My V1 had LIDAR protection and it was not very useful. I actually messed around with it when VA state cops were sitting on 495 one night. I tried driving back and forth a few times to see if different placements of the detector, sensitivity etc would effect it and nothing really worked to my liking. Lidar uses a straight beam and shoots with a very direct pattern. I think the Lidar light up like once or twice in the 3 months I owned it.
Also, if you conceal the unit it will NOT pick up lidar. I'm still going to suggest looking into a Lidatek or Passport laser system if you live in Virginia. The sensors for them are hidden in the front grill and next to the 3rd brake light and are pretty much undetectable.
Heck, give the v1 a shot. They sell for nearly retail value on ebay anyway for a current version, so it's not like you'll be losing big time on it. It would be a good addition to a lidatek if you decide to go that route.
