Also, do you place the detector in the windshield per the instructions? And third... these 9500i don't detect laser?

I had mine hardwired by a stereo shop pretty close to where I live. It was pretty cheap...less then $75. Mine is mounted by suction cups in the middle of my winshield....just barely off the dash. There's a hardwire kit that you can buy that will take care of this. It is a very clean look.
Both the 8500 and 9500 "detect' laser....however 99% of the time this does absolutely nothing for you if you're speeding. When the laser alert goes off, it simply means that you've already been hit...or are picking up some residue from another car being hit. The only true defense from laser (imo) is a laser jammer. They are leagal in all but 6 or 7 states. Unfortunaley they are illegeal in CA.
Funny we're talking about this...I just reccived my Laser Interceptor" today...which i have been waiting for for 5-6 months. Do a search on "Laser Interceptor" or "laser jammers" and you'll find a pretty good (and active) thread about it.
