How-to Update Uniden Firmware & Database - R7, R3, R1, & Others!

#Howto quickly & easily update #Uniden R1, R3, & #R7 #firmware & the red light database!

Check out the z1lla shop on my website at https://www.z1lla.com/shop :D There are a lot more products coming soon so check back often! Thank you!

This video will show you how to easily and quickly update the firmware and red light camera database of your Uniden R1/R3/R7 radar detectors. I am demonstrating with the Uniden R7 but the process is the same for the R1 and R3... just be sure to grab the appropriate firmware & USB driver for YOUR radar detector.

The site to download the software, firmware, and database file from: https://support.uniden.com/radar-detectors/

When I put together this video, 9/6/2021, the most recent release of software/firmware/db/etc was as follows (these will change as time moves on)...
