Since updating firmware etc it seems that the Led no longer changes colour when travelling under my stated speed.
I've set LID and Radar to not defend under 40km/h and previously this was acknowledged with the LED changing to a yellowish colour.
I have set up the system correctly so I believe but LED doesn't change and therefore assume would still be in defence mode
Am I alone with this?
I've rest to default and reprogrammed several times but no difference
Thanks
You need to reload a new configuration file.

Thanks for reply
I have done this s few times and does not change anything
I will give it another shot
just make sure it,s got the correct file name correct,
Last update wiped out Radar & GPS settings because those settings have been redone to prepare for changes coming soon. Check to make sure you are putting the new file on the USB drive and that the file name is correct and that you are transferring the new downloaded file to the drive and not an old file that was on your computer previously.Quote:

If you want to keep the same settings, you can upload your old file to the website, then save and download a new one. Then copy to your USB drive, making sure it's named config.alp.
think windows 10 plays tricks on computers, i got two computers and it downloads different on both, one just says config, the other says config.alp , dont ask how or why just make sure its got the correct bit at the end as been mentioned
Thanks for everyone's feedback
Have moved my GPS antenna to a higher more visible position
Am thinking as yet to test drive that GPS was not getting signal and therefore not applying the speed setting. Does this seem plausible?
Will confirm tomorrow when I go to work
One other unusual thing is I get warning radar antenna disconnected but I go driving and get radar alerts
Windows has the annoying habit of hiding certain file extensions by default. If you go to Windows Explorer (or My Computer), select Organize, Folder And Search Options, go to the View tab, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" you'll see the .alp again. :)Quote:

Don't you just love Windows sometimes when you're upgrading to a new driver -"windows has determined that you are already using the best driver" etc.
No, I know best, I'm the Windows admin on this computer here with a masters degree in IT, and its my PC, and if it goes wrong, I'll use system restore :)
First thing I do on a new install, show all files extensions and hidden system files :)
As for Win 10, I've had a few problems upgrading two machines for Win 7, and one from Win 8, always fails after a while with some excuse about bad drivers etc, when you're running the latest, on older hardware (i.e Win 7) that MS should know well.
A few hours later of Googling about upgrading an Intel Compute Stick from Win 8.1 to 10, I found on a forum (not Intels) that I needed to upgrade the BIOS and disable write caching on the SSD to get the upgrade to work.
MS rant over :)
fixed thx on w 10 , click start button, then control panel, appearance and personlization , file explorer options, click (view ) and reset to defaults, sorry nope not fixed , says in download config.alp, but when i go to this pc downloads it only shows config :frusty:Quote:

Maybe you only have file extensions hidden. Just move it to the drive without renaming it.Quote:

WOHOO yep ur on the money brd finally fixed, went bak into control panel as before, and there it was hide file extensions, so unticked and bingo, now showing same on both computers,
thx to radargeek/brd :thumbs2:
Working now. Must have been as I suspected that the GPS antenna was mounted too low and not getting signal therefore not adjusting to the 40km/h speed setting when travelling under that speed. Nothing to do with settings
Still get radar antenna not connected warning however even though connected and get warnings!
Strange that one!
