ALP Connect (Apple Version for AL Priority) with Users Manual

[BestRadarDetectors]

Hey Tom
What are some of the new features we have to look forward to in this release? Also if someone does run it prior to updateFW what will happen?

Was asked not to discuss features until the weekend. App will freeze if you install before the firmware update is out since CPU will not understand some of the commands. Just hold off until the new firmware is released next Tuesday.

hope there will be an option, to have the k/ka id #, switched on or off when in the car setting

ALP Connect new app was submitted to iTunes last week. Waiting patiently for iTunes to post up the latest version. Latest version will require a new firmware update and if using the Radar Integration will require a new setup file be created on the ALP Update site: http://www.alpupdate.com

Here is a breakdown on the newest update. Posted in this thread because many are ALP Connect improvements:

1. STiR M-edition antenna support added. Now can be fully configured on alpupdate web. Multaradar CD detection has a separate distinct alert & sound.
2. Control Set keyboard gained another function, a button double-click. Also Control Set keyboard button long press did not work at moments, issue resolved.
3. Added City Mode filtering of Radar alerts. Two modes, CityYellow indicated by yellow beep and CityRed indicated by red beep. Modes affect Radar K and X band alerts only. Fully user configurable via online alpupdate setup page. Change City Mode on your ALP by a double-click of a Control Set’s Power button. If using ALPConnect - view alerts for filtered radar signals on flashing City/Highway icon.
4. Fog lights ON/OFF now a tri state button ON/STROBE/OFF, indicated by Constant/Flashing/No green light. Will work only with AL sensors with built in fog feature.
5. Added Dim mode option. Yellow Menu 3 now is a multi-choice 1-OFF, 2-DIMMED, 3-DARK. Dimmed mode is similar to Dark mode but after 10 seconds does not turn off LED blinking completely but just reduces LED intensity (external LED is still turned OFF completely).
6. Added K Band segmentation. K1 (23950-24000), K2 (24000-24050), K3 (24050-24100), K4 (24100-24150), K5 (24150-24200), K6 (24200-24250) MHz and a K Wide (23950-24250) MHz choice. Configurable over alpupdate web page. Use segmentation to remove alerts from Vehicle collision radars (usually >24200 MHz) and from nearby radar-detectors (usually <24100 MHz).
7. Privacy KeyLock mode changed. EEPROM has been designated to store KeyLock activation. Now the activation via Key press has to be done only once and will be remembered after power off. The activation will be cleared when hit by a Laser (a Laser alert).
8. Improved signaling of Front/Rear Laser hit, front laser hit going to behind will be properly shown as front arrows are replaced with rear arrows once laser has switched.
9. Added AutoMute for Radar alerts only. If enabled initial Radar alerts start at set volume for 6 seconds and then automatically lower to discrete volume level for the remainder of the alert. When alert finishes next alert is again announced at full set volume.
10. Added support for various ALPConnect features. Writte to USB, System information, Reset to defaults,…

Can you apply the firmware update before the update to the app get's online? I have my apps set to auto update. It would be nice to update the firmware now.

Firmware is supposed to go Live today sometime. Wait until firmware is posted and then upgrade the new setting file. You can put both the setup file and firmware update on the same USB key and update both at the same time.

Does ALPconnect currently support 2 separate CPU being connected to it? or will I need a second Iphone.

Also is there any possibility of getting larger radar freq txt on ALPc as I find it impossible to read while concentrating on the road

You can only connect to one CPU at a time. There is a large list of customer requests for future changes to the ALP Connect app. Based on priorities I dont think we will see many changes to the Apple connect app for a little while, The HiFi Module needs to get completed, they have to finish some new algo's for some newer guns and need to get the Android app worked on, etc.

I've noticed that if I have my iPhone connected via the port to the USB input of my car to play music that the volume drops and the alerts do not interrupt the music and come over the cars speakers which, logically I thought it would.
Should it in your opinion and or is there something you think I can check

[Abarth695]

Is there a way to verify your firmware with b/t module
