Requests for Future Improvements with the AL Priority

When I connect my BT module to my phone and my phone to my vehicles BT it will sound alerts through my vehicle sound system. Which is great! However it will not play any sounds if I select a different source on my audio deck (such as XM radio). Now I'm not sure how Waze does it, but no matter what source I have selected it will still announce directions/info through the sound system even if I have a different source playing. Just a thought, or if someone has a fix even better!

Try again. Here is no way Waze can change the source selector on your radio if you are not on Bluetooth already. I cant see anyway that Waze can put audio through your vehicle if you are not on the Bluetooth input.

What needs to happen (based on alittle reading) is ALP needs to add a feature or option to select Hands-Free Profile. That way the apps audio is using HFP phone kernel settings which can then override any vehicle sound source selection just like Waze or an incoming phone call.

It uses HFP profile to override the vehicle sound system which allows for alerts to be announced even when its playing something other then BT audio.

Not Sure if this is possible but..

Could could the ALP be used with OpenStreetMaps which contains free maps data and PSL of most roads (NavFree on the Iphone uses this Map database)

When traveling at PSL the ALP would go into detection mode

When traveling above it would switch back to defense

If you get hit with lidar then it will defend until you get back to PSL or an automatic 9second max kill.

Obviously the Iphone GPS would have control over this.


Just a thought :)

or Alternatively a set point mode, with for example (50kph 60kph 80kph 110kph) button available on the ALPconnect, so you can select PSL and it will do the same as above, just a little more manual. System default back to defense after 30mins to prevent driver forgetting. Make for life so much easier

I like this idea and have wanted this for sometime but didn't know if there was a database available that had the PSLs. The only concern would be how accurate are the PSLs. Regardless nice real nice.

I'd be thinking map data from Navteq or Sensis in Australia would be pretty accurate. They are usually pretty good about updates every 12 weeks or so too.

Could alp just make the led solid on instead of blinking when in idle mode?

Great idea and auto dimming

Not sure if this is already an option, but a dedicated button to switch the unit to receive mode rather than kill power altogether to JTK.

I love being able to do that on my 905's to JTK and still know how long I'm getting shot for since I don't have to power the whole unit down.

They dont have a dedicated button per say, but all you have to do it press any button on control pad or tap screen on ALP app and it goes into rcvr mode and you can still see when you are being targeted by a flashing light on the control pad.
