Because it’s **non-metallized**, it’s also a strong choice for modern vehicles where you want performance without interfering with many in-car signals.

##Which Uniden do I buy? R4W, R7W, R8W, R9W
Here’s the simplest way to choose:
- R4W: Best value if you want strong range and modern features (GPS + Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/app updates) without directional arrows.
- R7W: Choose this if you want directional arrows but don’t need Uniden’s newest “flagship” level.
- R8W: Best overall windshield-mount pick for most enthusiasts—dual-antenna 360° directional awareness + Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/app + strong performance.
- R9W: Best if you want a fully hidden, professionally integrated system (remote sensors, permanent install, highest-end build).
What makes the decision:
- Want the best windshield unit + arrows: R8W.
- Want great performance for less money (no arrows): R4W.
- Want the cleanest OEM-style “no detector on the glass” install: R9W.
