AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[kimberdan]

You found the only bug that we realized with the new firmware. Nothing is wrong with your setup but the ports were accidentally reversed when a check sensor is called (This was already correctly and will be fixed in the next upcoming update in a few weeks). F1 is listed as F3 and vise versa and R1 is listed as R2 and vise versa. In order to make the system act only as parking sensors when traveling under a pre-set speed you need to have the GPS added to the system. If you have GPS attached it will also only ignore alerts if a GPS signal is present. If it does not have a lock it will Jam to make sure you are protected if you lose GPS Signal so if testing in a garage etc with no GPS signal the unit will Jam.
Well thats good, As long as i am protected, I dont care what is says LoL.... As for as the GPS thing, I understand now.. Thank you or clearing that up...

[kimberdan]

ok now when i go in to change the volume the LED changes to red/blue and stays lit. I now have no volume number it just says volume weather i press it up or down and if i hit the buttons like you stated to do, it will either go in to muted or fog lights.. To get the volume menu to come up i have to press both of the buttons just the right way and then hit the power button again to get the volume option to come up
Tom tell me im doing something wrong, LoL
I have gone back and reloaded the entire software including the up date voice packs etc etc.. still nothing...

When you press both buttons and hold them you do not get the PINK LED? Once the LED turns pink the Power button = Lower and the Menu Button = Higher. Try again. I just tested and it works fine with the new firmware.

[OrlNmE]

Mine doesn't say the number of volume anymore which I did like. Also, I think I asked about this before, but is it possible for one of the future updates to flash a different color on the control module to let you know your ALP is muted? I sometimes mute it when backing up and forget to turn it back on because the blue LED shows it active like defense mode.

[kimberdan]

Spoke with Tom and got it all taken care of, I was just used to getting an audio alert that says volume and now that i dont i was unclear if i was in the menu for the volume... It might seem petty but i to kinda like the volume with the number..
But again like i have already said as long as it works that all i care about :courage:

Details of the 5.1.1 update: (04/24/15)

Control Box Firmware update

Release 5.1.1/6.1

1. Various bug fixes and stability improvements (PDC, Counters, HiFi support, GPS, Demo mode etc.).
2. Self-test routine improved.
3. Laser support improved - Important update for users in USA and Hungary!
4. Initial Release to Support the Valentine 1 radar detector connection over the newly released RG Plugin 2. When connected the V1 alerts will be announced over the ALP system and the V1 can be setup over the alpupdate website. This option is ONLY available with the NEW RG Plugin 2!
5. New selectable option is available: After LID timeout. Select between two options. If DLI & Warm-up is selected, the ALP will switch to detect only mode after the LID timer (3-9 seconds) times-out during a Laser alert. It will remain in detect only mode as long as you are being actively targeted, and then it will go into a warm-up. If Warm-up is selected, the system will go into a 60 seconds of warm-up mode before it reactivates detection and/or defense again.
6. New selectable option is available: Menu button short press function. Short press of the Menu button can now have several functions: Fog lights, None and Force parking only. Use Fog lights (default) to turn the Fog lights on/off on the ALP sensor version with Fog lights; use None for the short press to have no action; use Force parking only to change between your active Setup and Forced PDC only mode.
7. New selectable option is available: Lock Volume of Laser alerts. Volume of Laser alerts can now be set to predefined level independently of the Master Volume level. If locked, changing the Master Volume (purple menu) will not change the Laser volume as it will remain locked to it's predefined value.
8. New selectable option is available: Lock Volume of Radar alerts. Volume of Radar alerts can now be set to predefined level independently of the Master Volume level. If locked, changing the Master Volume (purple menu) will not change the Radar volume as it will remain locked to it's predefined value.
9. New selectable option is available: Bellow selected LID Speed Limit for users with the GPS receiver installed. This option alows to select which mode will the system be in when car is driving bellow the speed defined as a speed for activating laser defense. When driving bellow selected LID speed limit it can be set to remain in PDC only OR in DLI (Detecting laser) mode.
10. New Service code is available 4-5-6: Erase the HiFi Voicepack. It can be activated manually: Enter Service code Menu (Yellow 7). LED will turn white. Press Next 4 times then Enter. Press Next 5 times then Enter. Press Next 6 times then Enter. System will erase the HiFi Control Set’s Voicepack memory & the HiFi Control Set will revert to tones only.

And when can I order the RG Plugin 2?

[BestRadarDetectors]

And when can I order the RG Plugin 2?

We have them in stock and will put them on the website by Monday to purchase them.

[kimberdan]

I did the update but it is saying that it is software 454? Does this sound right?

[wirelessandy]

Is a new Control Set download needed for this latest 5.1.1 if I'm already up to date? Firmware page still says "Present version 3.5; 2014-12-22" for Control Set.

There is no new control set update. Only new firmware update to 5.1.1.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Try again tomorrow or wait till you get the email from AL to update.

[Barry626]

I updated the firmware to 5.1.1 today & all went GREAT!
I did a factory reset and loaded all 3 files onto USB drive, setup, control & 5.1.1 firmware.

I still have same problem I had with last firmware 4.5.4 with the bluetooth dropping?
When I upgraded my phone software from 4.4.2 to lollipop 5.0.1 my bluetooth keeps discounting.
This is ok for now as I bought second phone for this very issue and all works PERFECT!

[wolfpacal]

Tom, when downloading and installing multiple new files to the USB drive, after the initial install, do you have to power cycle the ALP system only once, or would you need to power cycle two times for two new files? Three times for three new files etc. Just curious.

Pretty sure it reboots on its own now and moves on to the next file automatically.

[Tman]

Tom , just to make 100% sure :

being in Unlimited , choosing : ''force parking only'' for the short press menu button.

SCENARIO of a fast JTK :
Under being targetted , i press the menu button : the system falls in receive only and keeps announcing the gun id .

Side note :

The update went flawlessly.

Frankly, I put all 3 files on my USB drive & let it load.
Once I got the constant blue flashing light I turned it off & back on again 1 time ONLY. All is working great with exception that I can't use my bluetooth module because of 5.0.1 firmware on my cell phone.

[Tman]

I just notice that my system does not differenciate Front\Rear shots .

When i shoot at the rear it says Front . I did a restore and memorize sensors but no change .

What should i do\check ?

I physically disconnected\re-connected the sensors , re-did a restore , and definitively there is something wrong with my 5.1.1 ,
shooting front = front alert
shooting rear = front alert

And before the update , all was normal .

[BestRadarDetectors]

It's a bug in the new firmware alerts. It does not effect performance.

I just got done with mine and was scratching my head because of just this same thing... lol

Glad to know i was not alone or that i did something wrong .

Thanks Tom , at least we know that it is a known bug , and nothing to worry\sweat about .

[Holla]

Yep I found this out a few days ago and alerted Tom, mine does it to

[awj223]

Is there a bug in the LED color, or is it only in the announcements? If there's actually a LED color bug, then I'll probably wait until this is resolved before updating.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Is there a bug in the LED color, or is it only in the announcements? If there's actually a LED color bug, then I'll probably wait until this is resolved before updating.

The issue only effects original CPU's, the 2nd generation V2 CPU's are not effected by the bug. We will have a new update to correct this shortly. On the original CPU's rear hits will have the same RED color LED & Front Alert notifications when hit in the rear.

[Holla]

Tom--

Whats the major difference in the V2 CPU's, is it something we should maybe upgrade too?

Question: I have a 1st gen CPU. Do you mean when working PROPERLY, front and rear alerts are red? I didn't know the yellow-for-rear-hits was a V2-only feature.

[kimberdan]

I have the v1 and when hit from the front the led is blje and red from the rear.... i think tom is stating that the bug only effects the v1 so that weather your hit from the front or the rear your led wi be red instead of getting a different color led to tell you visually if its a front or rear hit

Okay...I think I'll hold off on updating the ALP for now then.

[dinkydi]

done the latest fw thats ok, but do i still need to update the original not used controller, using bt, gps,and apple phone,not running the the new HIFI ?

If you are using BT there is no need to update the regular controllers if you are not using them.

[FatLazyDog]

Not seeing the RG Plugin 2 being specifically called out on the web site as a new version. Is it available to order and I am simply missing it somehow?

[BestRadarDetectors]

Not yet... We will add it shortly. We are still burning through old inventory which is for the Sti-R Plus & 9500CI's antennas.

[imjammin]

I updated my firmware to the latest, and now the warm up self test never passes. Any idea why this would happen? It behaves like I am near a wall when I start it up. It just goes red and beeps continuously.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Probably because the new self check is more detailed to catch issues and not let you drive off thinking you are protected if it finds an issue. If its beeping a continuous 2 beeps and does not stop its either because all your sensors on one side of the vehicle are blocked or you have a sensor failure. You need to disconnect one sensor at a time until the alert stops and you will be able to troubleshoot which sensor is tripping the error.

[wirelessandy]

No, The Bug noted above with the latest update only effected the original generation CPU's.

Confirmed. Just installed rear sensors tonight. Rear hits show as red with 1st gen CPU.

Tom, I have not yet downloaded the 3/24/15 firmware upgrades to my ALP system due to the problems some people experienced. When the 5/6/15 Update becomes available, can I just download it to my ALP system, or should I first download the 3/24/15 Upgrade, then download the 5/6/15 Upgrade?

Thanks.

You can go straight to the 5/16 update. Updates do not stack so you only need the latest update to be current.

[wirelessandy]

I see the 5.1.2 update is out. Changes?

[BestRadarDetectors]

I see the 5.1.2 update is out. Changes?

Its not up yet.. The update site is just getting prepared. Please stop jumping the gun and wait until its available for download and we inform everyone that its available..

[wirelessandy]

Will do! Thanks for keeping us updated.

[RedRocket]

I see the 5.1.2 update is out. Changes?A safe bet is to always wait till you receive the eMail notice, or BRD gives the go ahead.

[wirelessandy]

Very glad to know!

[Qui-Gon]

Oops, then. I updated, system says the correct firmware is installed (5.1.2), but keeps asking me to update the voice pack which I thought I did.

I sent you the required matching voice pack needed for this update. For everyone else first thing in the morning you will be able to download and install this update. I will post notes in the morning but this is an important update and especially more important for anyone that is in an area where Dragon Eye guns are used. Please do not skip over this update.

LOL.. 12 Hours from now. :)

[ApexOnYou]

Got nosey and checked the update page out. "Zero to sixty" mode? Shut up and take my money!!!

[BestRadarDetectors]

Got nosey and checked the update page out. "Zero to sixty" mode? Shut up and take my money!!!

LOL.. Yeah.. Certainly not what's important about the update but I guess one of the engineers squeezed this feature in with the update. In order to use this 0-60 Feature you need the HiFi Controller and the attached GPS Antenna.

New Service code (Yellow-7) is available: 321(service code - white menu) will initiate a special mode called “Zero to Sixty”. This mode will temporary turn your ALP system into a performance meter (like a VBOX) able to measure your vehicles acceleration time from 0 mph to 60 mph. Mode only works if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.

There are some bug fixes like the Front/Rear LED & Alert issue as well as some important changes to the DragonEye algo which is very important to anyone that experiences these guns.

[RedRocket]

New Firmware & Voice Packs are online now. Please update and let me know if you have any issues updating.

[kimberdan]

Hey for everyone, since in the past the up dates took a little while to up load to the cpu, this one takes a little as well.
So be patient, mine took about 3 minutes and it felt like 10 lol
Just let it go u till you get the blue flashing light and when it goes out you will get a beep when it goes off and youre all set.
Tom if im wrong please correct me... this was how my update went

EDIT: Tom i went thru all the steps and re down loaded all the new software and all i get is parking mode, It will not go into defence mode...? Anything

Its actually 6 minutes.. (5 Minutes Voice Pack + 1 Minute Firmware Update) - You will also need to re-load your setup file.

[Holla]

All completed, now I have whether its a Front/Rear ambush lol

[kimberdan]

Ok i guess the 3rd times a charm... tom when im in silent power up did we loose the (active) all i get now is a beep with a blue light.. when im not in silent power the audio is that as it has always been?

[emoji107] i liked it, oh well i will just have to retrain my brain .. yes tom i understand you cant please everyone... the most important thing is that it works like it should..

[wolfpacal]

Just did the update, six minutes and all is good!

[Vortex]

Update went well here too! Voice pack took a couple min like you said. Thanks for the heads up about that needing to be done. I love that the "Active!" can be removed now. My future passengers and I thank you. ;)

[Tman]

Same here : all fine ...time to prepare a coffee and voilà.

I did'nt have to reset my setup.

Thanks Tom and Alp Team.

Tom can you elaborate in which way it is now more effective , due the Tx shoot out findings.

[dinkydi]

yep all good here :encouragement:

[Barry626]

Did factory reset & loaded all 3 files. Control * Setup * Firmware. All went GREAT!

Another +1 for the update.
I put all 3 files on USB and it did voicepack, firmware then reboot itself and went to blue mode, didnt get the saving files like normal for the setup but it seems to have loaded them.

[Nicholat]

Good here also, look forward to test this Sunday in Atlanta.

[PAPACUCU]

Hello Tom
Thanks for keeping things current
Excellent customer service and product support, as usual.
My question ..
I have not updated since 12-22-14
When bringing my ALP (with Hi fi) up to date should I install every update in sequence, or will installing the latest update include those I have not done?
Take care
Ed

No, You just need the latest version. The latest update always includes all previous updates in the one update.

[radargeek]

Really?/ I've never had an issue with my upgradeable units from ER. I know that LIVE droid is an issue (still), BUT updates have always been pretty seamless from ER. What updates has V1 offered online where you didn't have to send in the unit??

[Clint Eastwood]

I updated everything a few hours ago... one puzzle. I have it setup silent startup. When it finally goes into defense mode (much longer than before... seems like maybe a minute) it makes a little drum beat sort of sound... but as I drove it did the little drum noise again another minute after that.. not sure what that was about.

[tawwwd]

Did you enable skip first warm up? That would probably be your minute delay

[Clint Eastwood]

Did you enable skip first warm up? That would probably be your minute delay

Well there appears to be 2 - 1 minute delays. I did not change anything other than use defaults, silent startup. After 1 minute, the light goes purple and does that drum beat... then another minute - another drum beat. I was already driving down the road when I heard the second one and thought... what is that?

I have it recorded on dash cam audio.

[Clint Eastwood]

For the record, that double-init issue I had the other day has not occurred again. Must of been some glitch.

[CommandrKeen]

A couple comments on the new update.

After updating, when I press both buttons on the hifi control set, I no longer go into menu mode. Nothing happens. I've tried short presses of both buttons and long presses of both buttons. Even tried short and long presses of each button individually. I can't seem to get into the menu options any more. Anyone else experience this, or perhaps I am doing something wrong?

Second comment is do most people perform the self test at startup? I have always turned it off, but wonder now if that is a best practice.

Both Buttons is only to adjust the volume. To go into the menu you just need to press and hold the menu button.

[CommandrKeen]

Sorry, I should have stated that I was trying to adjust the volume. When I put the setup file on the USB, I set the volume to 5. This is way too loud, so I wanted to adjust down to 4 or possibly 3. I can't do this with the control set. My bad, I thought both buttons also got you into the menu. I'm still new to the Hi-Fi as I previously only used the BT module.

Even still, holding the menu button won't put me into the menu. The light flashes on the hi-fi control set, but the buttons don't seem to do anything.

Hold both buttons and when the light turns purple release both and then either press the Menu (Up) or Power (Down) and it should say Volume 2, 3, Etc.

[CommandrKeen]

I gave it a try over lunch to confirm and pressing the buttons no longer works on the hi-fi control set following the update. Can I rollback the change and apply again? I reinserted my USB that I updated with a couple days ago and all it did was reload the setup file (I Have a parking mode only setup that I can plug in when needed), but did not reapply the firmware. Any help is appreciated.

Did you ever update the firmware on the HiFi Controller since you purchased it? Not talking about the CPU Firmware.

I did download and apply the ucsthifi.bin file. I think I know what the problem may be, and will have to test it after work today. I use the same USB stick for all my ALP files. I had both the original control set file and the ucsthifi.bin files loaded on the stick. I wonder if having both files on the USB stick caused some confusion. I re-downloaded my firmware, ucsthifi.bin, voicepck.alp, and setup.alp files and deleted the old control set file. I'll let you know if this solves the problem.

Yea thats been there since day one I think--from what I remember when I was running B/T

[dinkydi]

ok thx seen a lot of rd, must have missed the laser, dont run with the plus now ,so only get laser hits now

[CommandrKeen]

I did the update again just now with a freshly downloaded set of files and still the buttons on the hi-fi control set don't work. The led light continues to blink, parking sensors work, laser defense works, just the control set buttons don't. Any suggestions?

Sure thing. I sent a PM with the video.

BRD, as CommandrKeen asked, what's the advantage of performing the warmup at startup? What exactly does it do -- is it just a self-test?

[BestRadarDetectors]

New Update is getting ready to be rolled out. It will take 24-48 hours for everyone's unit to be activated for this update. Please try to wait for the update email informing you that the update is ready for you.

Details of the 5.1.3 update: (07/16/15)

Control Box Firmware update: Release 5.1.3/6.3

1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (Self-test,Voice, Regions, Radars, GPS etc.).
2. Laser interference performance improved for several guns.
3. New Service code Sixty to Zero is available (Yellow 7: 3-2-2). This will temporarily turn your ALP system into a performance meter able to measure your vehicles Braking time from 60 mph to 0 mph. This mode only works if a GPS Antenna is connected and if a HiFi Control Set is used.
4. New Service code Quarter-Mile is available (Yellow-7: 3-2-3). This will temporarily turn your ALP system into a performance meter able to measure your vehicles time to cross a distance of a ¼ mile from a full stop. Time in seconds and exit speed in mph is given as a result. This mode only works if a GPS Antenna is connected and if a HiFi Control Set is used.
5. Initial Release to Support “Over the Air” OTA wireless firmware updates of the ALP system over the ALPConnect® smartphone app. The latest ALP BT Module is required! The 5.1.3 firmware update needs to be applied via USB flash drive and only then will future updates be possible on the OTA feature of the ALPConnect!
6. Support for German and Hungarian Voicepacks for the ALP HiFi Control Set (must download voicepack separately!).
7. New selectable option: GPS signal lost - voice warning. It can be set to announce loss of GPS lock: every time, during longer absence of signal, or only the first time it happens.
8. New feature, Get Serial Number of your ALP Control Box to a USB. Insert a USB flash drive containing an empty "getsn.alp" file on it and the ALP will write an "sn.alp" file containing the serial number onto the USB drive.

Control Set firmware update 3.6
1. Volume of radar alerts during AutoMute muting is louder

ALPConnect - Android Ver 1.4A
1. Minor bug fixes.
2. ALP GPS Antenna can be used as a Speedometer.
3. Supports OTA Firmware updates.

[Nanook]

Outstanding ongoing technological advancements...cutting edge :thumb:

[BestRadarDetectors]

IMPORTANT thing to note about new update is that there is again improved self-test diagnostics to try to inform you of issues before they occur.

After this update the he System will notify you if it's hardware configuration has never been memorized. If after uploading the new firmware the System alerts you with fast beeps in the first 5 seconds of operation and with a constant red LED light, once the alert has finished you will need to Reset to factory defaults and memorize sensors:

• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT five times (5)
• Press ENTER.
• Then reprogram your System to your desired configuration with your own setup.alp file.
• After doing this you may Count sensors to check if the correct number of sensors has been memorized:
• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT six times (6)
• Press ENTER.
• The System will let you know the number of connected sensors.

OK i did the up date and installed all new files, It went thru the up dates and everything went fine, 1 thing that i noticed is that i no longer get a visual blinking light when im being hit with lidar.
After the alert the lite flashs blue but nothing else.
I have gone thru the menu and changed the LED mode to each one of the settings and it still only lights up when the alert is no longer there and only blue.
Any help?

[BestRadarDetectors]

There was never a blinking light when hit. You were probably in Pro Mode and in Pro Mode the light will flicker based on the received signal strenght.

Tom, Even when i go back and look at my videos it show the LED flash red when i get hit in the front with the Dragon.. Now when i boot the system up the color the LED flashs is Blue and thats it...Im i crazy? LoL

[syrinx]

New selectable option is available: After LID timeout. Select between two options. If DLI & Warm-up is selected, the ALP will switch to detect only mode after the LID timer (3-9 seconds) times-out during a Laser alert. It will remain in detect only mode as long as you are being actively targeted, and then it will go into a warm-up. If Warm-up is selected, the system will go into a 60 seconds of warm-up mode before it reactivates detection and/or defense again.

I'm not able to bring easily the cables from the rear trunk to the front seats. So I want to install 2 unit boxes, one for the front (2 heads), one in the rear (2 heads) which will will stay in the trunk.

As I believe it's not possible to handle 2 boxes together with the Bluetooth, I can't switch off the rear box when I've slowed down the speed.

I would like to set a maximum duration for the jamming about 5 seconds. Is it possible?

You can set the max LID time to 5 seconds, no problem. 4 seconds is better, and if you can kill it even faster that's even better still.

[syrinx]

In the CPU, is there a buzzer to warn me? Or should I buy the HiFi module?

About the warm-up time without jamming, is it possible to set to more than 60 seconds?

Thanks for help.

The standard controller has a speaker built into the controller. When you turn it on your should hear the startup tones from the speaker inside the controller. Warm-up can only be set to be skipped or 60 seconds.

[syrinx]

Is it possible to have an autostart of the CPU without (BT)? The CPU is in the trunk!

[BestRadarDetectors]

You need either a controller or BT connected to turn on the system. If you have CPU connected to a switched power circuit it will turn on and off w I think the key. If using BT the phone must be running for it to start up.

1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (USB, GPS etc.).
2. Algorithm tuned for better support of some LIDARs.
3. New Option in yellow menu is available (Yellow-9) “Performance Tests”. This Option will open a sub-menu for all performance tests available in the ALP. Option is available only if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
4. New Performance Test has been added “Lap Time” (Yellow-9). This will temporary turn your ALP system into a GPS Lap Time stopwatch and measure your vehicles time over a full lap. Time in minutes and seconds is given as a result. Mode only works if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
5. Improved filtering against foreign LCC equipped cars (Volvo, Infinity, VW, Honda, Mazda,…). LCC cars especially behind you will no longer start a false alert
6. Option Manual Sensors Check (Yellow-6) will perform memorize sensors similarly like the Restore Defaults option but without the defaulting your settings.

The main site to regenerate the configuration files (which I always like to do when a new FW is released to make sure I'm not missing any new features) appears to have a sort of bug. When you load a current version of the configuration file (with all of the options that currently exist in the system), it will happily generate a new setup.alp file for you. But if you load an older setup.alp with the intention of taking all of your old features, selecting your desired configuration on anything new, and generating a new setup.alp, then after you click "Save & Download", it goes back to the firmware setup page instead of the page to download the newly generated setup.alp file. Therefore, to generate a new setup.alp file, I had to load the old configuration in one browser tab, start selecting the options in a second browser tab, and switch between the two tabs to make sure that both of them were configured the same.

There have been new features added and even some more on the way. Its best to create a new file from scratch and only use an existing file if you are only making changes not between firmware updates.

[Nicholat]

I installed the new FW using my BT, boy it go's slow. It went to 100% completion without any problems. When I switch back to HIFI mode, and did a power up, it is telling me to update the voice pack.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Yes, It will take anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes depending on your Internet connection. During this time the system will work 100% as normal so you can drive and do your thing while the update in downloading and transferring in the background.

The current firmware update if you are using HiFi will also require a voice pack update. You will need to do that separately.

Eventually you will have all settings via BT. Its a work in progress and you need to take one step at a time.

I did a print setting after my update and got the following results. What is the correct Control set FW version for the HIFI. I see you had labeled newest version as Control Box Firmware update: Release 5.1.4/6.4 Not sure if I am following this correctly but I guessing 6.4 is for the non-HIFI controller

Firmware version 5.1.4

Curious to learn what is the ''performance test '' in yellow menu last hit ?

They are vehicle performance tests and really have nothing to do with ALP Performance if you are getting that confiused, Really just giving some more features to give more functionality to your parking system. Performance Tests in the Yellow menu opens a Sub-menu for all performance tests available;

Zero to sixty;
Sixty to Zero;
Quarter Mile
Lap Time.

Lap Time is a New Performance Test. It will temporarily turn your ALP system into a GPS Lap Time stopwatch, and will measure a vehicle's time over a full lap.

Performance Tests are ONLY available if a GPS antenna and a HiFi Control set are used.

I was able to update my system today via Bluetooth. Choose "Firmware Update" from the ALP Phone App, File downloaded and then it updated the ALP Controller. Painless!! ALP is THE BEST!!!

if not using HIFI do i need to do both or just control box ?, info via dgc email

WHEN UPDATING YOUR SYSTEM, DOWNLOAD BOTH THE CONTROL BOX AND CONTROL SET UPDATES AND STORE TO A USB STICK. HiFi USERS MUST ALSO DOWNLOAD THE NEW VOICEPACK.
BLUETOOTH USERS: NOTE THAT THE CONTROL SET CAN NOT BE UPDATED IF THE CONTROL SET IS NOT PLUGGED INTO THE CONTROL BOX DURING THE UPDATE.

Control Box firmware update (14.12.2015)
Release 5.2.1/6.5

1. Advanced LCC filtering: enabling ALP installation into cars equipped with LCC systems (Laser Cruise control/Laser brake assistants/LaserAntiCrash) such as: Volvo, Mazda, Infinity and others. It will be necessary to properly select your type of vehicle on the configuration web site to enable additional filtering in the ALP unit.
2. Configuration Profiles! Double-click the Menu button to change between stored A, B or C Profiles. The selected Profile will be announced by voice over the HiFi Control set. This feature is only available on systems with HiFi Controllers. Modify each Profile to your preference on the alpupdate.com website.
3. Instead of the old SETUP.alp file format the ALPriority now uses the CONFIG.alp and STATS.alp files. The alpupdate.com website will create a CONFIG.alp file to transport your configuration to the ALP. When saving statistics from your ALP to a USB flash drive your ALP will create a STATS.alp file and a CONFIG.alp file. When sending your Statistics for support questions, send in your STATS.alp file only.
4. Laser support improved
5. Added support for the Radenso HD+ radar antenna
6. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (Radar antennas, etc.).

[radargeek]

Will our existing setup.alp files we have on USB sticks now continue to work with this new firmware or do we have to create new ones?

Just trying out the configuration website now to see how it works. The ability to copy one profile to another is there, nice! Looks like old setup.alp files can be uploaded as well.

You need to load a new Config.alp file with this update. If you do not want to use profiles dont choose the option on the setup website but the file structure has changed so going forward you will need to load a new configuration file.

If LED changes colors, you would know what profile you were in, so not sure where the confusion would be. It would be good if the LED would remain Cyan or Magenta instead of reverting back to blue, thus make it easy to tell what profile you are in at all times. In HiFi, does the system announce what Profile you are in at startup?

You think of this as an enthusiast with alot of knowledge. The problem is enthusiasts are less than 2% of the business and over 50% of the users have trouble even downloading a file from their PC to a USB Drive. To the average user the system is getting too complicated as it is then to remember what color they saw when they tapped a button by accident. ALP will not announce the profile at startup and it will just remember what profile you chose when the system was last on.

[radargeek]

If you have a PDC-only or DLI-only profile, you'll know when you're in those based on the LED color.

If you have more than one LID profile, for example, a timed LID one and an unlimited one, here's my magic tip of the day: configure each one with a different LED mode (i.e. steady on one and flashing on the other), that way you'll know which one you're in at all times. On mine I have my timed LID profile with the external LED dark and control set LED dimmed (this is my normal profile and how I prefer the LEDs), while my unlimited profile has both LEDs flashing, so I have a constant reminder that I'm in unlimited.

This idea of using an inexpensive Android to run Alp Connect & Blue tooth appeals to me for many reasons.
It seems to me the Android becomes a dedicated operating screen for ALP Connect

- how the internet then gets accessed for the OTA updates?
- any specific phones to recommend

Thanks I did find it and bookmarked it from post#4.

Ok i am lost ...can someone recap what has to be done to be up-to-date.

For what i understand , my system being HiFi , i need to configure like 2 profiles :

A) configure to have Parking Only ''config.alp''
B) configure to have unlimited time to jam : ''config.alp''

I place those 2 ''config.alp'' on my usb.

I download also : voicepck.alp + uXXXXXXX.bin and place them on the same usb . Alp being closed , i place the usb and start the cpu , and wait till process is completed.

Is this right ?

Now how do i switch from profile A to B , and what do i look to know the system status.
( 2. Configuration Profiles! Double-click the Menu button to change between stored A, B or C Profiles. The selected Profile will be announced by voice over the HiFi Control set. This feature is only available on systems with HiFi Controllers. )
I mean aside the voice announcement , do we still have the led color (green/red) on the control box to show us the status ?

I know it sounds weird coming fom an old timer ...just i want to make sure i dont miss a step .

Thanks.

[radargeek]

The HiFi voice announces which profile you're selecting when you double-click the menu button. The LED shows blue, cyan or magenta briefly but then it reverts back to the LED color for the mode you're in (PDC, DLI, or LID).

If you have a timed LID profile and an unlimited LID profile, I recommend setting the LED to flashing on one and steady on the other, so you'll know which one you're in.

[Tman]

Since the update , it seems my setting for the external led is lost , before it stayed off and lighted only under alert , setting was '' dark mode/ dimmed ''.


Using the same setting , now the led is dimmed but always on ?? Someone noticed the same behavior ?

You have the settings wrong on the config.alp file. There is no system changes with the last update that would effect the LED. If you dont want to use Profiles do not choose the Profile option on the top right of the configuration page.

[Tman]

Ok very fine Tom , i will re-do it . At first i did'nt notice the opt-in for the profile ...i taught i had to do 2 config files separately wich did not work as the second one would change for config(2).alp !

Finally i opted for the old fashion way , one key / one config :thumb: as my set-up allows me to change at the flip of a switch.

I did so because once i understood the one config/3 profiles schematic , i loaded it and whatever the profile the control led stayed green on the 3 profiles ...i gave up and harbored to the old and safe known ...getting old i guess.

Thanks for all.

I know I'm late to the game with this update, but, based on what you stated, I can opt-out of profiles? I don't want to use them. If I need to use them as parking sensors, I just pull the USB key from the cable as I have a privacy key file on it at all times.

On the configuration page if you want to use profiles you enable them. You do not need to use them.

Control Box firmware update (12.03.2016)
Release 5.2.2/6.6

1. Added detection of new camera system – ARH Traffic-Spot.
2. Additional LIDAR support improved
3. Added support for the latest ALPConnect app. Profile button has been added to the app.
4. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (Radar antenna, Self-test, Bluetooth, PDC etc.).

Please Note - If you are running Radar Integration you MUST load a new configuration file. We are in the process of improving the radar integration process and adding support for additional 3rd party radar antennas. Settings for previous radar settings will be erased after this firmware update so you must load a new configuration file after the update is performed. If you update via BT and run radar integration you will lose your radar settings after the update so if you are not in the position to create a new configuration file please hold off on hitting the update button in ALP Connect until you have a configuration file on a USB Stick ready to go.

What is the new Voice Pack called? Gen 7? The alpupdate.com site has not reflected the voicepack name.

Control Box firmware update (12.03.2016)
Release 5.2.2/6.6

[Nanook]

Something odd is occurring..I didn;t think my unit was updating so I pulled a stats.alp but I didn't get a stats.alp file I got a setup.alp file...which I uploaded and gleaned info from..which tells me my fw ver is 5.1.3 and 3.5
This seems very odd as I usually always update regularily
CPU hardware ver 1...1561 cycles..control set FW 3.5..hw 1

Am I doing something amiss as to why the fw will not update properly...do I need a default reset...how many fw versions am I actually behind from 5.1.3 to the current 5.2.2

I'm using a new 64 gig usb3.0 Sandisk memory stick

[BestRadarDetectors]

ALP has not used setup.alp files for months. That file was probably still on your thumb drive or your firmware is quite behind.

You are using an incompatible thumb drive, it needs to be a USB 2.0 drive and smaller than 32gb.

Just pulled my stats file and noticed that this ARH Traffic-Spot is disabled, since there isn't a specific function for this in configuration, how should this be enabled? Or is this a case of disabled for North America by default?

Its not really needed.. We did not want anything to slow down filtering. KA False Alerts are pretty rare and you can use BS if you want to avoid any really close Cobra false KA's.

ok just wanted to make sure it was disabled, that's all.



Now I'm getting GPS antenna disconnected and rear radar antenna disconnected alerts. I've unplugged each and reseated them but am still getting the alerts. I noticed the green light on the RG3 module is not lit.

GPS Antenna needs to be connected to RG3 Module's GPS Port and Antenna 1 in the Front 1 & Rear Ports if you have both antennas. You also need to activate both on the setup page. Each antenna was tested before shipping so you have a configuration issue. Did you also connect the Power Splitter cable?

Yes, OTA Updating is pretty convenient and the ALP is still running and defending while its downloading.

[radargeek]

[modsl55amg]

I just completed loading my two ALP systems and received an unusual verbal warning: CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS.
Both ALP systems have CPU Hardware Version 2.
To two properly formatted USB Flash Drives (that I have used previously with no problems) I downloaded the new ALP Control Box F/W Update 5.2.5/6.8 - Uxxxxxxx.bin, for each individual system, also downloaded on to each flash drive: UCSTHIFI.BIN, VOICEPCK.ALP, CONFIG.ALP (with Profiles A/B/C).

The updates to each system appeared to be progressing normally until almost completed, when the CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS warning was heard.

The sequence of voice messages for each system was:
Data Stored
Firmware Updating
Please Wait
CHECKSUM FAILED, RESTORE DEFAULTS
Data Stored

Both systems have previously had the "Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors" function performed. No sensors have been added or deleted. All 5 sensors on each car alert to my hand when placed near each sensor. When in the Yellow Menu, function #6 "Connected Sensors" states F3, F2, F1, R2, R1.

Question: Should I go into the Yellow Menu, and perform function #5: Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors? Will this take care of the "CHECKSUM FAILED" problem? If I do perform another "Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors", will I have to reload my Configuration Profiles?

Thanks for any advice concerning this CHECKSUM FAILED situation.

[radargeek]

Try doing the Restore Defaults, then reload your configuration. Also see if the firmware updated or not.

If the firmware didn't update, the checksum error was probably due to a corrupt or incorrect firmware file. Try re-downloading and copying it to the USB drive again and see if it works.

Is this a new install of an ALP? Have you registered your serial number yet? Perhaps the update server hasn't updated your firmware file yet.

Thanks radargeek, I'll perform the Restore Defaults and Memorize Sensors function, I didn't want to do it immediately in case the CHECKSUM FAILED problem was caused by something else. I'll also re-format and re-download all four files from the ALP Update website, on to my flash drives, then on to the systems.

I'll also print a Statistic (STATS.ALP) file, which will have the device info and Profile settings on it. In the Yellow Menu, it did state that the firmware version was 5.2.5/6.8, which is the correct new firmware update.

NOT a new install. Both ALP systems 1 year old. I have performed previous updates, since last year, with no problems, such as the CHECKSUM FAILED problem.

Thanks again for your advice, radargeek. I'll post again after I complete another download to the flash drives, then to the systems. It's strange, I never received nor have I ever read anyone receiving a CHECKSUM FAILED warning.

Prior to my receiving a "CHECKSUM FAILED", I downloaded each newly generated file directly from the ALP Update website. (See my post above from 9:02 PM this evening) The Configuration file, with Profiles A/B/C, was also newly generated directly from the ALP website.

My systems do NOT have the new Net radar antenna. All components of both ALP systems are exactly the same as they were for the last three or four Control Box updates.

winterbrew.....did you also download ALL of your files directly from the ALP Update website? Or did you download only the new ALP Control Box firmware 5.2.5/6.8 file? Its interesting that we both had the same verbal warning, that I have never heard before.

Does not matter. Just run a factory reset and load new configuration file and you will be good to go.

I performed a "Reset Defaults and Memorize Sensors" on both ALP systems. I then inserted the flash drive into each ALP system's USB port. System said "Data Stored" within a couple of seconds. I checked all functions possible via the Yellow Menu....all were what I had selected/downloaded. I then performed the "Print Use and Statistics" function for both systems, printed the results, and compared them to the Configuration file with 3 Profiles which I had downloaded. All device information and Profile A/B/C Settings match exactly what I had selected. I don't know what caused the CHECKSUM FAILED message, but everything appears normal and OK. I'll probably be checking one of my car's ALP systems in the near future to verify the system is operating correctly and providing maximum protection.

Thanks for the advice.

I received the checksum error when I first installed the firmware update. I downloaded a fresh copy of the new firmware a second time but it did not reinstall after plugging the USB stick into the control box a second time. However, everything appears to have installed correctly the first time. I'm up and running with the new ALP connect and the dual radar antenna.

[radargeek]

You need to load a new setup file since several setup options changed.I was going to ask if this would be necessary for those without the Net Radar. Guess it is. I'll generate a new config.alp when I download the new firmware hopefully today.

I suggest if a new firmware requires creating a new configuration, that it's mentioned in the post announcing/describing the new firmware. :)

Everyone will need to load a new settings file after this update. If you are only running Laser you can use the factory defaults which would be Laser Defense with a LID Setting of 4 Seconds.

Did an OTA firmware update with my original USB stick in situ (have privacy key setup). All went as expected with no checksum failed warning. The old config file is on the USB stick so does it mean I have a default settings (4secs jam) or my previous settings which was infinite?

You should still create and load a new setup file since some option values have changed in the back-end.

This is driving me nuts.

I loaded my old config file into the configuration page and used the old config file to generate a new config file. Then just to check that the format was okay, I selected all of the same options and then generated a brand new file from scratch. I then diffed both files to make sure that they matched, but no matter what I do, I cannot get the two files to match. I have double, triple, and quadruple checked all of the selected options with side by side browser tabs, and I can't even be 100% sure that the new file is the same as the old. There are 5 bytes that differ in the two files:

5361

I mentioned several values have changed. Just create a new Config.alp file from scratch and you will be good to go.

So what you're basically saying is that not only is it not okay to reuse the old config files (we knew this already), but it's also not okay to load an old config file and use that configuration to generate a new config file?

[BestRadarDetectors]

If we change values and you load old values you will still end up with incorrect values. Not sure what is difficult to follow? We said that values have changed and you will need to create a new config file. It will take you less than 2 minutes to create a new settings file.

Not when you use 3 Profiles and have different STiR+ and LID/DLI settings in each. It's a royal pain to generate those config files, and involves opening two browser tabs and clicking back and forth to make sure I didn't miss anything.

We ask users maybe once or twice a year to create a new config file. You can create one profile will all settings and then copy it to B & C and make the changes. It should take no longer than 5 minutes and I would bet you have wasted more than that trying to compare the different files.
