major update to "SpotLocks" system (location based lockouts) since its release.
• New and improved SpotLock 2.0 and Advanced False Assist 3.0. Both data driven systems have been updated using 4 years of historical data. This takes your detector to a whole new level of quietness and safety against real threats.
• Enhancements to "Reduce your speed" alert functionality.
• 4 new mute types added to alert history log:
"User R8" for when the user presses the physical mute button.
"R8 Latch" for to support Uniden's latch mute for when the detector is muted and the signal goes away and then re-occurs within a short period.
"User app" for when a user mutes the detector by taping on the phone screen during an active alert.
"Ka, K, X Timer" for when the detector is muted after the user's set amount of time.
• Compiled with latest Xcode 15.4 SDK.
• Improved GPS Cooldown/Warmup functionality.
• Fix for when. "BT Scanning" is set to OFF, but random connections still happen.
Previous Updates:
• Added ability to erase POI, Ka & Laser Alerts from the map via the format button.
• Added ability to backup/restore all, or just backup SpotLocks, POI, and Ka and Laser Alerts individually.
• New Alert log event, "Urgent" based on your urgency alert settings.
• Added the option to have the radar detector's alert tones play through the app. The new setting is found in the 'Audio Settings' of R8 Companion.
• The app will read your detector's settings for each signal type's alert tone (1-12) and use the associated alert tone within the app for alerts.
***TIP: Setting the main volume for the detector to 0 on the main alert screen and enabling the detector alert tones, will eliminate the brief audio "blips" you would normally hear when a mute command is first sent to the detector. Only potential threats will then trigger audio through your speaker or audio system providing an extremely quiet ride.
• Improved Bluetooth connection speed (now up to 60% faster) and re-connection reliability.
• New ability to unlock a Ka 'mute mem' or 'auto mem' from within the app.
• Tuned existing K-Notch for Acuras/Hondas based on historical data.
• Added ability to tun ON/OFF the function of SpotLocks automatically writing the location to your detector's "manual mute" memory when a locked SpotLock is created (This setting is found on the map screen).
• Added a new R8 settings screen to modify some of the more popular R8 settings (more to come in future updates). The list of settings that can be modified are as follows:
• Laser ON/OFF
• X Band ON/OFF
• K Band ON/OFF
• K Pop ON/OFF
• K Filter ON/OFF
• K Scans (Narrow, Wide, Extended)
• TSF ON/OFF
• Ka Band ON/OFF
• Ka Pop ON/OFF
• Ka Filter ON/OFF
• Ka Scans (Narrow, Wide, Segmented)
• Ka 1-9 Segs ON/OFF
• Auto Mute Volume ON/OFF
• Change Alert Display (#1, #2, #3 - NOTE: Bug in firmware makes it so you have to select #3 from the detector. The firmware won't read or write display option #3).

• Select Priority Band
• Auto Mute Memory ON/OFF
• Select Auto Mute Memory Bands
