Description

Powerful, yet simple! Quiet your R4 until a real threat is near. Set it, forget it, and drive… It just works! *FEATURING SpotLocks™ - state-of-the-art false lockouts.

NOTE: R4 Companion™ requires a Uniden R4 radar detector with US Version 130 firmware to function correctly. R4 Companion will NOT function correctly without this firmware.

R4 Companion™ is a feature rich app, designed to give you the most out of your R4, while enhancing your driving experience along the way. Featuring intelligent alerts and advanced muting! R4 Companion™ is the COMPLETE solution to enjoying your R4.

The R4 Companion™ app leverages years of optimizations and features from the Radar Companion™ series of apps. (Available separately for owners of the V1, R8, R9, & DS1 radar detectors).

Enhanced GPS location based 'false muting' via SpotLocks™ - All future updates to this app are free to purchasers of R4 Companion™

R4 Companion™'s alerting and muting systems are fully optimized for the R4 platform. Intelligent voice announcements and on-screen visuals will always keep you informed and aware of the situation around you.

R4 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 R4 Companion™ do the rest. Or you can manually 'lock' or 'unlock' locations with ease from the main alert screen.
• Works seamlessly with the R4's auto mute memory, manual mute memory, k-block, and quiet-ride built in muting.
• Option to play detector tones in app.

What’s New

Version 1.09.4

"Feels like a new detector!", -e This is what people are saying after using R4 Companion™ - See what all the fuss is about, try it for yourself!
If you liked R4 Companion before this release, you are going to LOVE it after! Modify the most popular settings on your R4 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 1.09 Updates:
• Optimizations and misc. bug fixes.

Version 1.08 Updates:
• First major update to "SpotLock" 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.
• Enhanced "detector tone" functionality. 'Mutes to silent' now to match the functionality of the detector.
• 4 new mute types added to alert history log:
"User R4" for when the user presses the physical mute button.
"R4 Latch" to support Uniden's latch mute - when the detector is muted & the signal goes away & 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.
• Improved GPS Cooldown/Warmup functionality under certain conditions.
• Fix for when "BT Scanning" is set to OFF, but random connections still happen.
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.
• Added the option to have the radar detector's alert tones play through the app.
• 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.
• New 'GPS Warmup' feature that keeps the detector quiet for a 'user set' number of seconds or until a GPS connection is established with your detector and/or iPhone. Useful for parking garages etc.
• 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 volume adjustment sliders for the detector's main and mute volume levels to the main alert screen.
• Added the ability view and change the R4 mode between Advanced, Highway, City and Auto to the main alert screen.
• Added a new R4 settings screen to modify some of the more popular R4 settings (more to come in future updates) including:
• All Threat ON/OFF
• K Blk 1 ON/OFF/WEAK/MUTE
• K Blk 2 ON/OFF/WEAK/MUTE
