Radar Detection

OK, I bought a new car recently and am considering adding radar detection, dash cam and laser stopping hardware to the car. Trying to decide is it really worth it.

I already have a dash cam Nextbase 522. I could mount it on the windshield and be done with it. Of course I don't know when radar is in use or if a cop is hitting me with a laser.

On the other hand number of tickets I have had in the last 10 years = ZERO. And I was driving a faster car the last 3 years (540i vs base model Porsche Cayenne). Ballpark cost given me was about $3500 with unit hanging from rear view mirror to $5500 built in and no one can see it. Apparently the laser defeating stuff is a major component of the cost.

Thinking in my case it might just be cheaper to pay the next ticket I get IF I ever get another one. Opinions or was the price quoted way out of line?
