First Steps Required After Installing Your AL Priority System

[BestRadarDetectors]

** IMPORTANT ** - If you plan to install your ALP using Bluetooth instead of the Control Module you still need to update the ALP using the following instructions with the Control Module connected. Once the unit is fully updated you can disconnect the Control Module and plug in your Bluetooth module and all will be good. You will not be able to update the CPU for the first update using the Bluetooth module. Once the initial firmware update is done you may switch to the Bluetooth and all future updates will work fine with only the Bluetooth module connected.

The AL Priority was designed as a parking aid and once installed they are full fledged parking sensors out of the box. If you would like to activate advanced functions of the AL Priority to give you warning for interference or defense from laser guns you will to take the following steps:

Step 1

Update the firmware of your AL Priority - Go to http://www.alpupdate.com Under Firmware Upgrade hit the enter button:

66

On the next screen it will ask for your Serial Number, Enter Serial number of your CPU and hit the OK Button:
67

After you hit the OK button an Equation will appear asking a simple math problem to verify you are a human, Put the answer in the box and hit the Press To Download button:

68

Save file to a Fat 16 or Fat 32 formatted USB Drive.

Step 2

Usually with Firmware updates there is a matching Control Set Firmware that will also need to be downloaded: The Control set (Either the Standard or HiFi) firmware is listed on the same page as the CPU Firmware and will look like the following:

Standard Controller: (Non HiFi) - you will need to download the current UCSET.bin file: (Green Download Button)

1404

If you have the HiFi Controller you will need to download the current UCSTHIFI.BIN file: (Purple Download Button) and choose either the Male or Female Voice Pack (VOICEPCK.ALP)

4139

Save the file UCSET.bin (Standard Controller) or UCSTHIFI.BIN + VOICEPCK.ALP (HiFi Controller) to the same USB Drive that you saved the CPU firmware to.

Step 3

Go back to the ALP update site (The main home page) and this time under SETUP hit the enter button:
69

Under Region Choose your region: For most of you this will be N/S America and immediately the basic setup menu will be displayed:
Scroll to the bottom and look for Advanced Options:

70

If you want laser defense you will need to select: PDC & LID and once you click that option a new menu will appear with all the advanced options.

Laser Defense it set at 4 Seconds by default. Please do not choose Unlimited unless you are testing your system. You can scroll up and down and check all the options available to you and when you are done just click the Save & Download button at the bottom and save setup file to your USB Memory Stick

Step 4

Perform a Factory Reset

Same as with the G9, the ALP system will memorize the number of connected sensors only when Restore Defaults options is activated. Since an ALP set is powered on many times before it is actualy installed in the customer car (factory test, dealer test, garage installer test, customer test, etc.) there is no real „first“ power-on. That is why installer/customer decides when the system is ready to memorize the sensor state. ALP novelty compared to the G9 is that not only the number of sensors is memorized but also the exact ports where they are connected for more security.

Procedure for performing the Factory Reset:

Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu (LED will change yellow)
Press NEXT (Menu Button) five times (5)
Press ENTER (Power Button)

Now your system is ready for the updates.

Step 5

You can bring the USB Memory drive to your vehicle and power on the AL Priority and once all booted up insert the USB Drive and the firmware file will start to load and it will look similar to the following:


http://youtu.be/89BWZH7Fts8

After your ALP installs the firmware it will reboot and load the Setup file. After restarted up you will have to press the power button and turn the unit OFF and once OFF press the power button and turn it back on and it will load the last file which is the Control Set firmware and this only takes a few seconds and will reboot and you are done and you can remove the USB Drive.

If your ALP Led is blinking Green you are in Parking Only Mode, If it is blinking Blue its in Defense Mode. Please note that it can take 1 minute for the ALP to go into defense model when LID time is not set to Unlimited. This is because there is a 1 minute timer used after restart and after a LID shutdown before the system re-activates in defense mode.

If at any time in the future you change your configuration (Add or remove any sensors) you will need to repeat step (STEP 4 - Factory Reset) so that your ALP can relearn the amount of heads attached and their positions. The Factory Reset will also reset your settings file to the default settings so you will have to also re-load your settings file after every Factory Reset.

can we have every thing put in here, like a flow chart,the down loads are all over, do this do that, eg can you also put all these alp.net , u*******.bin then we have ucset.bin onthe stick at the same time, seems like do this first that second etc ,or have they to be done one at time and wiping the first to do the next, geez , this does, mi head in, how many things go on the stick and in what order thx, and how do you confirm it's actually down loaded

[TurboDriver]

Question -- When I downloaded the Firmware it is in the format of u#######.bin (the numbers are my serial number). Do I need to rename it to ucset.bin?

[64pvolvo1800]

Allow it to name the updates. The setup file is the only one to rename if it adds anything else to the name such as 1/2 etc

[BestRadarDetectors]

Question -- When I downloaded the Firmware it is in the format of u#######.bin (the numbers are my serial number). Do I need to rename it to ucset.bin?

No, You leave the file exactly as is with your serial number. The firmware you download is specific for your CPU. ucset.bin is a firmware update for the control set (Controller) you can put all 3 files on the same memory card. CPU Firmware, Control Set Firmware & Settings File. The above guide was created before the Control Module needed firmware updates.

[TurboDriver]

Ok, now I have it...

There are 3 files - setup.alp for the CONTROL (control set) settings such as brightness, volume, type of operation, LID time, etc. u#####.bin for firmware of CPU (control box), and ucset.alp for the CONTROL (control set) "firmware".

There is also the Use and Statistics file (which is actually the setup.alp file) that can be downloaded from your ALP CPU to an USB and then loaded on your computer for analysis.

Plus----Don't forget to Register your unit with ALP before you download the Firmware or it will not work.

Thanks for the support.

Correct. After turning on for the first time and inserting the USB Memory Stock the cpu firmware will update first and take around 60 seconds and when done the unit will reboot. Once it starts back up turn the unit off with the power button and turn then turn it back on and the other files will get processed.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Updated first post to reflect current update procedure with updating the CPU Firmware, Control Set Firmware and Loading Setup File.

[wolfpacal]

The only difference I see now; compared to the instructions posted by Mirage, and the way I updated is;

1 - With system powered on, plug in USB drive, let it update - takes around 60 secs (.bin file)
2 - Perform a factory reset with the controller
3 - Power down the system and re-start - 2nd file will now load (ucset file)
4 - Power off and on again,
5 - Load final file (setup) and re-start, and you're good to go.

BRD, is the way I posted above not correct anymore? Getting my Dual installed tomorrow morning.

Thanks!

[Holla]

I just registered my Unit and did the downloads, I could only find 2 to download-- I have on my mem stick
Plus is it OK just to leave all the sensors ON in the setup file even though I only have 4?

UXXXXXX.bin
setup.alp

thats it--Im I missing a 3rd file?

Yes, Update all 3 unless you are exclusively using the Bluetooth Module and not using the Control Module.

[Qui-Gon]

This might seem like a dumb question from one that's late to the party, but which button do you push on the Control Set to kill the ALP during an alert? I was planning on setting jam time to UNLIMITED.

Either button during a laser alert will kill it.

Alpe will not update download new software Plus controlled download software and set up having issues Im ising fat32 sandisk memo stick .. email or pm need help. .

Bone512003@yahoo.com

[Dr86]

I have same problem. I downloaded all firmware and controller updates correctly and tried 4 different USB keys. The first time I did it, it did go through the firmware upgrade sequence (different colored flashing lights and restart); however, it would not change the setting so I knew something was wrong. After this, it would not upgrade firmware or even recognize any of my USB keys. I just saw this thread now, and read something about having to register with ALP first before upgrading firmware. I did not do that. Is that the issue? Why did it run the upgrade sequence the first time I inserted a USB key ever, but not thereafter? I have emailed ALP and subsequently registered, but still waiting for reply. My unit flashes green then switches to blue out of the box, by the way. Thanks!

Kool-Bezo's issue was that files were not in the root directory. Yours sounds like your serial number was not activated. Please register your unit on the AL Priority home page: http://www.alpriority.com and click on Registration at the bottom.
What exactly is the LED doing when you plug in the USB Drive?

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?

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:

1582

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.

The page states that the file should be named Setup.alp and you have it without the capitol letter S, dunno if that matters tho.

I didn't change the name of the file, I just downloaded onto my USB key whatever it was straight from ALP's website. Thanks for the suggestion though.

[Qui-Gon]

BRD, is it recommended that ANY time you do a firmware/control set update or change the setup parameters, should you do a factory reset again?

Yes, I would run a factory reset to make sure your sensor positions are always current after a firmware update.

Do you need to do this if you're just updating your setup preferences, i.e. PRO Mode, LID time, DARK mode, etc.?

[kasher1979]

Is it not possible to just hook your computer straight to the CPU and update it as you do the LIs or is it necessary to use a flash drive?

Sorry I am sure I am going to be asking a lot of dumb questions over the next while since I just ordered my ALP and will be doing plenty of research to get ready for it.

Any chance you are mixing up the next and enter buttons when using 722 for stats, don't ask how I know that's possible ;)

Nope, because I get into the service menu (white led) and right beep sounds after I enter each 2. Except at the end, instead of blue blink indicating stats downloaded, I get a red blink.

No such thing as a dumb question, dude. Look at me, asking all sorts of questions (I'm a new owner myself)! Your question I would defer to BRD.

The advantage is that you only have to bring the flash drive out to your car to update, instead of a laptop, USB-Serial cable, etc. Makes updating easier, though not quite as real-time, since you have to do your settings/firmware on a computer, then copy to a flash drive and bring out to the car.

Also, if you use the USB extender that comes with the ALP, and have the port in an accessible spot, you can bury the CPU in the dash and you don't have to pull things apart to get at it to do updates.

Hopefully down the road the Bluetooth app will give you all that capability within the car, no computer or flash drive required.

[Captain Sprocket]

Ok did the install today 3 heads up front factory reset then setup and control set update two for the back cable to short need two extenders put on order did it all still have not registered it yet but doing that as soon as i post this seems to be up to speed.

Hi guys I just got a A new al system and did not do any of the updates before hand did not know they were required :( and everything is buried in the dash. Im using the bluetooth module and don't have the the wired controller hooked up is there anyway to do the update when connected to bluetooth or do you have to have the controller hooked up ? please advise thanks in advance

If your system is running and operating with Bluetooth module then you had an update at some point and would no longer need the control module. If its brand new your installer should have used the Control Module to install the initial updates. If your system is running with the Bluetooth then you should be fine. Whoever installed the system should have installed the USB Extension cable somewhere convenient for you to load updates.

[ultra310x]

I installed it myself. i ran the update cable i did not do any updates initially i just plugged everything and powered it up. I don't think its operating as the car does not turn blue and the parking sensors don't even seem to work I downloaded the update to a usb and plugged it in but again it does not appear to have done anything different. when i turn the system on it blinks the led a few times and thats about it my phone connects to the system or at least the bluetooth module but not really anything else ? confused

You need to connect the Control Module and do the updates as described above. Once unit is updated the firmware will now fully recognize the Bluetooth module and you will not need the Control module any longer but for the first update you will need to connect the Control Module.

[indytoatl]

I installed an ALP system yesterday for a friend and it went smooth. I download the firmware, control software and settings file with his serial number but I did not complete the factory reset step.
I have a question about the factory reset. Is it still required for the latest firmware? It seemed to updated without the reset but I want to be sure.

Factory Reset lets the system know the install is done and that it needs to memorize all the sensor locations. Without doing it if you have a sensor failure you will never know since you never did the reset to tell the ALP your install is set. Once you do the factory reset just reload the settings file and you will be good to go and if you have a sensor error in the future the ALP will let you know and also tell you which sensor is having the issue.

[mikedotd]

I didn't see this mentioned in the first post or the rest of the thread, but if you have the HiFi module make sure you also download the voice pack file. I just spent about an hour banging my head on why I was only hearing loud beeps. :)

Yup.....might be good to add that to post 1.

[dmlgc]

I have followed all "First Steps Required After Installing Your AL Priority System " but I never get reboot - "After your ALP installs the firmware it will reboot and load the Setup file"
I have tired many times and never get to a blue light. There are lots of beeps going on and lights flashing but I don't know if they are correct or not.
The install interface needs work , this is the most difficult radar/laser configuration I've come across .

How do I tell the firmware updated correctly ?
How do I tell what is not correct ?

Contacting the manufacturer and having them point me to here does not give me warm fuzzes (no offense to anyone here , from reading you all seem to have lots of knowledge on the product).

I'm sure that to folks that have done this a few times can see the blinking lights and hear the beeps and know what is going on
but lack of documentation leaves noob's to the product wanting to ship it back.

I bought SanDisk Cruzer CZ36 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive, format as msdos-fat, have setup.alp,U4xxxx.bin,UCSET.bin on it.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Post a video and it will help us tell you what the beeps and flashes are.

[dmlgc]

[I]Update:

I emailed movie to Radar Roy and Tom from antilaser. Tom saw movie said there were 7 beeps which meant corrupt firmware file.
He told me too download again and I was able to get it accept all of the firmware.
Thanks to all who helped.

[BillyFred]

Hi, I have installed my own system and am having issues getting it to work. I have a quad system with stir-r add on, currently my install is 90% done, I have controller resting in temporary location while I test the operation. I have 4 sensors, but only 2 connected at this stage because other 2 require some serious panel work to get installed.

Issues I am having:
1. I cannot find the setup.alp file anywhere on alpupdate, I have config.alp instead. Is that the new name being used, or do I need to rename it to setup.alp?
2. On ALP Connect I only have limited menu options available. In the "System Info" menu I can only see the ALP Connect version, but firmware, region etc are all unavailable. So I must be missing something in the install process.

Thanks
M

[BestRadarDetectors]

1. Yes, Setup.alp files are no longer used. Config.alp are the new setup files.

2. Until you update the firmware on a new unit the BT Modules will not recognize the ALP.

Cheers. Further information to the above, I followed all steps in this thread. The main issue I have is that after start up, the light flashes blue for about 3 seconds then breaks out into 5 solid red beeps which I assume are error codes.

Having followed the steps here exactly, I figure there is something possibly registration related. I registered today, and put in sensor serial number for all 4 sensors. Question:

1. Am I supposed to wait some period of time between registering and creating a U****** file?
2. Am I supposed to accurately assign sensor serial numbers to the correct controller port as per what ever I registered on ALP website?

I have no idea which sensors I assigned to which port compared to my actual install.

Thanks

Try a different USB Thumbdrive, Make sure its a real USB 2.0 Drive formatted Fat 32 not a USB 3.0 and the smaller the size the better.

Thanks, I will.

Have you ever encountered issues with sensors only working in specific ports, or are the fine to interchange? Not sure if it's the reason I'm getting the error codes.

Also I went out for a drive and the radar detector seems to be working through the hand control, but will not work properly with Connect. I can find the device and submit the PIN to connect (using HTC handset), but appears to have no proper functionality. I made some videos that show the issues, I will put on YouTube soon.

Thanks

Sensors need to be in the correct ports and when moving sensors to different ports you need to do a memorize sensors command. If you have 2 ports up front they need to be in ports F1 & F2. If you have 3 up front they need to be in F1, F2 & F3 with F2 in the center.

Also make sure you are using the latest version of ALP Connect. Do you have the new or old BT module. If new verify you have the controller in the controller port and not the CPU port.
