Update went well here too! Voice pack took a couple min like you said. Thanks for the heads up about that needing to be done. I love that the "Active!" can be removed now. My future passengers and I thank you. ;)
Same here : all fine ...time to prepare a coffee and voilà.
I did'nt have to reset my setup.
Thanks Tom and Alp Team.
Tom can you elaborate in which way it is now more effective , due the Tx shoot out findings.
yep all good here :encouragement:
Did factory reset & loaded all 3 files. Control * Setup * Firmware. All went GREAT!
Sorry.. I cant give specifics.Quote:

Good here also, look forward to test this Sunday in Atlanta.
Hello Tom
Thanks for keeping things current
Excellent customer service and product support, as usual.
My question ..
I have not updated since 12-22-14
When bringing my ALP (with Hi fi) up to date should I install every update in sequence, or will installing the latest update include those I have not done?
Take care
Ed
No, You just need the latest version. The latest update always includes all previous updates in the one update.Quote:

Did you enable skip first warm up? That would probably be your minute delay
Well there appears to be 2 - 1 minute delays. I did not change anything other than use defaults, silent startup. After 1 minute, the light goes purple and does that drum beat... then another minute - another drum beat. I was already driving down the road when I heard the second one and thought... what is that?Quote:

A couple comments on the new update.
After updating, when I press both buttons on the hifi control set, I no longer go into menu mode. Nothing happens. I've tried short presses of both buttons and long presses of both buttons. Even tried short and long presses of each button individually. I can't seem to get into the menu options any more. Anyone else experience this, or perhaps I am doing something wrong?
Second comment is do most people perform the self test at startup? I have always turned it off, but wonder now if that is a best practice.
Both Buttons is only to adjust the volume. To go into the menu you just need to press and hold the menu button.Quote:

I can't do this with the control set. My bad, I thought both buttons also got you into the menu. I'm still new to the Hi-Fi as I previously only used the BT module.
Even still, holding the menu button won't put me into the menu. The light flashes on the hi-fi control set, but the buttons don't seem to do anything.
Hold both buttons and when the light turns purple release both and then either press the Menu (Up) or Power (Down) and it should say Volume 2, 3, Etc.Quote:

Any help is appreciated.
Did you ever update the firmware on the HiFi Controller since you purchased it? Not talking about the CPU Firmware.Quote:

I re-downloaded my firmware, ucsthifi.bin, voicepck.alp, and setup.alp files and deleted the old control set file. I'll let you know if this solves the problem.
not to hijack, done the new f/w np, running apple and bt, got hit with laser and it lists ur speed and time, never noticed before
Yea thats been there since day one I think--from what I remember when I was running B/TQuote:

I did the update again just now with a freshly downloaded set of files and still the buttons on the hi-fi control set don't work. The led light continues to blink, parking sensors work, laser defense works, just the control set buttons don't. Any suggestions?
I am out at the moment. I will PM you something to try in the morning. In the mean time can you send me a video of what is happening when you press and hold the menu button?Quote:

BRD, as CommandrKeen asked, what's the advantage of performing the warmup at startup? What exactly does it do -- is it just a self-test?
New Update is getting ready to be rolled out. It will take 24-48 hours for everyone's unit to be activated for this update. Please try to wait for the update email informing you that the update is ready for you.
Details of the 5.1.3 update: (07/16/15)
Control Box Firmware update: Release 5.1.3/6.3
1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (Self-test,Voice, Regions, Radars, GPS etc.).
2. Laser interference performance improved for several guns.
3. New Service code Sixty to Zero is available (Yellow 7: 3-2-2). This will temporarily turn your ALP system into a performance meter able to measure your vehicles Braking time from 60 mph to 0 mph. This mode only works if a GPS Antenna is connected and if a HiFi Control Set is used.
4. New Service code Quarter-Mile is available (Yellow-7: 3-2-3). This will temporarily turn your ALP system into a performance meter able to measure your vehicles time to cross a distance of a ¼ mile from a full stop. Time in seconds and exit speed in mph is given as a result. This mode only works if a GPS Antenna is connected and if a HiFi Control Set is used.
5. Initial Release to Support “Over the Air” OTA wireless firmware updates of the ALP system over the ALPConnect® smartphone app. The latest ALP BT Module is required! The 5.1.3 firmware update needs to be applied via USB flash drive and only then will future updates be possible on the OTA feature of the ALPConnect!
6. Support for German and Hungarian Voicepacks for the ALP HiFi Control Set (must download voicepack separately!).
7. New selectable option: GPS signal lost - voice warning. It can be set to announce loss of GPS lock: every time, during longer absence of signal, or only the first time it happens.
8. New feature, Get Serial Number of your ALP Control Box to a USB. Insert a USB flash drive containing an empty "getsn.alp" file on it and the ALP will write an "sn.alp" file containing the serial number onto the USB drive.
Control Set firmware update 3.6
1. Volume of radar alerts during AutoMute muting is louder
ALPConnect - Android Ver 1.4A
1. Minor bug fixes.
2. ALP GPS Antenna can be used as a Speedometer.
3. Supports OTA Firmware updates.
Outstanding ongoing technological advancements...cutting edge :thumb:
IMPORTANT thing to note about new update is that there is again improved self-test diagnostics to try to inform you of issues before they occur.
After this update the he System will notify you if it's hardware configuration has never been memorized. If after uploading the new firmware the System alerts you with fast beeps in the first 5 seconds of operation and with a constant red LED light, once the alert has finished you will need to Reset to factory defaults and memorize sensors:
• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT five times (5)
• Press ENTER.
• Then reprogram your System to your desired configuration with your own setup.alp file.
• After doing this you may Count sensors to check if the correct number of sensors has been memorized:
• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT six times (6)
• Press ENTER.
• The System will let you know the number of connected sensors.
Will the updated ALP connect App for Apple be available Monday as well?
Don't know... Apple can sometimes take forever to approve an update, It was submitted so its a wait and see.Quote:
