Using ALP Radio Mute and Control Functions

[winterbrew]

i cant remember what cpu i have as my cpu has been replaced once before

but i just stuck with the green wire as i have relays already installed ,,MY green wire triggers instantly on alert if i let the alert cycle out the green wire looses voltage within 3 to 4 seconds after my allert

im not to sure why your green wire doesnt work

i noticed in the vid ,,the ALP said INTERFERENCE DETECTION ONLY could this have affects on the green wire

+1

using same relay as Deano, using the green wire on my V1 CPU. Mine switches off shortly after the audio warning cycles out. Also mine also still switches when in defense mode, but under the defined ULID speed (i.e when the car is parked and the GPS integration switches from defense to detection only)

Can someone please post their wiring diagram for the blue wire radio mute?
Negative trigger ground relays are new to me.
Only want the microrelay 5v design' not 12v. Tks

This is the way i operate my setup , surely someone can have a better way , though this works well. I dont use the Blue wire , just the green.
My Cpu is second generation. The drawing is simplistic , once you get the idea you can manipulate the way you need.

Tman, tks .. I will study it and see why i can't use similar logic on different blue wire. Looks like green wire goes to vcc- which is a negative ground trigger. Then to common on switch contacts. Then off to load. Green to vcc- is key and how i screwed up before.

Right : the green is negative trigger , the blue should work also w by changing the input on the timed relay...cant comment as i never used the blue.

In my setup , the green goes to negative under alert , it triggers the timed relay + the second relay via the the closed contacts , but after the set delay those contacts open thus change the second relay.

From there you can manipulate whichever action you want : close\open any circuit.

Can anyone explain why Tman DOES NOT need a diode in his circuit. When would you use a diode?

A diode should always be used. It allows current to flow in only one direction to prevent any current from going back into the unit the wrong way.

[Redmoto]

Ok diode will be used.

Idea of improvement: to add in the settings of the ALP an ON/OFF of the mute cable. If you don't need to mute, from the Bluetooth, you unselect the function.

3 second NC relay triggered on blue wire. Design ver1, see photo below. * means set at 3sec.
Ignore cb/ck, this is on the relay, must be Chinese for nc/no.
How does this work?
0sec relay triggers in sequence with blue wire trigger, allowing relay3(black) to switch from 87a to 87 instantly.
3sec relay does nothing until 3sec is up then it takes power away from 0sec relay allowing relay3 to switch back to home position or from 87 to 87a
When trigger event is over the whole system miraculously resets.
Note come to find out this only works with engine running.
Blue wire before trigger 13.4v
Blue wire during trigger 4.4v
Trigger lasts for 5sec hence if 5sec is desired don't need 3 relays, could work with 1 relay.
