Mine was just delivered! On time with no detailed tracking needed. :applouse:
No plans to install for a few days. Too busy right now with the family. Will do it when the kid returns to school.

Why don't you just pay it online and show them the statement that says the payment was made on <date>?Quote:

After updating all the firmware and attempting to power on the unit the first 9 or 10 attempts ended like this...

I then attempted to reload firmware (which it skipped I assume since it was the same version) and then this happened 3 or 4 times...

I again attempted to reload the firmware (skipped again) and it finally turned on properly... then it died during my first test. Note that I was still shooting with my tester for a few seconds after it died. I clipped the video since there was about 30 seconds of nothing as I tried various things assuming the LI tester was having issues while standing in front of the car lol

Seems to be working now...

Everything is working fine. The buzzing noise is because you are in pro mode and are getting hit with a second shot.
Most likely you did not let the update complete when updating the voicepack initially. It takes much longer to update than firmware.. Almost 4+ minutes.
The update did take longer than the previous ones. I think the system died during the update after it attempted to reboot itself and the sound was somewhat distorted as it died. So you are probably right in that something likely didn't finish updating. I am just glad it's working well now. This may be a sign that I should use a newer flash drive for updates even.Quote:

Just ordered mine from Alex at KMPH. What steps need to be done after swapping out Control Modules? I'm thinking a new setup, bin and UCSET file are all that's needed, other than the HiFi update with voice park files.
Installing now, gunna make a video too :D
Having issues with it going blue, then blinking red, then turning off when the USB isn't plugged in, and my settings didn't transfer. Re-grabbing a settings file and trying again, though the setup.alp I got it to save with the stick in says its in LID mode, it didn't alert or blink at my PL3, will update shortly.
Please remember you need to update the cpu firmware and then both the control set firmware and add a voicepack file.
Sorry green then red, dunno what's up...Quote:

Did you update the CPU firmware first. Old firmware will not recognize the new HiFi correctly.Quote:

Working mode Parking and Laser Interference Defense
Firmware version 4.5.2
But the light t'was green my friend.
I've since re-done the setup.alp and interference mode is working, but still having troubles booting up... May be voltage, but it's odd.
I'm uploading some videos now, need to get something I can merge movs with from my t4i one of these days (lol lazy)

When external led goes steady green you are 50% done wirh the update. Let it keep going and the control set will continue flashing.
Just curious, when you did your setup file, did you by chance uncheck your sensors? I accidentally did that once, and got the green light.
Green LED is also parking mode and normal if LID is not set to unlimited and if skip warmup is not selected it will be in parking mode for 60 seconds before switching to defense.Quote:

Control Set has its own internal memory. It has to be attached to the CPU to update.Quote:

They charge a fee for online or over the phone payments. I hate Fidelity bank. They also don't pay interest on the escrow money (part of the original mortgage contract, which they bought from Chase) I've complained to the NYS banking commission and they won't do anything because it's an out-of-state bank and "not subject to State rules", despite both the property and original contract being in NYS. (Thank you sooooooooo much Ronald Reagan for that wonderful piece of banking deregulation).Quote:

Your red beeping is your parking sensors after the update. You are too close to an object in front or behind you. Update was installed fine.Quote:

So put ucset.bin and take the hifi bin out?
Maybe we should get someone to post step by step instructions on what to do after the new HiFi control module is installed.
What files to load and in what order. Also, how long can we expect each file to take to fully load. That may help with people powering down the ALP before a full update has taken place. Seems like people are having difficulty with this. Just a thought.
Don't load anything just switch the control sets. Firmware for the control sets gets installed in the control sets and has nothing to do with the CPU. Once updated there is no need to load the files over and over.Quote:

I think this is the issue... The External LED stops blinking at the half way point and some might think it froze but its normal and they just need to wait until it reboots which can take 2 more minutes.Quote:

I made completely sure mine was done before I did anything, and I did a soft power off with the button after updating, so it was definitely done.
Uploading new videos now, old control set works great, every time. New control set is hit-and-miss.
And you definitely uploaded the UCSTHIFI.BIN successfully to the new HiFi Controller? And uploaded a full Voice Pack file?Quote:

So BRD, to be clear, right now I have a USB key inserted all the time as I run in privacy mode. I have the key file, bin, ucset and setup file on the USB drive now. Total of 4 files. The steps I need to do after receiving the new HiFi controller are:
1- swap out controller to new HiFi controller
2 -Update the CPU firmware - (first newer file)
3- Update the new Control Set Firmware and add voicepak files as well (2nd and 3rd new files)
4- Power Down the unit after the ALP system has uploaded all the new files
5- Re-start the system
I don't use the little LED light the system came with, I just use the light on the old/new controller
I should have a total of five files now on the USB drive I leave inserted for privacy mode? (key, bin, ucsethifi, setup, voicepak)??? If I'm missing something please advise.
Do it in stages.... Swap 1 and 2....Quote:

Definitely, else wise the voice wouldn't work at all. All files, ucset, hifi, setup, and firmware are all present.
I just seem to be the winner on defective hardware BRD, no need to rush a new one or anything, let ALP take a look at the videos and see what they think. Maybe we need to force a reflash (how to do)? I'll be happy to run any diagnostics you guys need.
Confirmed, I am on 4.5.2 as well.

Okay, thanks. So once everything is swapped out and new files uploaded, what files should I have on the USB stick? Again, I leave it in all the time as I run in privacy mode.Quote:

then hook up new controller, then put controller and voice pack files on USB and update! Done?
That is what I have done several times with no issues. I will do more testing tomorrow and see if I can get a video put together. Its already 11:30pm here.Quote:

Good night BRD--get some sleep
