    If system is powered on and you insert the USB Memory drive with the firmware on it nothing happens when you insert it? There is no red blinking error code?
    If nothing happens are you sure you also loaded a Setup File with Defense Activated?

    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.

    System is powered on, I insert USB memory drive with firmware, UCSET.bin, setup.alp, nothing happens. USB drive light doesn't light up, ALP just blinks normally (blue, one per second), no red error blinking, no multicolor firmware upgrade blinking.

    If its blinking blue you are in defense mode and all is working properly.

    It was blinking blue out of the box before I did any firmware upgrades though. My concern is the system won't read the USB, I know that because it doesn't change the settings to the ones I selected on the setup file (dim mode etc). Also, when I manually check firmware version, it is still at 4.3.1. The first time I attempted firmware update to 4.3.5 (I didn't know I had to register my serial number first), the system actually blinked different colors and rebooted, but still at 4.3.1. After this, it won't even attempt to perform the update sequence. Plug in USB with firmware, UCSET, setup.alp, nothing happens. Thanks for your patience in trying to help me with this problem by the way!

    I thought you mentioned it was a new system which would have come with a blinking green light. Have you registered the product? The latest firmware is only available to registered users? If so try to download it again because if you downloaded it before registration you will not get a proper file. Format the drive download all 3 files and try again and let me know what happens. Also you can PM me your order number and serial number it would be helpful.

    It is a new system. Starts off with blinking green light, then after one minute will switch to blinking blue light. I did my registration yesterday afternoon, and I tried redownloading the firmware and updating this morning, but still doesn't work. Maybe they haven't processed my registration yet. I'll PM you my serial number. Thanks again.

    That is normal because you have LID not set to unlimited it will be in parking mode initially and then switch over to defense mode.

    Do this:

    Name:  Serial.jpg

    And confirm the firmware number you are on.

    Firmware number is 4.3.1. The other thing is I can't pull any stats using menu 7-2-2-2 either. Is it possible that the first time I ran the update sequence (where it was blinking multiple colors and rebooted) using the firmware .bin file I downloaded before registering my serial number with ALP somehow bricked my system? Everything else seems to be working (parking sensor, control set etc), just not USB.

    Did you by any chance install the security key?
