AL Display (Visual Display) - $ Not Yet Known (Future Product)
Depending on your ideal setup you might want some options but their might be different ways to achieve the same end result For Example if you have an Apple iPhone and you want a visual display and voice alerts you do not necessarily need the AL Display or HI-Fi Module because you can achieve both these functions using your iPhone with just the Bluetooth Module. The iPhone App with give an awesome display with voice alerts and also allow you to change your AL Priority settings. If you go this route you do not even need to install the regular controller because you can turn your AL Priority on and off with the iPhone app.
Retail Boxes... They are sold separately. So if you bought a Dual for example you would receive one CPU Box and 2 Sensor Boxes. It makes stocking items much easier for the dealers and we do not need to stock separate systems with different head counts.

AL Priority will be more expensive than the competition but we will put together a list of over 30 reasons why they they are worth more....

AL Priority Users Manual
Important Notice: When you receive your AL Priority it will operate only as Parking Sensors, A Blinking Green LED means that you are only in Parking Mode. If you want to utilize the Laser Interference Notification and Laser Defense Notification you need to download the latest firmware from the AL Priority Update Website. After you update the firmware you can go to Setup and configure the advanced settings:
Setup ---> Enter
Region ---> N/S America or your specific region
Advanced Options ---> PDC + LID
This will display all advanced options. Once you make all your setting adjustments hit Save & Download, Put setup file on a USB Memory Stick and insert into your ALP for programming.
Frequent Q&A's:
Front or Rear - How to know where is the laser source that AL Priority has detected?
Until the HiFi Module or Smartphone app is available which will verbally inform you of the direction you can tell by the LED Color. The color of LED during laser alert shows you if detected laser source is in front (RED LED) or behind you (YELLOW LED). To have this working properly, front sensors must be plugged into the F socket, and rear sensors into R socket of your AL Priority Control Box
What type of a USB flash drive to use with the AL Priority?
You may use any USB flash drive as long as it is not corrupted and it is properly formatted to FAT32 or FAT16 (NTFS is not supported). Preferably, the USB flash drive should be cleared (emptied) before use.
How to know if your AL Priority system upgrade was successful?
Once you plug in the USB flash drive with a new firmware into the USB socket of your AL Priority Control Box, multicolor LED on the Control Set will start to blink in different colors. The upgrading will take around 60 seconds. It may take longer if the USB flash drive memory was not cleared of other contents. After the system upgrades to the new firmware it will restart. The ALP system will not start to upgrade if the file is corrupted, or if it is not named correctly, or if it contains present or older firmware version than one that has already been installed.
Which Apple Devices support the ALP Connect Bluetooth Module
Short answer is devices which support Bluetooth 4.0. ALP Connect Requires iOS 6.1 or Later. Compatible with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (3rd Generation), iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular (4th generation), iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular, iPad Air WiFi + Cellular, and iPad mini with Retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular. The app is optimized for iPhone 5. The ALP Connect app will work on the current iPod's and standard iPad Mini but because they lack GPS there will not be any speed information displayed.
