There IS a LED on the control module that lights up when it matters (when you're being hit) although I can see this being a problem if you're also running Pro Mode...

Yes I do realize that but I run dark mode and pro mode so if the LEO is not actively targeting my car then the LED stays off. Plus, the LED tells me where the control unit is but not exactly where the buttons are so in stressful situations, I don't want to spend that extra second remembering whether the buttons are on the left or the right of the LED
What I think it's great about the ALP is during an alert you can hit any button and it doesn't matter which one to kill the jammers.

Any update on the HI FI---Its time to produce ;)))
For the people who can't wait but use the bluetooth app. Just get a bluetooth speaker to run through your apple product...sounds amazing. ..
This does work well, But problem is that the system is then still not an independent system and if your like me that would serve you no purpose, Altho it has worked for many, For me not so much and im awaiting the HiFi as well.....
When i travel im on the road for 14 hours before i break and i have found myself at some points turning the radio down and opening the window, Where at which that point i would only have the visual alert LED to let me know im being painted with lidar, Yes im not worried about jamming but i dont JTG and dont want to draw any attention to myself...
The other thing is that when i plug my Iphone into my car radio it runs everything to the radio so that i would not have the ability use the B/T speaker because it would just bypass the B/T Module..
In all honestly even if you have HiFi but turn the radio up and roll the windows down you will still have a hard time hearing the alert. If you push BT through your radio it would be the best option if you like the crank the radio up or use the mute wire and have it mute the radio when an alert occurs. There is no way to satisfy everyone but all we can do is add various options and leave it to the customer to choose which is best for them.
Honestly if you have issues with the volume, I think the best thing you can do is to mount the standard control set right near your steering wheel and turn the volume all the way up to 5. It is far, far easier to hear alerts from that thing not only because of the volume, but because of the frequencies used. The other alternative, of course, is to use the Hi Fi Control Set, and mount the speaker on the side of the driver's headrest, pointed directly at your ear.
I was saying that when i drive on long trips i tend to turn the radio volume down all the way, when i do this i can no longer hear my alerts if i was to get tagged... Yes i know i will still be covered but i dont want to JTG... If i cant hear my alert then thats what i would end up doing...
I do understand no can make everyone happy all the time, Tom I am NOT unhappy with my ALP Purchase, It was and still is the best investment.. My thoughts on the HiFi was so that if i am on a long road trip and i turn my radio down and i get tagged i will still be able to hear the alert, so weather im cranking up the music or just driving quiet down the road i will never have to worry about missing an alert..
It was more of a general statement and not directly geared to you but I was also thinking you were mentioning pumping the music up and not turning it down and the mute would help if you liked to pump it up. The radio muting would get your attention in that case.
