    Requests for Future Improvements with the AL Priority

    The AL Priority without a doubt is the most advanced Laser Defense system in the world. AntiLaser designed the AL Priority based on customer feedback and it shows that they listened with the release of the ALP. If you think something could make it even better leave your suggestions in this one thread so that they are not scattered all over the forum. AntiLaser Engineers view this forum very frequently and this will make it easy for them to find your suggestions.

    Option to turn off remote led unless detecting/jamming while keeping the controller led on solid blue or blinking as quick verification that the system is on and in defense mode.

    Android ALP connect, I know its already in development, just letting AL see how many Android users want it

    Well, I have 4 or 5 and everybody I know has at least one. Perhaps this works in his favor.

    I don't own an ALP (yet) so some of these things might already be in there, but here's what I would want:

    * Ability to KBJ (Kill Before Jam) using the control set buttons or ALP Connect. In other words, press a button to switch to detect-only or park-only mode and back even when not jamming.

    * Positive confirmation that JTK occurred, either manually or automatically, via a beep tone or audio confirmation in the smartphone app (or both, since not everyone will use the app).

    * Ability to clear stored gun statistics after downloading them.

    * Add chronological logging of lidar gun hits instead of just a total count. With a GPS module attached, timestamps and locations could be included. I know ALP Connect does this but this is for those who don't use/have a smartphone or the BT module.

    Additional nice-to-haves/things for future consideration:

    * Add an input to either the control set or the CPU that can be connected to a small button that can be placed anywhere in easy reach (such as on the turn signal stalk). Pressing the button would perform a function selectable in the settings page, such as killing the jammer immediately, muting radar alerts, etc. Additionally, this input could be used to allow an external device to control the ALP (such as the jammer autokill device I'm developing). This input could also be provided in an additional plug-in module like the bluetooth or radar modules so that the existing hardware doesn't need to be changed.

    * Create a splitter/hub to allow connecting more than one device to the control port (i.e. regular control set and bluetooth module) and have them usable simultaneously.

    * Release the interface specifications and serial protocol/command information for the control set port, to allow 3rd parties to create accessories that interface to the ALP (like what Valentine did with ESP).
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    Now that I actually own an ALP (still in the process of installing in my car), I guess I can officially offer my suggestions.

    Here's some I made a year or two ago, obviously before I owned one. Let's see how they're doing.

We have the menu button quick press to flip to parking-only mode now. An option to flip to receive-only mode would be nice to have.

    * Positive confirmation that JTK occurred, either manually or automatically, via a beep tone or audio confirmation in the smartphone app (or both, since not everyone will use the app). HiFi control immediately announces "Interference Detection Only" when JTKing either via control set or timeout. Maybe an option to play a shorter announcement or a simple audio feedback instead of the longish message it plays now.

    * Ability to clear stored gun statistics after downloading them. Still waiting for this.

    * Add chronological logging of lidar gun hits instead of just a total count. With a GPS module attached, timestamps and locations could be included. I know ALP Connect does this but this is for those who don't use/have a smartphone or the BT module. Would be nice if the hardware can support it (enough EEPROM space in the CPU for this?)

    * Create a splitter/hub to allow connecting more than one device to the control port (i.e. regular control set and bluetooth module) and have them usable simultaneously. New BT module will do this.
    Here's some new or rehashed ones:

    1. A longer cable on the (HiFi) control set would be nice. Mine barely reaches from the CPU to where I have my control set.

    2. Give the statistics file a different name than setup.alp, so it doesn't overwrite a setup file already on the USB drive.

    3. Make it possible to deactivate privacy mode (require the key to be present to do this for security).

    4. In addition to "force parking only" as an option for menu button quick press, offer "force DLI" as well. Or rotate through the 3 modes with each press: LID->DLI->PDC->LID...

    On the setup website:

    1. Make it easier to be able to create more than one Setup file without having to create one, download it, go back, upload it again (or re-enter all your settings), make changes, download it again, etc. Have the "Save & Download" button download without going to a new page, then you can download, change settings, download another, etc. Handy if you want to create multiple USB setup files (one for PDC, one for LID, one unlimited, etc.) while retaining all other settings.

    2. (Related to #1 above): offer a login option on the setup page, where you create an account and log in, and your preferred settings are saved and restored on the page without having to upload a setup.alp file. (Another option is to store settings in a cookie and reload them next time the page is accessed)

    3. Allow human-readable statistics to be saved, either online or to a file on your PC (as .txt or .csv), to make it easier to compare a prior statistics file to a current one. I suppose copy & paste works, or print to a PDF file, but that's kludgy.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    In the Alert History window, It states if it was a front or rear alarm.
    In the Alert History window, GPS locations of alerts. You could pull up on the map to see exactly where the alert happened.
