The V1 is a top-notch radar detector, but when it comes to laser, they say it's more a "ticket detector" - because when it alerts to laser, your tagged. Same goes for any radar/laser detector.
The only sure protection against laser is to get a laser jammer/shifter.

And based on tests I've seen, it appears that a single head diode-based jammer would work well right in the bottom part of the grill under the emblem. But two heads down below as pictured above is probably fine as well...just a little far from the headlights.

Looks nice and clean!

Step 1 was cutting the grill (The car was 2 days old) for the jammer.
Step 2, I then did about four mock ups with cardboard, putting the front clip on and off to figure out the distance down from the bumper the jammer needed to be, then created my own metal mount. Here is the Jammer in the front clip awaiting the last mock up. I put the clip on, then DUCT taped the jammer to the bumper, removed the clip, and drilled small pilot holes, then metal mounting screws. Leading us to the next picture (both of my metal mounts were not the same, had to use what I had, but you get the idea).
and then a final install picture of both jammers and the BIG radar receiver.
And then complete.
Unless you are looking for the jammers, they are not noticed. Since in FL a front plate is not required, I have been told they are taught to aim at the front bumper. These run enough interference to avoid going to jail, I always turn off the jammer (Hit remote mute twice) when I'm at 9 over if I have a "LASER ALERT FRONT RIGHT"
I love this unit, just need to get my display "etched" into my rear-view mirror.

Radar detectors with "laser" detections are USELESS! If it goes off, the cop is painting your car, you are caught, period. The only thing that might save you is if he leaves his gun going a bit long and you catch it a few cars back. VERY UNLIKELY.

That's enough time for you to get on the binders and slow down to a legal speed but not enough for the cop to think that you are really jamming him. If he thinks you are jamming his signal, he may give you a ration of **** just because he can. Laser jammers are not illegal unless by local ordinance. They are laser emitters and as such are controlled by the FDA not the FCC, State or local governments.
