No, A smartcord mute alert will not work with installed detectors because they do not operate the same as a windshield mounted unit. Just press the mute button the ALP Controller or the Smartphone app if you want to quickly mute a radar alert.Quote:

18. With a front and rear sensor setup, in the Recent Alarm Page, it would tell if you got hit in the front sensors or the rear sensors. This would be very helpful for Poliscan Alerts.
Not sure if this has been asked yet (forgive me in advance)...
I have a LI Quad setup with extension cables for my rear heads. The question is...can I use those extension cables with the ALP heads should I choose to replace my LI Quad with a ALP Quad?
from what i have learned, the pin outs are different and the wire dia,which i dont think will be a problem, if u correct the pin outs in new plugs, because of all the major refitting new cables, i did suggest like a short conversion lead if it was a possible
I'm new here, though not to CMs, but came here to learn more about the ALP in terms of how it can be integrated with external equipment (i.e. something created by a 3rd party, not ALP's accessories alone).
For example, if an external device can "know" when the ALP is jamming and if there's a way for such device to kill jamming (JTK). Does the radio mute activate only when jamming? Does it give any indication as to when jamming starts and ends? Does it activate during other situations, such as errors or parking sensing? Is there any kind of serial interface that is available for use or is it strictly a proprietary interface? Laser Interceptor in particular has a serial port which can provide this information including what gun is being jammed and for how long. I'm wondering if ALP has something similar. Worst case, the radio mute will work if it mainly activates during jamming, and JTK can always be done by cutting power. I'm just wondering what else is available for I/O.
The wire you're interested in is the relay wire. It will activate when jamming, but the mute does too. You can also use the LED, but it will flash when being targeted. (if you have it in pro mode). Bluetooth would be the way to go if you wanted to completely interface with the CPU. One nice feature they implemented in the ALPConnect app is the ability to JTK and continue receiving the alerts. You just tap the car on the screen and it will change from Blue to Yellow indicating it is in detection only mode. Blue is defense mode.Quote:

If the bluetooth module can JTK, so should any other device that can connect to the CPU in the same manner as the bluetooth module, correct? Bluetooth is great if you have a smartphone, but not everyone does.
I believe its ground triggered. Tom may know I haven't tested it yet.Quote:

You could easily add a JTK switch, buy purchasing a toggle switch at the local auto-parts store. Install it in the 12volt loop from the fuse to the CPU. Switch is on, unit is on. Switch to off, the whole thing is off.
