Do you have anyone with an ALP close by? Anyone with an ALP can record it. If not can you send it to me? I will pay shipping both ways and we will have it added to the next update.Quote:

Has one of these ever been used in Law Enforcement? I cant find any details on these ever being use for enforcement and it looks like demand was so low on these that they were selling at auction for $199 back in 2005Quote:

You are right , it is/was not use for enforcement , i bought for testing my set up becauseQuote:

can you still use detector tools for updates to the plus, if the plus is connected to the ALP system modules
try and rephrase , when the sti-r plus is linked into the ALP , by just using the plus antenna, how do you use detector tools for any upgrade, without the plus ecu ?
There is no way to connect your Sti-R Plus antenna to Escort Detector tools without having a Beltronics CPU. There is no reason you would need to update the receiver unless there was some sort of major radar update and if that was the case you would have to find someone with an Sti-R Plus to update it for you by connecting it to their system and running an update.Quote:

so thats ok just keep the ucu etc
The Sti-R Plus is a stealth antenna so its not detectable and if mounted discreetly it will go unnoticed. When you integrate two products you can never get the full features of both systems and its a give and take proposition. You always have the option to run both systems separately or integrate them and control everything from one controller but give up some features. You need to weigh your options and budget to see which method is best for you. For me I love the integration and using the ALP Connect product puts everything I need in one to use app. I do miss the auto mute but I am sure that will come with a future update and once the GPS module is done you can also use the Savvy like muting features under a pre-set limit which will be great for city use.Quote:

ALP is 100% in Parking Mode all the time and it never sleeps and will immediately respond to any radar and laser alert all the time.Quote:

like the display's showing gun types and k, ka's all on one screen, thats an interesting one the pik ka 33.9, i get quite a few 33,5, but never been fully sure of the source, im still thinking there,s leo hanging around here in qld with that ka , cobra has been suggested
Imagine how nice it will be, if they can add the GPS coordinates to that.Quote:

I do remember like LI was selling this product in my country and couldn't to jam properly Traffipatrol XR. The E-48 code was shown at that time. Antilaser newer did something like this, so that's why we never saw such a option to try to jam some unknown gun.Quote:

What is fun I have one remote control that also sets off my V1 and then G9 also sounds about that interference.
Tom. I'm curious if ALP also have this option to inform about interference ?
I have a few suggestions Tom.Quote:

7-Radar Frequency displayed in medium text on main screen, then disappear
8-Bluetooth connection graph changes color to match DB strength (red is bad, green is good) rather than a solid color
10-Detailed descriptions of the error codes, that appear in recent alarms
11-A different color car for when the ALP is in warm up mode/first power on
12-Countdown Reset timer to appear when waiting to go into defense mode
13-In built Electronic Manual into ALP connect
14-ALP record mode from ALPconnect, direct send to AL
15-Abiltiy to connect two ALP cpu's to ALPconnect for people that run 2 systems and define front and rear
16-Geotag of alarms, export feature to gmaps
17-Page dedicated for sensor checking
Long shot
Voice activated kill mode for Iphone
Android platform :)
Car Voltage Displayed on main screen
nice comprehensive list be good if all that came along,
also i have the beltronics lead with the press button on to kill false alerts on k band which plugs straight into my magnum, is there any way to link this into the alp plus, by changing the wiring around to add in between the plus and the the module so making it possible to manuallly kill the k alerts
No, A smartcord mute alert will not work with installed detectors because they do not operate the same as a windshield mounted unit. Just press the mute button the ALP Controller or the Smartphone app if you want to quickly mute a radar alert.Quote:

Same thing for Radar Alerts.Quote:

18. With a front and rear sensor setup, in the Recent Alarm Page, it would tell if you got hit in the front sensors or the rear sensors. This would be very helpful for Poliscan Alerts.
Not sure if this has been asked yet (forgive me in advance)...
I have a LI Quad setup with extension cables for my rear heads. The question is...can I use those extension cables with the ALP heads should I choose to replace my LI Quad with a ALP Quad?
from what i have learned, the pin outs are different and the wire dia,which i dont think will be a problem, if u correct the pin outs in new plugs, because of all the major refitting new cables, i did suggest like a short conversion lead if it was a possible
I'm new here, though not to CMs, but came here to learn more about the ALP in terms of how it can be integrated with external equipment (i.e. something created by a 3rd party, not ALP's accessories alone).
For example, if an external device can "know" when the ALP is jamming and if there's a way for such device to kill jamming (JTK). Does the radio mute activate only when jamming? Does it give any indication as to when jamming starts and ends? Does it activate during other situations, such as errors or parking sensing? Is there any kind of serial interface that is available for use or is it strictly a proprietary interface? Laser Interceptor in particular has a serial port which can provide this information including what gun is being jammed and for how long. I'm wondering if ALP has something similar. Worst case, the radio mute will work if it mainly activates during jamming, and JTK can always be done by cutting power. I'm just wondering what else is available for I/O.
The wire you're interested in is the relay wire. It will activate when jamming, but the mute does too. You can also use the LED, but it will flash when being targeted. (if you have it in pro mode). Bluetooth would be the way to go if you wanted to completely interface with the CPU. One nice feature they implemented in the ALPConnect app is the ability to JTK and continue receiving the alerts. You just tap the car on the screen and it will change from Blue to Yellow indicating it is in detection only mode. Blue is defense mode.Quote:

If the bluetooth module can JTK, so should any other device that can connect to the CPU in the same manner as the bluetooth module, correct? Bluetooth is great if you have a smartphone, but not everyone does.
I believe its ground triggered. Tom may know I haven't tested it yet.Quote:

You could easily add a JTK switch, buy purchasing a toggle switch at the local auto-parts store. Install it in the 12volt loop from the fuse to the CPU. Switch is on, unit is on. Switch to off, the whole thing is off.
Examples of switches here
Oh yeah, a switch will work, but if the ALP has a way to hit a button to kill jamming but still alert if being hit with lidar, that's even better.Quote:

Sounds like the bluetooth module and iPhone app can JTK, but I don't have an iPhone, or any smart phone for that matter. Plus I wouldn't want to rely on that for JTKing, what if the bluetooth connection drops or the app hangs, or my wife is playing Angry Birds on it in the passenger seat?
Have not used the regular controller for some time but will test later the mute functionality using the control module. With the ALP Connect app and LID set to unlimited if you hit the mute button (Tap car on screen) it will Kill immediately, If you press it again it will un-mute and you can still hear the alert until they stop shooting and then it will instantly go back in defense mode.Quote:

Another question while I'm here: I read that parking mode is always active, no matter what? So if I'm up to someone's bumper in stopped traffic, the ALP will be beeping? Also, does the parking mode pulses set off any RDs? I know my STiR+ alerts to laser if I put my LI in park assist mode.
We cant satisfy everyone but we have adjusted these options to satisfy the majority of requests. You can set LID to jam for a set amount of time lets say 4 seconds and after the 4 seconds it will reset in 60 seconds or you can set to Unlimited and shut off using your own discretion when you want by pressing the mute icon. We are looking into maybe giving a setting to adjust the rearm time to something other than 60 seconds in the future.Quote:

When its available we will post the details. New ALP Connection app is coming very soon and after that is done and all bugs have been worked out they will move on to finishing the HiFi module.Quote:
