I have that same detector and have gotten 3 tickets with laser guns in the time period I have owned it and yes it is mounted the correct way. Once it did not even go off. Trust me, the 8500 X50 will not protect you very well with regard to a laser gun. None of the detectors really can. It sounds like you have been lucky so far, but I wouldn't have too much faith in it if I were you with regard to laser protection. It has worked really well with regard to redar detection though.

Laser detector is really good at telling you that you just got a ticket.

It looks great however, $1,500 would cover a number of tickets.

Yup...expensive, but tix can be expensive these days...not to mention demerits that can lose you your license! I'm not a reckless driver which is why I'm wondering whether this is worth it for me. Would probably be more for interest sake.

My Escort Passort 7500 saved me over $2000 so far! I think I bought it for about $400.

without question v1, worth every penny has paid for itself many times over now for me.
