Everything you need to know about the new AL Priority

Is there a complete "how-to" list somewhere on all the functions available from the standard control set buttons? The manual only covers the parking aid features and some of the setup options.

For example, how to switch between defense and detection mode from the control set, or how to turn on recording mode.

Only parking functions are controlled through the control set. All advanced defense modes are set from the setup file created on the ALP Setup site at http://www.alpupdate.com
Many users use a few different color coded USB memory sticks with different programming so they can easily pop one in and within a second or two the ALP will switch all setup options to the settings on the inserted memory stick..

See this Thread - If you are however hit with Laser any button on the control set if pressed will instantly kill defense.

So there's no way to KBJ (Kill Before Jam) if you see the LEO before being shot, short of plugging in a USB drive or powering down the ALP? Can you do it with ALP Connect?

I suppose in that situation you could just keep your finger over the button and as soon as it starts alerting, press it to JTK immediately.

Sounds like a suggestion for a future firmware update, to allow toggling between modes at the press of a button.

I could not see any need to kill your device if its not Jamming. What would be the point? If you are hit you press the button and kill it or set it to automatically kill at 3-4 seconds.
If you dont want the jammer operating press the power button and turn it off and turn it back on when you want to use it.

To avoid jamming when you don't have to, say if you see the LEO and slowed before being shot. And to get confirmation of the shot and a gun ID.

Anyway, you answered the question. The easiest/quickest way is to just be ready and hit the button immediately to JTK.

I know what you mean , the Li has a switch to pass from jam to listen only , i often use it and
it is very usefull to gather information.

Here an example , you hear the sound when i switch from jamable to listen @ 14
i had a feeling cop was there , so i was 47\50 , no need to jtk ...safer...dont awake
local cops, as i pass there 4 times a day .

I do wish Alp implement such mechanical switch , unless it is already in existence
but i am not aware of.

Hi,

I just got the ALP unit today. I can't seem to get out of Parking mode, the LED always blinks green. I already update the firmware for the CPU box and the control unit. I also put went to the website and customized a Setup file and have the ALP unit download the Setup file (PDC & LID chosen). But my unit will not go into laser defense (blue) mode, it only stays in parking (green) mode.

Also, how does one work with the bluetooth module? When I plugged it in place of the control unit and gave power to the CPU, nothing turned on.

I wish there was some sort of manual somewhere for these options/modules.

Thanks!

Sounds like you either did not load your firmware correctly or you did not load your setup file with defense settings:
See this thread: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...ur-AL-Priority

Also the Bluetooth manual is in this thread at the bottom of the first post: http://radarandlaserforum.com/showth...h-Users-Manual

BRD, I followed through with that instruction twice but it didn't work. I also did a manual head test and the CPU correctly counted 4 heads. The short firmware version called out 1.1.4. I'm stumped.

I will call you guys tomorrow. Thanks!

After you did the firmware update, did you remember to do a factory reset? If I remember correctly you load the first file and then do a factory reset. From there you can load the other two files. BRD, RR or Mirage, does that sound right?
