(NEW) Uniden R4 Extreme Long-Range Laser/Radar Detector

This unit was my second one. Only lasted 2.6yrs.My first one lasted like 8yrs.both died in the desert where's about 125 i forgot to unplugging it at 110(outside temp was like 99...windshield temp. is diff. story) after parking the car and now the 3th time i have to buy a new one, this time i will try the R7. Don't miss understand me this is the best thing since a silece of bread but i think they can not handle heat. I drive in Ca. and AZ. Speed tickets are $499 and $299. this units save me at least twice or more every day...you do the math and i still have perfect driving record after 40years of safe driving up to 140 mph.(I am a European reject where we drive and would like to get there. I can not drive @65 fall to sleep so it's not safe for me) The reason i'm going with the R7 cause the dirrection of the radar. This r4 is warn you so much ahead some times takes me 10 minutes to find a cop if it's behind me.So simple\comes on push the break until speed limit than set the cruise control and when no more sound put your foot into the gas padle and burn petrol and go fast as you can until the next warnings! I got 232 miles door to door between my two homes last 3yrs i could not do better than 2.29hr do it 1-4 times/ month.On the average trip saves me 4-10 tickets.(do the math again) the reason for the 1 star is because it's should last longer than 2.6yrs. Keep it cool and unplug it when not in use, do not let it cook on the dashboard like i did.No one who likes to drive(worry about speed traps or saving $s) should be without one.
