Was asked not to discuss features until the weekend. App will freeze if you install before the firmware update is out since CPU will not understand some of the commands. Just hold off until the new firmware is released next Tuesday.Quote:

ALP Connect new app was submitted to iTunes last week. Waiting patiently for iTunes to post up the latest version. Latest version will require a new firmware update and if using the Radar Integration will require a new setup file be created on the ALP Update site: http://www.alpupdate.com
Here is a breakdown on the newest update. Posted in this thread because many are ALP Connect improvements:
1. STiR M-edition antenna support added. Now can be fully configured on alpupdate web. Multaradar CD detection has a separate distinct alert & sound.
2. Control Set keyboard gained another function, a button double-click. Also Control Set keyboard button long press did not work at moments, issue resolved.
3. Added City Mode filtering of Radar alerts. Two modes, CityYellow indicated by yellow beep and CityRed indicated by red beep. Modes affect Radar K and X band alerts only. Fully user configurable via online alpupdate setup page. Change City Mode on your ALP by a double-click of a Control Set’s Power button. If using ALPConnect - view alerts for filtered radar signals on flashing City/Highway icon.
4. Fog lights ON/OFF now a tri state button ON/STROBE/OFF, indicated by Constant/Flashing/No green light. Will work only with AL sensors with built in fog feature.
5. Added Dim mode option. Yellow Menu 3 now is a multi-choice 1-OFF, 2-DIMMED, 3-DARK. Dimmed mode is similar to Dark mode but after 10 seconds does not turn off LED blinking completely but just reduces LED intensity (external LED is still turned OFF completely).
6. Added K Band segmentation. K1 (23950-24000), K2 (24000-24050), K3 (24050-24100), K4 (24100-24150), K5 (24150-24200), K6 (24200-24250) MHz and a K Wide (23950-24250) MHz choice. Configurable over alpupdate web page. Use segmentation to remove alerts from Vehicle collision radars (usually >24200 MHz) and from nearby radar-detectors (usually <24100 MHz).
7. Privacy KeyLock mode changed. EEPROM has been designated to store KeyLock activation. Now the activation via Key press has to be done only once and will be remembered after power off. The activation will be cleared when hit by a Laser (a Laser alert).
8. Improved signaling of Front/Rear Laser hit, front laser hit going to behind will be properly shown as front arrows are replaced with rear arrows once laser has switched.
9. Added AutoMute for Radar alerts only. If enabled initial Radar alerts start at set volume for 6 seconds and then automatically lower to discrete volume level for the remainder of the alert. When alert finishes next alert is again announced at full set volume.
10. Added support for various ALPConnect features. Writte to USB, System information, Reset to defaults,…
Can you apply the firmware update before the update to the app get's online? I have my apps set to auto update. It would be nice to update the firmware now.
New version is up on iTunes ;

What's New in Version 1.1.2
1. Safety agreement & Hardware requirements notifications changed.
2. Lock screen no notifications bug solved.
3. Foreground and background audio playing changed.
4. Added Mix Audio channel option for compatibility with podcasts and other 3rd party players.
5. Added screen saver (fade lock screen) after 100 seconds of inactivity while not connected to preserve battery consumption.
6. Changing audio related settings will now play short sound clips on each button press.
7. Added new setting buttons: System info, Reset Defaults, Save to USB and Help.
8. Laser change of direction (front goes back) now detected and displayed.
9. Added City Band filtering: City button and City filtered radar alert notification.
10. Added support for New ALP extended FW 4.3.3, Radar – ShortAlert.
Firmware is supposed to go Live today sometime. Wait until firmware is posted and then upgrade the new setting file. You can put both the setup file and firmware update on the same USB key and update both at the same time.Quote:

You can only connect to one CPU at a time. There is a large list of customer requests for future changes to the ALP Connect app. Based on priorities I dont think we will see many changes to the Apple connect app for a little while, The HiFi Module needs to get completed, they have to finish some new algo's for some newer guns and need to get the Android app worked on, etc.Quote:

Should it in your opinion and or is there something you think I can check
Is there a way to verify your firmware with b/t module
Have just installed latest App.
Still cannot work out how to perform firmware update?
Seems now I can run music through my iPhone and alert will come through speakers at same time have yet to work out if changing setting will cancel music and just play alert
I tried and music did stop and alert only but the all went mute. Need to check further.
Tried to confirm firmware version etc, which is now an option, but it kept on saying it was reading but never came up with version?
Fantastic work by the guys, excellent App.
Can anyone confirm if having same issue as me?:popcorn:
Firmware is downloaded to USB memory stick using the ALP Update Site: http://www.alpupdates.com - You also create the main setup file from the same site and put on the same memory drive.
Once you update the firmware the features on the app that are hanging will work. They are looking for a response from the firmware but you are running old firmware which does not understand the requests.
Once you install the current firmware you will be able to check the firmware information from within the ALP Connect App.Quote:

The issue some have with some ALP Connect features not working is due to the firmware on their ALP not being the current firmware. AntiLaser is aware of the issue and they will put the current firmware file back online today. I apologize for this issue.
Since I was getting Error Code 6 and then Code 4 I called the dealer and they have asked me to send the controller back and they will send a replacement. Not sure if the firmware was the issue, maybe it was
Let us know how you make out with the new CPU. Firmware was re-uploaded only a few hours ago to the ALP Setup website. If you download all firmware now all will be current.Quote:

Site is working 100% here. Must be an internet issue between Australia and wherever the site is hosted. PM me your serial number and I will download the firmware for you and email you the file.Quote:

Update just fixed a few very minor bugs which is why we did not mention it. Nothing important or we would have made an announcement.
Will there ever be an app for an Android type phone (for those who do not have an iPhone/iPod)? Not sure if this was previously discussed.
Yes, Its under development.Quote:

However, the volume of the music is now around half of its normal volume for the position of the volume dial.
Is anyone else having a similar issue since the update? I had no problems before the update.
Thanks guys:happy:
this may help on the menu alp app change the audio output from default to speaker and try that, that fixed a prob with my iphone sound, but was a bit different to ur fault just give it a try
Have done that no difference with either of the two last options. All I can think its a bug in the latest upgrade
May be wait for USA to wake up
Have you tried switching the Audio from DUCK to MIX? Duck means exactly that, it lowers audio volume of a background player so ALPC alerts are heard as louder. MIX should keep the volume as is. Try switching to MIX and then reset the app, phone and your car stereo.Quote:

Tried it and works fine. However, two things.
1. Why does it mute/pause the media player every time it turns on. I have to hit pause to pause the player, even though it has been paused by the App and then hit the pause button again which physically unpasues the unit and it plays from there.
2. Would not Duck be better programmed to ONLY lower the volume of the media player upon getting an alert? It seems silly to lower the volume of your audio when there is no alert, so mix is a true mix and Duck is a true Duck when you get an alert. hope that makes sense:applause:
