1) You don't have to take it to a shop to do this. There's a DIY here: http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=290578 I followed it and everything turned out fine.

2) Yes, you will lose laser detection capability, but that isn't that big of a deal, as like you said, once you get hit w/laser, you're done for. Couple the radar detector w/a laser jammer. As far as radar diminishing radar detection, from personal experience, I can tell you that's false. It was also debunked in this video from Alekshop.
