Playing around with the ALP Connect App

gotta love it.

when spring comes, My blinder m47 in my wife's Honda will be on ebay. She doesn't need it anyway. Glad I went with the alp and not the blinder in my car.

I stand corrected then. When did they start using a GPS chip? Put it in airplane mode and see if it works. If not then they maybe using just the cell positioning, but regardless cool that you can get GPS like service without having cell service.

Try this with your iPhone. I know it won't work:

Still doesn't change the fact that on the ground you still get GPS positioning without cell service which is cool.

The iPhone 4 previously used a BCM4750 single chip GPS receiver, and shared the 2.4 GHz WiFi antenna as shown many times in diagrams. We reported with the CDMA iPhone 4 that Qualcomm’s GPS inside MDM6600 was being used in place of some discrete solution, and showed a video demonstrating its improved GPS fix. I suspected at the time that the CDMA iPhone 4 might be using GLONASS from MDM6600 (in fact, the MDM6600 amss actually flashed onto the CDMA iPhone 4 includes many GLONASS references), but never was able to concretely confirm it was actually being used.

MDM6610 inside the 4S inherits the same Qualcomm GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Gen8 support, namely GPS and its Russian equivalent, GLONASS. The two can be used in conjunction at the same time and deliver a more reliable 3D fix onboad MDM6610, which is what the 4S does indeed appear to be using. GPS and GLONASS are functionally very similar, and combined support for GPS and GLONASS at the same time is something most modern receivers do now. There are even receivers which support the EU’s standard, Galileo, though it isn’t completed yet. This time around, Apple is being direct about its inclusion of GLONASS. The GPS inside MDM6610 fully supports standalone mode, and assisted mode from UMTS, GSM, OMA, and gpsOneXTRA.

Excellent its about time.

I hope in next update AntiLaser add on/off fog light button.

I received the switch today and it works fine. I can switch from BT to wired control.

Yes, the Chinese one looks suitably small - I've just taken a punt on a couple, but looks like the earliest they'll be here is 14th Jan !

Be careful, the one downside is that the ALP controller box and the Bluetooth Module are NOT waterproof , so if you're running them under the hood ( bonnet) you'll need to protect from moisture and water. This is clearly specified in the instructions that come with the Bluetooth module.

Great... I am still waiting for mine.

Me too. Good to know it works
