Uniden full line of radar detectors for 12 volt retail market

A new custom radar detector is now shipping from Uniden and it will be distributed nationally exclusively by the Elite Distributor Alliance (EDA), the 12 volt industry’s distributor group.

The R9 Extreme is Uniden’s first custom radar detector.  It offers ” industry-leading detection range and protection” says Uniden.  The EDA says the R9 Extreme delivers “unrivaled results in recent independent testing.”

 

EDA Elite Distributor Alliance Adds Uniden R9 Extreme

The R9 Extreme uses a new dual LNA (Low Noise Amplifier) for extended detection range and protection.  It has multiple  front-facing and rear-facing radar receivers and laser transponders for 360-degree protection.

It has advanced K/Ka band filtering to “virtually eliminate false alerts, said Uniden. This includes false alerts from door openers and vehicle blind spot detection systems. The new radar detector also has dual radar antennae and 6 laser transponders.  The system works over Bluetooth with an app and has built-in GPS for red light and speed camera alerts.  It also allows for firmware updates.

Other features include arrow/voice alerts for the direction of the threat and color OLED display.

Suggested retail price for the R9 Extreme is $3,999.

Tony Kainuma, Director of Product Management at Uniden said, “On behalf of Uniden, we are very excited about the R9 Extreme and the next generation of radar detection technology it represents.  To be able to go to market with the distinguished group of distributors that EDA represents is very exciting and will ensure same day or next day delivery to our dealers.”

  1. That is an outrageous price and doubt your regular everyday customer will even entertain the idea of purchasing it.
    So sad that this company forgot about the basic customers that originally grew the business.
