NOTE: R8 Companion™ requires a Uniden R8 or R8w radar detector with US Version 136 (R8) or 128 (R8w) firmware to function correctly. R8 Companion will NOT function correctly without the appropriate firmware for each detector.
R8 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your R8, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting! R8 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your R8.
The R8 Companion™ app leverages years of optimizations and features from the Radar Companion™ series of apps. (Available separately for owners of the V1, R4, R9, & DS1 radar detectors).
Enhanced GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™ - All future updates to this app are free to purchasers of R8 Companion™
R8 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are fully optimized for the R8 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you.
R8 Companion™ full feature list:
• SpotLocks™ - Location based false silencing has never been this good or easy. Turn on the intelligent location-based learning and let R8 Companion™ do the rest. Or you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen.
• SpotLocks™ works seamlessly with your R8’s built in 'auto mute memory' locations. If you create or delete a location from the app it will apply the changes to your R8 at the same time.
• Option to play detector tones in app.
• 'Proximity' meter - leverages the high resolution signal strength and direction information provided by the detector to show you a better representation of the signal's source.
• 'K & X falses in area' meter shows you how many possible false alerts exist in the area you are travelling based on the accumulated SpotLock data™.
• 'Custom Phrases' for a given threat's audio announcements.
• High resolution meter for the priority alert (Not limited to the # of bars on the R8 display).
• Customizable heads-up display (HUD).
• HUD displays the priority alert's band, signal strength, frequency, & direction.
• HUD of the secondary alerts' bands, signal strengths, frequencies, bogey counts & directions.
• Mute rear K & X band signals independently.
• Advanced BSM/CAS/Ka False Muting (Optimized for the R8 platform).
• Ability to set the R8’s internal detector settings from within the app (See below list, more detector settings coming in free future upgrades). *Requires US Version 136 (R8) 128 (R8w) firmware:

Now supports the new Uniden R8w detector!
"Feels like a new detector!", -e This is what people are saying after using the Radar Companion™ apps - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself!
If you liked R8 Companion before this release, you are going to LOVE it after! Modify the most popular settings on your R8 radar detector right from the app! See the list below for a complete list of the settings you can modify (more settings coming in future updates). Spread the word, it is only going to get better. If you have an idea / suggestion you would like included in a future update, please visit https://crackedpixel.com/contact-us to let us know. Thanks!
Version 1.20 Update:
• Fixed bug in initial pairing.
• More robust notifications of firmware and/or database updates.
• Firmware/database update notification added to trip details summary.
• Compiled with latest XCode 16.2 SDK.
Version 1.17 Update:
• Support for new R8w detector.
• Added new firmware update notification to the main alert screen.
• Updated "detector settings" to work with the latest 136 firmware for R8.
• Updated "detector settings" to work with the latest 128 firmware for R8w.
Other 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.
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)
