I brought my trusty Snooper S5 radar detector from the UK and it detects K , X, Ka and Ku bands. Just need to locate a windshield mount as I have seemed to lost it. Or perhaps use velcro?
In the city here they run some radar but on the expressway, all laser signals all the time from the state guys. I actually gave away my Bel STi Driver to a forum member because it was pointless to have one in my situation. I live outside the city and use highways 99% of the time. On my 350Z I had a Laser Interceptor and it was amazing. Worked flawlessly and I want to get another one for the 370.
Imho you are correct about a radar detector not being of any use if laser is hitting you. It may alert you that it's laser but by that time you are hosed.

I had one like this and it was perfect for it sitting under the mirror.
