    Figured it out in the end.
    Took me toasting my G9 CPU to figure it out haha.
    Damn ALP lead is different, thus it will not work with G9 heads.
    G9 cable for G9 heads.
    ALP cable for ALP heads.
    Oh wells, it all works well now .

    The new ALP cable is faulty.
    It just toasted my G9 cpu.
    A bit pissed about it, but at lest I know the cause.
    That's expensive fault finding, what was wrong with the cable mate?

    Cable was ok in the end.
    It just HAS to be used with the ALP head.
    If the G9 head is connected to it, the head dies.
    Be careful when you connect yours up mate.

    Forces me to buy another ALP head for the rear haha.
    Oh wells, extra protection I guess....

    It sounds to me like everything was ok in the beginning & you were just to close to a wall or another vehicle...that's why it was "beeping"...it was sensing a reflection off something close by.

    What was your "parking distance" set to in your Configure Table for the CPU ?

    Nothing was close by.
    After testing, I figured out the beeping was indeed a connection failure, the ALP cable + G9 = bad.
    The head actually failed because of it, I wrongly assumed that just because the ALP cpu is G9 compatible, the cable running from the cpu to the head is actually wired different.
    I am so glad it didn't kill the ALP head, as I would have been rather annoyed.

    Clarification requested,beingaware -

    Just so we can warn others in the future...
    1.The Original G9 Sensor & Original G9 Sensor cable can be used/plugged into the NEW AL-P CPU.

    2.The Original G9 Sensor & new "Priority" Sensor cable CANNOT be used/plugged into the NEW AL-P CPU.

    Is this what you are stating ?

    Morning, So as you have already learned the beeping was a sensor disconnected or failure message.

    The back on the manual will explain what the sounds are:

    LED Constant Red + 2 Beeps (Error 2) Cables unplugged or Defective sensor

    You can never make the assumption just because din cables look the same that they are wired the same. Laser Interceptor, Blinder, Etc. all use Din Connectors but they are all wired differently. You have already learned this the hard way, But if you were just swapping the CPU with your old G9 CPU everything should have worked right out of the box. Also dont forget to update the cpu firmware and the control module firmware if you have not already done it.

    1, yes it can be, works completely fine.

    2, and that is correct, do that, and your G9 head goes bye bye.

    I'm sure Deano will chip in at some point.

    He purchased an ALP triple, and plugged in his ALG9RX dual heads without any issues

    Correct, But what beingaware did was connect his G9 Head to the ALP Head's wiring, They must have different pin-outs. If when he received it he connected the G9 Head with the wiring already on the G9 there would not have been any issue.
