Anyway I Just noticed on my Apple ALP App, when hooked up there is a flashing white symbol in upper right corner now that I have never seen? Looks like a Dish with flashing wi-fi ))))) ?
Gps
I dont have GPS? I have never never seen that symbol until right now after I updated?
Its the iphone GPS status - flashing = obtaining lockQuote:

Minor bug.... Will get fixed shortly. For users that use an attached GPS the speed will be fed from the attached GPS instead of the phone's GPS. This way users with iPods with no GPS will be able to see speed readings.
Ahhhh cool---did this bug just appear today with the update Tom?
That's great Tom - glad to see the AL team took on board another of the requests :)Quote:

Did the behavior of the parking sensors change with version 4.5.1? I got a solid red light on my ALP when pulling into the garage today. When I pushed the POWER button once, the light went to flashing (and the parking sensor beeps started up). One more press of the POWER button and the light was back to solid red.
Short press on the power button turns the parking sensors on or off. This was always that way. You might have turned them off previously not realizing it and when off the light will illuminate with no sounds.Quote:

Does the GPS Function work based on the settings but just not reflect on the app? Need some more information to get to the bottom of it. We have another firmware update scheduled within the next 2 weeks so if the issue is with the 4.5.1 update we should be able to correct the issue quickly in the next update.Quote:

But the GPS Function was still working? (Muting under set speeds, etc,) Just the speed was not displayed on the iPhone? You also need to go to the app settings and give permission for the app to use the GPS with the latest IOS versions.Quote:

Only some users have issues with others running the same ALP Connect and the iPhone 6 are fine which leads us to believe their might be some hardware differences in certain phones.Quote:

It all went t!!!ts up, with ios8
Because the settings are based on the GPS antenna connected to the CPU but the displayed speed on the app is coming from the phones GPS. So all functions will still work properly but the displayed speed on the phone might not be working if the app does not have access to the phones GPS. AL is working on getting the speed from the attached GPS antenna (Soon) so that you would no longer rely on the phones GPS if you have the direct GPS connected to the CPU.Quote:

Issue with IOS 8.0 is that its not saving the settings.
I'm using iPhone 6 Plus with issues.
The plus apparently is slightly different to the 6
But it's probably all of them in combination with ios8 anyways
Why was the flashing red changed to a solid red? With the old firmware, I could at least tell how far I was from an obstacle by looking at the light (even with the sound turned off). With the solid red light, I cannot do that.Quote:

The CTS-V is like a Vette with four doors..... The Rover is fun and the Jeep is a tank in the snow..... besides, my speed tolerance needs to be reset over the winter or I would use my CM budget on performance mods for the "V"... lolQuote:

Ah, I parsed that as Cayenne Turbo S. Which coincidentally, also has 550hp.Quote:

Haven't been hit by laser thus far but then I haven't been in a while now which is surprising round here.
All wheel drive on the Porsche... Caddy has all that HP to the rear wheels. Our Rover is in the 400 hp club and also AWD
Just updated the other day, and had my first hit with the new firmware last night!
As if there was any doubt who'd come out on top... ;)
