Thank you.
It basically makes it so that the LED doesn't blink once a second and ONLY comes on when you are being targeted. It should work like this:
1. When you turn on the ALP it will go through it's normal startup (depending on your other settings)
2. If you have it set for parking mode you will see a green light at first
3. If you have LID mode then you will see a blue light following the green light when it enters LID mode.
4. Once in the LID mode the LED will turn off.
5. Now when you are targeted you will see a pulsed red LED from the controller (or LED if you have it connected) Indicating you are receiving a laser source.
6. This LED will flash as you are being targeted so if the user cycles the gun (ie off trigger on trigger) then you will see that in the LED.
I use the external LED (up on dash) and use dim and dark modes so only the controller blinks (dim). So question is how long will the LED blink when targeted if not in Pro mode? Is there a default time, kind of like how a RD has a hold time even after the signal goes away. Example -RedLine is somewhere around 8 seconds or so even if radar was only 1 second, so if laser hit of 1 second (not in Pro mode) how long will ALP alert?
I'll have to try it. To be honest I always ran it in PRO mode after I understood what it did, but I've been running the bluetooth for a while now so I'll have to plugin the controller and test it out.Quote:

Professional operating mode.
When hit by a laser in Pro mode the LED will flash only while the laser gun is firing.
In Standard mode the LED stays Red for the whole duration of the alert (Default OFF).
It would be good to see some video how it works :encouragement:
It's possible the "blink once a second" could have been a side effect of the DIM setting which I probably had enabled. It probably does blink once a second depending on your setting. But when being targeted the LED will flash as it is receiving a lidar source. If the trigger on the gun is cycled you WILL see it on the LED. From the ALP update site it states:
"By enabling Pro Mode, when laser interference is detected LED will blink only while you are being targeted."
Yes, that's a nice option. I even was thinking to look on it in some place where I expect a LIDAR, when some other car is going in front of me. But I always forget to look on this LED if is red or not when I hear a LID sound.Quote:

Can we say then : when the led is flashing , the Alp is jamming ?
It would be the equivalent of the led flashing on the Li switch ?
Thanks.
Yep exactly the same.Quote:

Mirage would you verify ?
Yes you continue to see the led flash if you are targeted even after it goes into detection only mode.
Perfect , this is what i wantedQuote:

I think when you JTK it goes to detect-only mode to continue alerting until the LEO stops shooting, then it flips to parking mode afterward until it recycles to jam mode.
Bingo. It all depends on your settings.Quote:

becarefull with this and this goes with any AL jammer but while its in one minute warm up ...if you are tagged with laser it actually delays the warm up period ...for example im sitting at traffick lights and there is a poliscan ahead ...my system will either restart of I flick the switch ...while im still waiting for the lights to turn green I have re armed my AL but if these lights do not change and im still getting hit with lidar my AL will not start up until the threat has gone some times been over 3 minutes ....for member that own lidar and AL give it agoQuote:

also I have had laser based cruise control set off my rear ALps ...the bloody thing wouldn't arm its self until the car behind had gone
this also goes the same way on constant ...if there is any lidar present while turning on the key it will not start up
Does it alert to the laser during the warm-up, so at least you know you're unprotected?Quote:

LI no alert while in parking mode soon as it comes out of parking mode to defence mode instant alert no delay
I never tested this with the 905s they where not on the car long enough to test
New setup option on the ALP allows you to skip initial warmup if you choose. Create a new setup file with the option enabled if you want to use the new feature.Quote:

Nice. ALP is a great jammer now, by the time I'm ready to get one (probably next year) it'll be perfect. Just a few feature tweaks, the HiFi control set, and a winning lottery ticket and I'll be ready. ;)Quote:
