Given my enclosure, I very rarely get laser alarms though some SUVs' collision avoidance systems will trigger it.
I disable laser on my V1 entirely, it's just a ticket detector most of the time.
I run 3 different ECMs on my car:
V1 - solely for the arrows and better Ka performance than Escort on some bands, I disable X on the V1. I use the bluetooth piece with it to connect to my iphone for a remote display. I normally use a Blendmount to hang the V1.
Escort 9500ci - I have an older one that had the original ZR4 garbage lidar jammers on it; I don't install those, I just install the radar horn, controller, GPS, and display so I have another radar system. I leave all bands enabled here (highway patrol in southern Ohio still use X band at times)
AL Priority - currently the #1 lidar defense system in the market

I swear I thought this car had blind spot detection but I guess not. :P What band & frequency is the front collision system? (Guessing something in the middle of K band...)
