Given where it's located, are you certain that the third brake light nearby isn't setting it off?

FWIW, L is "Advanced Logic" mode, not laser. It seems to apply to x-band filtering only.

Also this might help:

Laser False Alarms
1. Red neon, from stores and occasionally from brake lights of other cars (example: Chevy TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Olds Bravada and Buick Rainier), can imitate the characteristics of speed laser.
Solution: Move away from source.

2.The electrical systems of some cars generate electromagnetic interferences, triggering laser alerts. How to test: Try V1 in a different car.
Possible solution: Try relocating detector within the interfering car; also, your dealer may have a factory fix.

3. Adaptive cruise control systems using laser may cause laser alerts.
Solution: Switch to normal cruise control when possible.
