Uniden R3 and R7 updates New Zealand firmware and speed camera database
Uniden’s New Zealand distributor (BluLink) has made the various Uniden R3 and R7 updates available.
If your detector is working fine, there often isn’t any need to run a firmware update. We recommend not doing any firmware updates unless there’s an actual problem.
Note that the firmware and GPS database updates are NOT the same thing.
- IMPORTANT! FIRMWARE UPDATES

Hi Team,
Purchased uniden r3 from you guys wondering whats the latest firmware? Cheers!
Hi Ralph! You’d need to send the detector to BluLink if you want to do FIRMWARE updates. Chances are, you don’t really need to update the firmware. The latest GPS database though is 1.46, released June 2022.

This is the international version, the NZ firmware works fine. BluLink the New Zealand distributor (www.BluLink.co.nz) simply don’t make the firmware available. You’d have to take it up with them, we simply resell them, we don’t modify them, or load custom firmware or databases, we just resell what they make available. The same goes for Stinger, Escort (Neltronics), and Genevo. You can download the latest GPS database from BluLink. GPS database is available. Firmware is not. Do you know the difference? Many people don’t and this is why BluLink try to slow down the number of bricked units they’d likely see through misguided expertise.
Dodgy? Says the person with no actual order to cancel… Oldest trick in the book? Not sure – NZRadars.com has been around for over a decade. How old is your Hotmail address?

Hi team, looking to purchase a uniden r7 from Amazon as you have none in stock, what settings do I need to change if any?
It’s not out of stock – it’s no longer a current NZ model, the New Zealand distributor (not us) no longer supply it. Not sure what settings you’d want to change, we have no idea how American ones are set up. The GPS database won’t be relevant either.
What is the procedure to have the new fixed speed cameras added to my UNIDEN R7?
BluLink (the NZ distributor for Uniden) has the update software and database available on their website here: https://blulink.co.nz/product/radar-detector-r7-nz/#tab-downloads
Hi there ive got the 360c and got pulled up the other day, police were using the handheld laser but radar didnt pick it up what so ever so just wondering are they using new tech and if there was an update for this? i brought this about 3-4 months ago
Hi Aiden – tickets are stink, and laser is a real pain and nearly impossible to beat. Take a look at some of the “why didn’t it go off” points here: https://www.nzradars.com/passed-police-speed-trap-clearly-see-cop-pointing-laser-gun-direction-radar-didnt-go/
