Actually there already exists a variant of AL Control Set that is external buttons Ready. As many European installers prefer such an option for more discrete installs.Quote:

Is there any change of A pin-out diagram, please AL.
do you need a gps for the plus to work there is a opening for one on the rg module, if not what do need a gps for
can i use my plus gps if i fit the larger connecter
No, The GPS will be used for the Savvy Type ignoring under pre-set speed limits. Let say you dont want to Jam or be alerted for alerts while you are traveling 25MPH or less or so.Quote:

Looks like the tripod and duct tape are coming out tomorrow to test this :).
A great feature for sure. Instead of trying to fine one specific button, being able to hit any button to turn off will be much easier.Quote:

Is it possible to run all 5 heads up front, will they work together? Or will it just produce PT's and jam codes?
I have not tested 5 heads at once but Beingaware tested heads connected to both the front and rear and he mentioned they all fired back in sync. We are also looking into in the future trying to see if we can get each port configured through setup so you can designate front or rear for each port.Quote:

me and winter tested my rear 5 heads with the ultrlyte/pl2and stalker .....the pl2 and stalker both seen PTs in the exact place the ultralyte missed this week point..... at that time i had rear ports for left side and front ports for right side....so then i swapped some ports around and mixed them all up ...
the pl2 and stalker did not see PT after that
I believe the rear on front ports on the ALP work independently. If this is true then they can interfere with each other.
NO because the cpu infact any laser jammer cpu can only fire one pulse rate at one given time ....other wise we would be able to do to things at once
Is there a complete "how-to" list somewhere on all the functions available from the standard control set buttons? The manual only covers the parking aid features and some of the setup options.
For example, how to switch between defense and detection mode from the control set, or how to turn on recording mode.
Originally that was the design but with the need to have more heads in the front such as a Quad configuration or some even have all 5 heads in the rear for some crazy Poliscan protection if both the front and rear heads see a hit they will all fire back simultaneously. I believe if only the rear heads or only the front heads are fired on separately only the one side will react. This is why if you put a quad configuration you should split for example F1 + R1 = Right Side and F2 + R2 for the Left side this way both heads will see the beam and all will fire back.Quote:

See this Thread - If you are however hit with Laser any button on the control set if pressed will instantly kill defense.
So there's no way to KBJ (Kill Before Jam) if you see the LEO before being shot, short of plugging in a USB drive or powering down the ALP? Can you do it with ALP Connect?
I suppose in that situation you could just keep your finger over the button and as soon as it starts alerting, press it to JTK immediately.
Sounds like a suggestion for a future firmware update, to allow toggling between modes at the press of a button.
I could not see any need to kill your device if its not Jamming. What would be the point? If you are hit you press the button and kill it or set it to automatically kill at 3-4 seconds.Quote:

To avoid jamming when you don't have to, say if you see the LEO and slowed before being shot. And to get confirmation of the shot and a gun ID.Quote:

Anyway, you answered the question. The easiest/quickest way is to just be ready and hit the button immediately to JTK.
I know what you mean , the Li has a switch to pass from jam to listen only , i often use it andQuote:

Here an example , you hear the sound when i switch from jamable to listen @ 14
i had a feeling cop was there , so i was 47\50 , no need to jtk ...safer...dont awake
local cops, as i pass there 4 times a day .
I do wish Alp implement such mechanical switch , unless it is already in existence
but i am not aware of.

Hi,
I just got the ALP unit today. I can't seem to get out of Parking mode, the LED always blinks green. I already update the firmware for the CPU box and the control unit. I also put went to the website and customized a Setup file and have the ALP unit download the Setup file (PDC & LID chosen). But my unit will not go into laser defense (blue) mode, it only stays in parking (green) mode.
Also, how does one work with the bluetooth module? When I plugged it in place of the control unit and gave power to the CPU, nothing turned on.
I wish there was some sort of manual somewhere for these options/modules.
Thanks!
After you did the firmware update, did you remember to do a factory reset? If I remember correctly you load the first file and then do a factory reset. From there you can load the other two files. BRD, RR or Mirage, does that sound right?
Sounds like you either did not load your firmware correctly or you did not load your setup file with defense settings:Quote:

Also the Bluetooth manual is in this thread at the bottom of the first post: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...h-Users-Manual
Call us
yes. I tried different combo too.
_ uploaded the CPU firmware, uploaded the control unit firmware, reset factory settings and then upload my own settings
_ uploaded the CPU firmware, reset factory settings, uploaded the control unit firmware and then upload my own settings
neither worked :(
Is your Control Unit off when you put in the USB stick to load the various files, or is it on and then you put in the USB to start loading the files?Quote:

BRD, I followed through with that instruction twice but it didn't work. I also did a manual head test and the CPU correctly counted 4 heads. The short firmware version called out 1.1.4. I'm stumped.
I will call you guys tomorrow. Thanks!
tried both. both gave me similar light and beep sequenceQuote:

Error 7 is a firmware update error. Are you using a name brand formatted Fat 16 or Fat 32 drive? Was it empty with only your ALP files? Download the firmware again and try to update it again.Quote:

Its midnight here and I can continue trying to help you tomorrow, You can also email support@alg9.com since they are 6 hours ahead of us and its almost morning there.Quote:

Thank you. I will get in touch with you tomorrow!Quote:

BRD, I came home late today so i couldn't give you a call. However, I made a video just now showing me resetting the unit to factory default, downloading the firmware and attempting the update. The video also shows my serial number so I will PM you the link. Thanks everyone for your help.
