First Steps Required After Installing Your AL Priority System

[BestRadarDetectors]

I installed it myself. i ran the update cable i did not do any updates initially i just plugged everything and powered it up. I don't think its operating as the car does not turn blue and the parking sensors don't even seem to work I downloaded the update to a usb and plugged it in but again it does not appear to have done anything different. when i turn the system on it blinks the led a few times and thats about it my phone connects to the system or at least the bluetooth module but not really anything else ? confused

You need to connect the Control Module and do the updates as described above. Once unit is updated the firmware will now fully recognize the Bluetooth module and you will not need the Control module any longer but for the first update you will need to connect the Control Module.

I installed an ALP system yesterday for a friend and it went smooth. I download the firmware, control software and settings file with his serial number but I did not complete the factory reset step.
I have a question about the factory reset. Is it still required for the latest firmware? It seemed to updated without the reset but I want to be sure.

Factory Reset lets the system know the install is done and that it needs to memorize all the sensor locations. Without doing it if you have a sensor failure you will never know since you never did the reset to tell the ALP your install is set. Once you do the factory reset just reload the settings file and you will be good to go and if you have a sensor error in the future the ALP will let you know and also tell you which sensor is having the issue.
