A Must-have Companion for your Uniden R/TACH Detectors

Features & Capabilities

Take your driving to the next level with the R/TACH™ app! Seamlessly connect to your R/TACH radar/laser detectors, including models R4/R4w, R8/R8w, and R9/R9w, and effortlessly customize and fine-tune your detector settings.

When you pair your R/TACH detector with the R/TACH app, you'll receive real-time alerts directly on your Device Screen. Stay ahead of potential threats with instant notifications and easily control alert events like Mute and Mute Memory from your screen.

Drive with confidence using the Map Screen Mode, which provides location awareness for known red-light and speed camera spots. Mark User Locations on the map to get notified as you approach points of interest. Plus, enjoy Lifetime Free Updates to the red-light/speed camera location database with your Uniden detector.

Connect your R4w, R8w, R9w detector to your home Wi-Fi network (e.g., in your garage) to conveniently update your detector’s firmware and red-light/speed camera database. Simply set up your home Wi-Fi SSID and Password in the app's Wi-Fi Settings to stay current with the latest updates. (Note: R4/R8 users will need to download the R/TACH Tool from Uniden.com for free firmware and database updates.)

User Reviews

Users like that R/TACH lets them remotely adjust detector settings and find the v1 app promising and enjoyable. Repeated negatives are inability to perform firmware updates over Bluetooth, unreliable Bluetooth connections, settings not reliably applying (and occasional factory-resetting), and missing support for the R7. Overall: useful but needs firmware-over-BT, stability, and model compatibility improvements.

Pros

Allows remote adjustment of detector settings (convenient for tuning)
Many users find the app enjoyable and easy to use — positive first impressions for a v1 release
Several users report it works well and improves the detector experience (especially with R4/R8)
Active development/updates praised by users seeing improvements after firmware/device updates

Cons

Cannot update detector firmware via Bluetooth — must use a computer (frequently complained)
Bluetooth connectivity is unstable on multiple devices (disconnects, fails to fully connect or show data)
Settings don’t always sync correctly from app to detector; some report changes causing factory resets
Lacks support/compatibility for certain models (several requests for R7 support)

Recent reviews

I really enjoy this app in combination with my R8w. It allows me to adjust my detector's settings on the go as well as update my firmware without having to remove the detector from its mount. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone with a Uniden detector. By doing so, they will be opening an ease of operation they can only wish for without it.

UPDATE Jan2025 from 3 Stars OH SNAP!! I'm so happy I got the R4 over the R3! Just updated from like 1.0 firmware which was pretty good so-so with this R/Tach app to NOW.. wow! this is a BANGER of a combo!! I'll have to see how the BT connectivity is but so far Uniden is KILLIN' it with this app!! Thank so much for continuing to develop this and work out the kinks. LOVING. THIS. RADAR.
