Oh I got My ALPS.... Now i have no Clue what to do ...

[kimberdan]

Hey guys... ok so i have read and read and read. I followed the instructions on how to up date and i did it, or so i think? Is there anyway to confirm that the up date took and that the setting changes took affect?
Also drilled a hole for the supplied LED, problem is that it flashes all the time, I thought( assumed ) it only flashed when i was getting an alert? what is the point of this little LED? because i couldnt imagine anyone having that on while driving, that thing is stupid brite!!!
does anyone know if i need poliscan? Im in FL...
Suggestions?? Help?

I just got mine today too lol..

Will install tomorrow--in the setup file (PRO mode) you can chose to only have the blinky lite to function when you are Targeted!! thats what I did with mine. DO you have the BT module as iit makes it very easy to see what firmware you have :)

Yes Keep Poliscan on as thats what BRD told me cause I asked the same question

[kimberdan]

Yes i to have the B/T

Fire it up and go to the settings menu on the APP--hit the system info button, Im sure that tells you everything

Did you follow this: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showthread.php/29-First-Steps-Required-After-Installing-Your-AL-Priority-System

[kimberdan]

Yes i did and i have 3 files that i down loaded to the usb and followed the instructions. I did get the LED to stop blinking until theres an alert, only problem is i left E/L on so anyone in the area is thinking that LEO are shooting laser in my garage LOL :frusty:
Tim, Do you know if poliscan is used in USA? i havent found anything that say yes or no.
I also set the system to constant jam and installed a separate switch to kill the system and im ok with that, but with it set up this way is there any quick way to switch it to parking mode? I travel from FL to NY often and would like to have a back up in case i do get disco lights

Poliscan is used in Maryland.

Oh thank you, I will need that on then, I was hit 2 years ago and all i had was my x50, guess its a good thing i wasnt speeding :)

Correct and I have MD ticket to prove it. My wife was hit in the rear and we only have front protection on her vehicle.

You can keep a different usb key with a setup where you choose ''parking only'' , you dont even have to close the system to
produce the change :
while in protected mode , you insert the ''parking only'' key and it will change to green only , takes 5 secs maximum.

OH Boy sounds like i have more reading to do when im done doing all the reading im doing LoL.. ok ill have to work my way up to learning how to do that..

Cant you just TAP the screen on the APP and it turns the system off or out of Jam mode???

[kimberdan]

I dont know i didnt try that, I will have to give that a try in the morning, I still have the rear sensor to install.. so when im done ill try that and let you know and i will also post pix, but theres not to much to see since i stealth everything :)

Thats good to know--you just insert USB and it automatically changes to green and parking mode! I thought you had to restart it

[Tman]

I thought you had to restart it

Me too i thought this , by pure error i inserted my ''green'' key ....immediately the control started to bip and flash ...
then the led keeps green = i was in park mode !

Wait i just checked : without shutting off the system = i get the green light only but no sound no red led when an obstacle is present.

I tried by shutting the system , i get green and the red signal of obstacle ...

Please try your way to make sure , i dont want to give wrong infos !!!

[Holla]

Yea i will be experimenting after tomorrow install for sure

[kimberdan]

Ok so when i hit them with the tester and set them off i can just tap the screen on my phone and it sends the system into parking mode.. so the 15 or so seconds and the LED turns green to tell me it is in parking mode...
And to answer my own question (lol) I found out that they are in parking mode while on, when i went to hit them with the tester i heard the beeping coming from inside my car and it got faster as i got closer so if i got pulled in VA i could pull it off :)
