ALP Connect V1.4 & V1.5

[BestRadarDetectors]

AntiLaser has taken several recommendations and has made a few changes to ALP Connect.

The biggest addition was the HFP (Hands Free Protocol) which will enable the ALP Alerts to seamlessly integrate with most vehicles though the vehicles HFP protocol allowing your vehicles stereo to automatically switch to the ALP alerts. Once done your vehicle should go back to the source you were listening to without needing to do anything. (This will be a work in progress because all vehicles have different systems so it might work great in one vehicle and another might not like it) Time will tell what the best method will be but we are adding all available options.

I can only see this being a great feature for those using Laser Defense only. My initial impression since I see so much Radar daily and I use the ALP Radar Integration that I would not use this option because I see so much radar local I would not get a full song in without it switching over but for Laser Only it would be awesome to make sure you do not miss an alert if you are cranking up the volume.

2057

Also many have asked that for the Radar Frequencies & Laser Gun identification be larger and easier to read so that was also changed:

2058 2059

Previous versions when pressing the Mute or JTK the system would stay in Mute until you pressed the button again. This was corrected and Mute is only a Temporary mute until the alert stops and they mute will automatically shut off.

Also added a new Demo Mode so users can get familiar with the current sounds of the different alerts and there were some very minor bug fixes. It should be coming out shortly.

Awesome work guys :)

I'm still not an ALP user. And I'm wondering: how to stop the jamming from the Android app? Is it easy? Just by touching the screen?

It's an important question because when you meet a radar, you break as you can, and in the same time, you manage the jammer, it's not an easy job.

I think you can still press one of the buttons of the control module ....but as i write this ...i am not so sure...
If i remember well it is exclusive : it is either the control module or the cell application ...?

I am not sure if you have an exact date, but this HFP would be awesome for my 800 mile trip home June 16th any chance it will be before that?

It's mutually exclusive. They both go to the C port. The Bluetooth module has no buttons -- which is a shame, that would have been best of both worlds.

Some people have noted that you can use a "dumb" Ethernet switch to choose between the two on the fly.

Here is the link with the manual switch if you want to install both and switch back and forth:

http://radarandlaserforum.com/showthread.php/3335-Temp-Fix-for-using-both-the-Bluetooth-Module-amp-Control-Module?highlight=temp

If using Bluetooth you just need to press the Vehicle on the ALP Screen to instantly Kill jamming or wait for the LID time setting. With the Control Module you can press any button during an alert to immediately Kill jamming or wait for your LID setting to automatically kill.

Detailed Gun support also improved on latest version of ALP Connect. Just tested a few guns and the ID's are more detailed.

Appears to be in the store today. Long story short is that HFP profile doesn't seem as useful as I expected.

Thoughts/feedback:
* On my 2014 Audi A6 with nav, HFP setup does take a while, maybe about 3 seconds for the first time, 1 second or so on subsequent times. But that's a really long time to wait when talking about reacting to a JTK.
* After an alert, I've tried waiting 20 to 30 seconds for the connection to teardown, and it doesn't seem to happen. I have to "end the call" to myself to go back to the radio.
* When I am not paired to the car, the HFP option sends alerts to the phone speaker (not the speakerphone, but the earpiece). This is really faint and I can't hear it over my radio.

I'd really wish that HFP is adaptive (e.g. speaker if available, HFP otherwise), or simultaneous speaker + HFP, or first alert over speaker, then voice over HFP. I want the lowest reaction time possible for the initial alert. I don't mind waiting a few seconds to hear the gun name.

Some other things not relating to this particular release that have been on my mind:

* Be able to configure open-the-app-to-JTK. Right now if the app's in the background, it takes two taps to JTK. One to bring the app up, another to tap the car. I would personally prefer tapping on an alert to JTK.
* Be able to adjust more settings from the app. Particularly normal-dim-dark modes and JTK time would be great if they can be configured over BT.


All in all though, a good update. I like the more readable gun ID UI. But for now I still prefer speakerphone operation.

HFP works in my 2014 gmc sierra as it should after around 8 seconds it goes back to playing music. I also have not noticed a delay, it's pretty instant. I guess this feature will be hit or miss as Jdong isn't having the same results. In any case always nice to have the option rather then not.

Yeah, as I mentioned before, it's often the car's fault. But the blame game doesn't help — the customer gets burned in either case. People generally don't test drive $70,000 cars by sitting there and seeing how fast a phone call patches through. Maybe they should…. :)

It's a YMMV situation, but Waze and Google Maps are similarly affected when they try to use HFP.

So I updated to 1.4 this morning.
Is anyone else's GPS speed not working?

1.4 requires the new firmware update. You might also have to reload the setup file but it works and now also shows gps icons on ALP Connect.

Heh, seems like things have been missed again...

Maybe its just the CPUs outside USA/Euroland that are affected...
If I have learnt anything from watching the 5 dev's in my office, even the tiniest bit of difference in the way systems are configured can cause bugs...

Still though, what the AL guys are pulling off is nothing short of amazing.

[winterbrew]

Same deal - update to 4.3.6 last night with old ALPConnect, and kept getting 'GPS Off' warning message.

New ALPConnect fixes that, but no GPS speed displayed, and no radar detection. Funnily, I was walking round my car with the iPhone and laser tester, and when the laser alert displayed, it showed 'UltraLyte 4km/h' so the phone GPS is working, not just displaying

There were sound file updates for radar on the Control Module. You need to also update the control module along with the firmware. If your control module will not update you might have an issue with it. Try updating the control module again and pop memory stick in when the unit is on.

OK.. Setting look OK... You still have no Radar Alerts through? RG Module is on and LED is on?
Are you traveling over 20 km/h when you are testing your Radar? If you have GPS set to ignore alerts under 20 km/h it will not alert you to radar testing unless you turn the GPS off or travel faster than your set speed.

D'oh :)

Radar alerts working fine above set speed

Still no GPS speed display (0 km/h) but laser alerts come up with the correct speed against them and the yellowcar/blue car transition (detect/defense) works fine at set speed, so just speed display non-functional

Its a small issue and everything is working 100% just the ALP Connect app is not showing the speed when driving. This should be an easy fix with a new ALP Connect push next week.

[Holla]

Just tried the new version--The HFP works ok in my SUV but there is about 1-1.5 second lag alert to Laser, and when its done I have about 5-10 second delay before I get my stereo back on line. I like it alot but it needs to be tweeked so its INSTANT alert. My red line went off about a second or 2 before I had alert on the ALP app to laser.

Its nothing ALP Connect can do differently its how the car utilizes it. Some cars switch over instantly and some vehicles have a delay. Some cars switch back to your radio automatically and some make you actually hang up on the connection. Its just another option you can try to find what works best for you and your vehicle.

[shanetrainST]

How do bugs reach the end user?
Or is the final version different from the distributors beta test version? Cause I'm sure you would have picked up that some function didn't work Tom.
Just trying to understand AL quality control system when it come to a final release.

I think the issue is with the ALP Connect product that apple released. Our last ALP Connect which is supposed to be the same worked fine. Something might have happened in the upload to iTunes.

I have previous versions but lets wait until tomorrow to see what is going on and how quick they can push a new version to Apple. There is no protection issue so its not something that will be difficult to deal with if you have to wait a few days to get an update.

I'm glad that its been fixed :)
I will say that my radar alerts have been delayed or intermittent as I discovered yesterday with an encounter. It seem the alerts only last a couple of beeps and then suddenly stop.

I guess I just like having that option of being able to downgrade. I'm sorry I'm just overly paranoid and it very rare that I will drive without my ALP on, and it uncomfortable knowing the GUI is not 100%, I very glad AL have an awesome team that they can resolve bugs quickly :) :).

I have no issue with parking sensor bars on my 4S, iPod & iPad Mini which is why I think you might still have a very old copy of ALP Connect running before they introduced the bars. Try removing the app again and install fresh and not a copy from your cloud. Speed on the other hand was fixed with 1.5 but the parking sensor bars was not an issue.

[Holla]

You know I looked but how do you not get a copy from the cloud? All I see is a download from the cloud??

[BestRadarDetectors]

You know I looked but how do you not get a copy from the cloud? All I see is a download from the cloud??

When you download from the Cloud it usually downloads the version that you have stored which might not be the latest. I am not an apple user but hopefully someone will chime in but I know there is a way when you get an app to choose to download a fresh copy and not use the stored version from your cloud.

[Holla]

I hear ya--I have had iPhones from day one, but this one has me stumped. I'm sure the cloud only keeps the latest version that u have downloaded---also I do have 1.4 on both phones so I'm sure I have the latest there is

[dukes]

From what I understand iCloud doesn't actually store the app, its just for a quick recovery of your iPhone. When you download an app that is "stored" in iCloud you are still downloading a fresh copy of it.

[Holla]

Thats what I thought as well--cause your apps always updates. Just weird my iphone doesnt show the red warning parking bars, I know it has worked before on earlier versions as I was using my iphone at first. Guess Ill see when 1.5 comes out it may start working again lol

[shanetrainST]

1.5 should not be too far away (I hope) and I am fair sure AL would have ironed out all the bugs :)
Not sure why apple takes so long.... to approve apps on slowtunes


1.4 has it fair share of issues with GPS Speed missing, Radar and Laser audible alert problems & Bar disappearing.
But So far it shows no problems with the protection side of things.

[Mirage]

1.5 has already been submitted to Apple so hopefully it will show up soon.

[jdong]

From what I understand iCloud doesn't actually store the app, its just for a quick recovery of your iPhone. When you download an app that is "stored" in iCloud you are still downloading a fresh copy of it.

When you erase and restore a phone from iCloud backup, you will get best effort attempts at having the exact versions of the apps you backed up with. But if you delete and download the app again with the Cloud button you are guaranteed to get the latest. Same with just by checking the updates tab.

Updated app on my ATT phone no problem. Tried on my verizon and it wanted to do 1.4 again. A few tries and it finally found 1.5 and went through the motions. Opened it up and it was 1.3 Jeez!
Deleted and shut down the phone and then downloaded from App Store again. This time all went well.

The good news is I LOVE iT!

The alert and frequency is BIG enough for an old man to glance at it and catch it readily on the move. The one shot mute is very nice so it rearms after that alert goes away.
I was very happy. I'm impressed with the stellar service from BRD once again (Tom is consistent). I'm equally impressed with the product developers since they are clearly listening to the customer wants and needs.

[Abarth695]

Firstly, let me say overall the latest update is great and job well done to ALP.
My only beef is that with the updates to audio connectivity, my iPhone plays up in the following ways. By the way, it is connected to a USB port in the car through which it then connects to the music system.
1. No sound on start up. I generally have to open the music app and manually have to hit the play button or hit play and start the music first before I connect it to the USB port
2. Generally always goes to repeat and so I have to open up Music folder, deselect Repeat and then it will shuffle or play correctly through the steering wheel controls.
3. If I make a phone call and then hang up music will not start up again and yes again have to go the Music folder and manually start it playing.
Seems weird, I had no issues BEFORE update 1.4/1.5
I drive a European car and would not have thought I would have any issues since ALP is Euro brand.
I cannot use HFP as my system is not Bluetooth but I tried and the music comes out of the phone from memory, or really plays havoc with the phone, so is set on Speaker and Mix which is where it always has been before the update.
Has anyone had similar type problems since the update?:grief:

only a guess try different speaker settings, cant remember but my phone goes silent no alp sounds in one of the settings, worked ok moving to another settings
