AL Priority HiFi Module (External Speaker with Voice Alerts)

[kimberdan]

OK so its my turn LoL, Did what i was suppose to down loaded the new files and went out and got the first start up beeps and then the 1 led started flashing blue green adn the one on the C/S was flashing blue yellow? So i un hooked it and plugged the B/T Module back in and fired it up and it worked so then i went back to the HiFI and now all it does if flash the colors as i listed above.
Help:help:


EDIT: I just left it on in the car with the USB hanging out and when i got back out there is was done, Tested it and everything works, Very happy with its sound quality Another Fine product from BRD and ALP..

One question for you Tom ,

for curiosity sake , can we revert to the ''old'' control module once the new firmware ''HIFi'' has been installed ?

My guess is no .

I guess we can revert to the old control module if we re-install the old firmware ...right ?

Could be a good B plan to diagnose a problematic install.

Firmware is installed in the control module. At any time if you want to go back to the other control module just switch them. No firmware needs to be changed.

I keep telling everyone that it takes over 5 minutes. Video is posted in the first thread. Glad you waited it out and let it install properly.

Yeah, 5 minutes feel like an eternity when waiting. I can't tell you how many times in my line of work I've had someone complain that something takes "10 seconds" when it actually took 3 seconds.


Installed mine as well. The update procedure was lengthy but worked out great. I love having the voice, and the speaker is so loud that even burying it in an under seat compartment is still plenty loud at volume 1 or 2.

My only wish/suggestion is that it should still say the gun name after a fast JTK. It seems like if I JTK before the gun announcement happens, it won't happen and will just say "Detection Only"

[Tman]

Great news , i might use the small switcher box for a while.

Yes Tom i watched the video, What threw me was that the LED was flashing different colors then when in your video.... Maybe i missed it in the thread about the colors changing... But i tested it out and everything works, Now i just have to learn the menu for the Key pad since, day one i have had the B/T Mod hooked up..
But i did get a chance to play around with it and raise.. or should i say lower the volume, I was not expecting it to be that loud LoL
Again TOM Thank you for all you do for this community :thumbs2:

[JStump2490]

Just hooked mine up, took maybe 20 minutes, 15 of those were figuring out where to put the speaker though haha. Ended up using zip ties and mounting it to the bottom of the driver seat. Very clear sound and small package so you can mount it pretty much anywhere. I put all the files on at once and it failed to update the control set, had to remove the firmware file and do it again but that worked. Very pleased with it! Thanks again for the awesome deal BRD

It's amazing what he does for this community. He stepped up to the plate along with AntiLaser and gave us something that will work and keep us protected for the future.

This is the most amazing product. My main complaint was always not having the voice like on LI. Now with this Hifi module I am super excited and pumped to have this great system. The voices are amazingly clear and it's just great.

Tom you are to be commended on a job well done and for delivering this when our community needed it most.

[SLO]

Got mine installed and works perfect! THANKS BRD!

[shanetrainST]

Just been reading over on RDforum.
Some of the members think that CPU V2 will be able to connect both HiFi and ALPconnect and switch between them, probably with another module? Any truth behind that?

I have a V2 and it utilizes the same port so unless they change the connection I don't see how this would be possible.

[OrlNmE]

Installed and working great!!! It took exactly 5 minutes for programming. Easy to navigate through menus now. Easy to adjust volume also. I have my speaker (inside and behind my dash/can't be seen), and it is plenty loud at level 2 out of 5.

Same here 2 or 3 is plenty loud. Very clear too. I am still blown away with how clear the voices sound.

Had my old control set at 3, figured I'd try 4 on the new one...went back to 3!

Yea it's very loud. And you don't even have to wire the thing to a separate power source.

[Holla]

Just installed mine too--very easy but have no idea what my volume is.. I tried pressing the 2 buttons at the same time but it did not give me the volume option---it always said foglights off on auto lol

How do I get to the volume??

[Jaguar]

I don't think yer pressing hard enough. Hit both at the same time, try making sure you hit power first.

[Holla]

So which 2 buttons do you press??

[Jaguar]

Power and menu?

Your not pressing and holding both at the time time and there are only 2 buttons on the control set, Press and hold both at the same time.

[Mirage]

LOL the only 2 available.

[kasher1979]

LOL the only 2 available.

;) Patience Mirage. *joking*

to Holla:

Yea you aren't holding them in at the same exact time properly Holla. Just keep trying you will get it.

I didn't know how to get to laser menu until I messaged Tom last night. You have to keep holding the menu button until it comes up. The first menu is the basic.

Just let us know if you need help

[GA Speed]

By the way what is this "fog light" option I have mine turned off?

[BestRadarDetectors]

By the way what is this "fog light" option I have mine turned off?

They are not offered here in the US and they are older G9 heads which would not support the newer guns used here in the US but they are still popular overseas.. Check out this video with a user that has a set of the Fog Light sensors installed:

Pretty cool! Did I mention that the Hifi is awesome. :p

[Jaguar]

Are they running off some of the wires? Can I use them to control a relay? XD

[BestRadarDetectors]

No Fog lights were built into the sensor heads. I will probably send you something tomorrow to test for me on your system but we can continue that discussion offline.

LOL.. I few times you mentioned how much you like it. Glad we were able to deliver a product that reached everyone's expectations. There are more tricks up AL's sleeves and engineering is no where close to being done with the improvements for the ALP.

Im starting to have an issue.... You keep coming out with new stuff and the problem is i keep buying it, another problem, I can not fit all this stuff under the dash of my car LoL:frog:

I was thinking maybe, Start putting this stuff in my trunk LoL

[curmudgeon]

or remove seats

[kimberdan]

or remove seats
:rolf: No thats not to obvious.. Sir what is all that where your seat was? Um..... Stuff LoL i have a hard enough time keeping my car stealth, if i did that i can throw that idea around the window

[Holla]

LOL-- I have never used the control pad till now--I have had the BT since day 1, Ill try it again later but it isnt to hard to push two buttons at once haha, and all I could get was the foglight option. :)

[BestRadarDetectors]

Upgrade price has not been nailed down yet because we wont know exact final costs until we get the shipment and calculate freight and all import & customs fee's but to show our appreciation for the early adopters we expect to intro it around $59.95 to existing customers. We will only have 100 available at a special upgrade price. The upgrade will only be available to existing registered users and once we run out the price will move to $99.95 which will be the regular price for all new purchasers adding the option to new ALP systems in January when the new retail bundles are available.

There are less than 10 available at the upgrade price if anyone who was considering one still wants one now is the time.

[Holla]

I figured out the volume finally--I wasn't HOLDING the two buttons until it went into vol mode, I was just pressing/releasing.

I went to Dim mode as well, instead of dark because I wanted to see my control pad light ON, knowing I had power to it--in dark mode I kept wondering if it was powered on lol

[hussein]

ahhh sweet I was late to the party but glad I can still get in!!

[OrlNmE]

Get it for the great deal BRD is offering. Well worth it!!!

Oh and don't forget "HURRY" before he runs out of the special deal. :)

[tawwwd]

Well I had a little issue updating it but that was my own fault.....I THOUGHT I put all the files on my USB stick and it wasnt working so I checked like 3 times and tried then realized I didnt put the voicepack file on haha

long story short.....laser interference defense, active!

[nydriver]

Any of those ten still available or I am out of luck?

[licwid]

I'll second that. This module has made me the happiest with my ALP over bluetooth and the standard control set.

[cyclrder]

I would like to order one also.

As reflected on the websites the promo has ended. It was alive over 3 weeks and glad that we were able to get many of you in on the promo.

Could we have the firmware changed so that when we select "Silent powerup," it doesn't shout "Active!" at startup?

Active is not a startup command. It part of the operation.

...k... So can AL fix that? :D

Its not a problem that needs to be fixed. Now if you want to make a recommendation for a future change there are areas we have for recommendations for future features.

So if you order an new ALP system with HIFI Module, do you still get the old control pod. If not How does effect the firmware installation process.

[BestRadarDetectors]

You buy new ones with or without HiFi. It does not effect a new install any differently. If you have HiFi you install the HiFi normally.

[CommandrKeen]

I have the BT module now. Is the Hi-Fi a better choice than ALP Connect? I've been very frustrated with the BT module and my iPhone 6 with the connection continually being dropped. Worked fine with my iPhone 5. Do people here that have both use the ALP Connect BT module over the Hi-Fi module or the other way around?

iPhone 6 issue is coming to an end soon. We are waiting for iOS 8.2 to be released and then we will release a new ALP Connect V1.9 that will work with the new IOS to solve the connection issues.

I have both and still do, but I prefer the HI-FI--voice alerts nice and clear and plenty loud and need not worrying about any BT issues (I never had issues).

[CommandrKeen]

Good news. I'm still intrigued with the Hi-Fi and would like to hear what people with both think of each.

[dukes]

Good news. I'm still intrigued with the Hi-Fi and would like to hear what people with both think of each.

I absolutely love my Hi-Fi module! Its always ready to go, no connecting or ensuring my device is still on and connected. Personally, I can't see myself running anything but the Hi-Fi Module with my ALP system.

[Nicholat]

I have BT android and HiFi. I been using HiFi becuse must easier to use. I going to upgrade my s3 to a iPhone 6 and may use s3 for ALP only then, no problems with andriod version.

[Tman]

Dukes said it all , though i cannot compare versus BT operation. The Hi-Fi is easy to set up , not one beat missed after 3 months use. I fire it thru a wireless switch...all sweet.

[Vortex]

Good news. I'm still intrigued with the Hi-Fi and would like to hear what people with both think of each.

I've run both and prefer the HiFi module. I like that it's one less thing in your dash, no worries about phone batteries going dead, needing to plug in a phone or automate the startup/sleep process if it's a dedicated phone, etc. It just works.

I do like the visual confirmation of the gun ID though on the phone when you get shot, frequency display for radar, and history of most recent guns you encountered for easier review.

Out of curiosity, what would have happened if you got a LIDAR hit at the same time as a radar hit on YaV1? Does the ALP Connect app pop up over the YaV1 window, or does the later alert take priority, and if so, would that prevent you from JTKing?

haha, you'd probably get ALP Connect popping up with YaV1 overlaying on top of that. You can still access ALP Connect just fine as long as you tap outside of the overlay. I see this happen when I'm trying to use Waze while YaV1 is popped up. I have to press around it or wait for the overlay to go away. Fortunately the ALP app lets you tap anywhere so you can still JTK just fine.

Finally brought one with latest 2017 CPU,
Love how loud it is!
