I actually just changed it to this now that profiles are available. It's nice having a profile that puts your jammers into receive mode to KBJ rather than putting them into parking mode only. Plus I'd engage parking mode by accident if I didn't switch profiles correctly. :)
Yup, that what it was, I missed the Menu button short press function - Force parking only setting. *slaps forehead*Quote:

If you dont use ALP Connect Android this is not necessary. The Apple ALP Connect that will support this new functionality is slated for release at the end of the month.Quote:

be good when it comes on Apple
I was able to reinstall my existing config.alp, no need to create a new one, unless you're going to configure from within the Android app, in which case you need to create one using the app.Quote:

Is there a way to download your config before updating? I HATE the fact I need to keep my config sitting somewhere because it always ends up misplaced or deleted and I end up having to remake all my profiles and inevitably forget something.
Run a Write/Save to USB command from BT or HiFi and it will save a copy of your config file and a stats file to an attached USB Drive.Quote:

After any firmware update I always put in a new Config file as well to make sure everything is the way I want it.
Control Box firmware
5.2.7./7.1.
1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements.
2. Support improved for several LIDARs.
3. Added support for the latest ALPConnect app.
4. Added Statistics print out over the ALPConnect app.
when doing the upgrade via BT, does it do both 5.2.7/7.1 assume the last / 7.1 is the controller?
Hy Tom , i am curious why you write the /7.1 , on the site there is mention that the latest voice pack is ''(the latest voice-pack is Gen.7 /2016-03-12) ''.
Am i right to think that is no new voice pack ?
Note : as usual the updating process was a breeze :thumb:

No, There is no controller update. Its a sub firmware version since there are 2 hardware CPU's HW1 and HW2 there are some differences in firmware for the different models.Quote:

This is a full update... CPU Firmware, HiFi Control Set, New Config File & HiFi VoicePack. If you use Android ALP Connect you will need to update that as well. (Update firmware before you update ALPConnect or app might stop working) - If you have BT update the firmware from the app before updating the app itself.

Do we have to resetup the config.alp or will an old one work? Thanks
You will need a new config file. There are new settings on the setup page so your old file will get defaulted so you need to load a new one with the update.Quote:

Voices are stored in the wired controller itself so it can only be updated when its in use so HiFi Voicepacks need to be updated via USB.Quote:

Ok so I uploaded the config file, the new firmware and the new voice set and it said something like checksum failed.
I then uploaded them one at a time and I think it works. Voice works (used a tester), firmware in settings tells me it's the latest version, and config file seems to work too.
Any other ways to check all is swell? Thanks
What's new in the config file? How do we check if we have the new one uploaded? (I had like 15 different versions b/c I was troubleshooting)
So apparently, the firmware updates first. Then it boots into the new firmware, and the checksum fails (maybe because each firmware version uses its own config file checksum?). Then it loads the config file from the USB stick and everything is fine from that point on. So although it sounds like something's wrong, everything's fine.Quote:

The updates checks the checksum of the loaded file to see if its current and throws a Checksum error if the Checksum is not current but that error sounds much harsher than it really is.Quote:

The hardwired system has no issues... i am using rhe Samsung s7 edge with Android 7.0. Any thoughts or advice?

You need to be more specific? If you are referring to radar alerts and are using a M3 antenna there are some issues which are being patched next week. I run a Galaxy S7 Edge with my ALP and I have been running the latest release for over a month with no issues.Quote:

Control Box firmware update 5.3.2/7.3
1. Fixed STiR radar antenna alerting issue from 5.3.1 firmware update
2. Green mode in PDC only profile and green mode in warm-up mode are now enabled when using Privacy USB-keylock. The insertion of a USB drive containing a privacy key would switch from green parking mode to defense active blue mode before this change.
AL Priority - Voicepack & HiFi Control Set firmware update
Gen 10./5.5.
New english voicepack: "CRC cheksum failed" notice changed to "Configuration out of date. Restoring defaults"
ALPConnect - Android
7.1A rev.2
Radar performance bug fixes.
What does this mean?
New english voicepack: "CRC cheksum failed" notice changed to "Configuration out of date. Restoring defaults"
I had that error before, but i'm not sure what the latter means. Am I OK if I just reupload the config file?
Any any more info on the privacy key feature? I don't recall where to read more on this.
It means the updated firmware requires a newer settings file and the firmware is defaulting your settings back to factory settings. You need to create and upload a new configuration file.Quote:
