Yes, The app needs to run and its best to leave it running 100% of the time and it will auto connect every-time you start the car. Basic instructions are included with the product but its really simple plug and play. Connect it to the controller port and open the app on your phone and it will ask for the PIN on the back of the unit enter it and your are done.Quote:

The latest update indicates
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!
How can I tell if my module is recent.?
The numbers on it are 5123A BGTBLE112
Update the firmware and hit the update button. It will either tell you that you are current or that your BT module needs to be updated.Quote:

When I add the BT module do I need to unplug the control set? I kind of like it where it is also will I be able to keep the led light connected?
Yes, To add the BT you need to unplug the Control Set and plug in the BT. The External LED will still stay and work as it always has.Quote:

So I think great my first chance to give this alp a real test but I look at my led light and notice it's green. Crap now I scramble for the tablet to see what's up as I grab it I hear it connect. But still green so I slow lift and slow to get past Leo with no alert and no real time test. But now I'm thinking the the blue tooth is not so great. I think I'm going to go back to the always connected control set just use the blue tooth for updates. Has anybody had this kind of problem losing connection?
I find the app needs to be restarted once in awhile.
I had issues with it on my s4, so sticking to the iPhone which has been rock solid.

my replacement just arrived :D
Thanks I like the iPhone idea. I will switch out the tablet for iPhone and see how that holds up.
Is it possible to connect 2 CPUs to the Bluetooth app in the same time with 1 phone? I mean to have 1 CPU in the rear trunk, 1 CPU in the front. I can't manage easily the wires going from front to rear of the car. Thanks
No, you can only connect your one CPU at a time using BT.Quote:
