Is this a question? We do not plan to release a new Apple ALP Connect until around the same time that new BT module comes out in Mid-January.

No not at all just saw it today thx

Get one of those $10 to $20 cheap Android phones and use it for just the ALP.. The Android platform is much better since Apple restricts so much on the iPhone platform.

This idea of using an inexpensive Android to run Alp Connect & Blue tooth appeals to me for many reasons.
It seems to me the Android becomes a dedicated operating screen for ALP Connect
So let me hang out my lack of knowledge and ask
- how one accomplishes this without actually opening a cell provider account?
- how the internet then gets accessed for the OTA updates?
- any specific phones to recommend
I do not mean to hijack this thread.
If it is better to PM the answer or to direct me to a different thread please do so

Heck just about any Android 4.2 or higher phone with Bluetooth 4.0 support should work. I have not tested one of these but even this would probably work and its a whopping $10

Just use WiFi to connect it to your regular phone to add internet to the device for updates.

any chance you have a link for updated FW for new HiFi control set?

If you'll take a moment to look @ Post #4, you just might find what you need.

Just go to the ALP Update website: http://www.alpupdate.com

Thanks I did find it and bookmarked it from post#4.

Ok i am lost ...can someone recap what has to be done to be up-to-date.

For what i understand , my system being HiFi , i need to configure like 2 profiles :

A) configure to have Parking Only ''config.alp''
B) configure to have unlimited time to jam : ''config.alp''

I place those 2 ''config.alp'' on my usb.

I download also : voicepck.alp + uXXXXXXX.bin and place them on the same usb . Alp being closed , i place the usb and start the cpu , and wait till process is completed.

Is this right ?

Now how do i switch from profile A to B , and what do i look to know the system status.
( 2. Configuration Profiles! Double-click the Menu button to change between stored A, B or C Profiles. The selected Profile will be announced by voice over the HiFi Control set. This feature is only available on systems with HiFi Controllers. )
I mean aside the voice announcement , do we still have the led color (green/red) on the control box to show us the status ?

I know it sounds weird coming fom an old timer ...just i want to make sure i dont miss a step .

Thanks.
