    I suppose in that situation you could just keep your finger over the button and as soon as it starts alerting, press it to JTK immediately.

    Sounds like a suggestion for a future firmware update, to allow toggling between modes at the press of a button.
    I could not see any need to kill your device if its not Jamming. What would be the point? If you are hit you press the button and kill it or set it to automatically kill at 3-4 seconds.
    If you dont want the jammer operating press the power button and turn it off and turn it back on when you want to use it.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    To avoid jamming when you don't have to, say if you see the LEO and slowed before being shot. And to get confirmation of the shot and a gun ID.

    Anyway, you answered the question. The easiest/quickest way is to just be ready and hit the button immediately to JTK.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    I know what you mean , the Li has a switch to pass from jam to listen only , i often use it and
    it is very usefull to gather information.

    Here an example , you hear the sound when i switch from jamable to listen @ 14
    i had a feeling cop was there , so i was 47\50 , no need to jtk ...safer...dont awake
    local cops, as i pass there 4 times a day .

    I do wish Alp implement such mechanical switch , unless it is already in existence
    but i am not aware of.

    Hi,

    I just got the ALP unit today. I can't seem to get out of Parking mode, the LED always blinks green. I already update the firmware for the CPU box and the control unit. I also put went to the website and customized a Setup file and have the ALP unit download the Setup file (PDC & LID chosen). But my unit will not go into laser defense (blue) mode, it only stays in parking (green) mode.

    Also, how does one work with the bluetooth module? When I plugged it in place of the control unit and gave power to the CPU, nothing turned on.

    I wish there was some sort of manual somewhere for these options/modules.

    Thanks!

    After you did the firmware update, did you remember to do a factory reset? If I remember correctly you load the first file and then do a factory reset. From there you can load the other two files. BRD, RR or Mirage, does that sound right?

    Sounds like you either did not load your firmware correctly or you did not load your setup file with defense settings:
    See this thread: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...ur-AL-Priority

    Also the Bluetooth manual is in this thread at the bottom of the first post: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...h-Users-Manual

    yes. I tried different combo too.

    _ uploaded the CPU firmware, uploaded the control unit firmware, reset factory settings and then upload my own settings
    _ uploaded the CPU firmware, reset factory settings, uploaded the control unit firmware and then upload my own settings

    neither worked

    Is your Control Unit off when you put in the USB stick to load the various files, or is it on and then you put in the USB to start loading the files?

    Did the unit flash different colors while the firmware updated? Takes around a minute. If you name the file incorrectly the firmware will not update.
    See this link: http://www.alpriority.com/faqs/prope...mware-upgrade/
    And also see this for setup file: http://www.alpriority.com/faqs/proper-name-setup-file/

    BRD, I followed through with that instruction twice but it didn't work. I also did a manual head test and the CPU correctly counted 4 heads. The short firmware version called out 1.1.4. I'm stumped.

    I will call you guys tomorrow. Thanks!
