Please remember to visit http://www.alpupdate.com and you will need 2 updates (Main Firmware & Control Set Firmware) and 1 setup file. Initially use the Control Module (Not Bluetooth) and can put all 3 files on a blank USB Memory stick and insert the Memory stick and turn on the ALP. It will first update the firmware (Around 60 seconds or so) and then it will reboot. Once powered back on turn it off using the power button on the control module and immediately turn back on. Once powered back on it will update the control set and then load your settings file.

You are then good to go and you can switch to the Bluetooth Module if you want. Once the heads are all installed in ALP Connect under settings hit the Reset Defaults button so that the ALP will memorize your sensor positions. Let us know if you have any issues.

Congrats on your new purchase!!! BRD is the way to go if you're in the States. Post some photos of the install and most importantly, get it tested before you go out in the wild!

Fronts are installed, Bluetooth and app are up and running. Successfully passed my marksman test tonight with JTG. This weekend's mission is to figure out the rear placement and wire routing.

Double check the heads and make sure they are pointing straight forward. They appear to be following the lines of the grille which is not optimal.

If you cant shim them use the mounting brackets and bend them to keep the heads level and square.

One easy way to check is to take a picture with a good flash camera and make sure you can see the flat reflection on the head. Also make sure you are standing directly in front of the car dead center! :)
