Slynky, I have a beltronics STI, bought it a couple of years ago because I live in VA. At the time, dont know if it still is, was the only radar detector that was undetectible by rader detector detectors. I hope that makes sense. Anyways, the beltronics STI can detect laser and radar. I have mine mounted right undernieth the tint line on the window. You don't want your radar detector directly behind the tint. The tint will greatly reduce your ability to pick up radar. Typically it is generally better to have your radar detector as high as possible so that you can pick up the scatter (scatter being the radar bouncing off the vehicles infront of you). The draw back of mounting it high though is your ability to pick up laser is reduced. It is a catch 22.
