The ALP control set is small, unobtrusive and I have it tucked away ins the ash tray compartment, out of sight when I park the car. As for BT, I don't have it, but it is easy to just take the phone with you when you park. Sometimes simple is better. My 2 cents.
    Excellent point. It is just how I am...I like having a hardwired system and a small display that is specifically built for the system. I just cannot justify the cost of the Stinger though...plus ALP is better in the laser department. Thanks for the advice.

    Beltronics STIR plus full system versus ALP with STIR antenna...falses

    I am still stuck between buying the full version of the STIR plus or the ALP quad setup with STIR antenna. Ive had the full before but I really like the simplicity and price advantage to getting the STIR and ALP integrated setup. My only issue...false alerts. How bad is it? Is it manageable like the Stinger system or is it more like a Redline / Valentine One? I can always segment the bands, add the GPS speed cutoff, etc. but with all that...not sure really what to expect. Thanks!

    I considered the STiR + antenna only version but in the end went with full version and a BT module. Love the BT module. I don't need to mount any displays since I don't have a need to look at it. The phone is in my pocket. The controller is wired to a switched power source. The ALP app is running in the background and connects automatically. if I get hit, I can check the recorded info when I get home.

    I drive I95 in Virginia. I have never been pulled over for having it. I was pulled over when I had the top unit from Cobra. I use the escort redline the wife's car and that also works well

    Thanks for your reply guys. Just ordered the whole kit 2 days ago. Can't wait to get it and install it. Do you know what laser guns are used in California? For radar, I'm planning to disable X and K band. Just leave KA band running.

    What part of Calif are you in? I'm in the Orange County area and I have been hit most by Stalker XLR.

    Up in NorCal in the San Jose area. Last ticket I got was from a Lidar based on what the ticket said. Had a cop hiding under the trees in the shade in Palo Alto on Foothills Blvd. Caught me going 63 mph in a 45mph. It was an open long stretch of road with no one else. He was out for blood. $411 ticket!! Could have paid for almost half of the ALP!!!!!
