Installation of radar detector in Vancouver

I just moved to Vancouver a month ago. Didn't have time to install a radar detector yet and unluckily got a speeding ticket on Granville Street 2 weeks ago (going 77 kmh vs. limit of 50 kmh), on an early Sunday morning. $138 fine (reduced by $25 if paid within one month). Very unhappy.

Anyway, could anyone recommend where to go for installing a radar detector? Also any suggestion on what brand to go for?

Hi JunkStory:

I believe most radar detectors on the market today can detect both radar and laser signals.
