As long as they aren't in NH or MA I should be ok for now. I drive through CT & NY to NJ every so often (every couple years) so that's the only time there's a possible risk with my LI. I'm too poor to buy an ALP anytime soon. Unless something comes up sooner my next trip to NJ won't be until 2015. In NH it's 99% PL3 and even then it's rare I encounter them.

Sell the LIs as soon as you can. There will be many of them for sale soon. Increased supply lower prices.Originally Posted by radargeek
Come spring I need to put something on my new car. It would be nice to have a shiny new ALP but it's not in the cards (no money). The LI has served me well over the years, and as long as I'm in PL3 country they'll continue to serve me until I can afford something newer.
Even if I get something new (ALP, LI successor or whatever) in the future, I'll hold on to my current LIs for use on the bench for testing my JTK autokill devices. Or maybe a museum will want them. I have "ancient" 8.7 heads.

So I have to wonder can LI not see the ALP solution and replicate it or is the capability in the hardware?

Will not see compact in NJ but a sales rep has been letting departments use them but not issueing citations.

How about regular DALAs? In any NE states other than NY/CT/NJ?

Is the DALA compatibility limited to just ALP sensors, or will people running G9 heads connected to their ALP CPU be able to benefit from this firmware update too?
Myself and BeingAware both run a mix of G9 and ALP currently
Not exactly.
A few months ago when a new 905 firmware came out, there was a new feature added that actually muted the alarms. I didn't realize it at the time and contacted Leon who promptly offered to send me a new CPU because it looked like my 905's were no longer alarming in the cabin even though the heads were firing and so it would prevent me from being able to JTK. He was pretty surprised to hear this because he'd never had a 905 CPU fail. Pretty impressive. Anyways, I realized the issue once that new setting was discovered the be the real problem and then no longer needed a new CPU, but it was great seeing Leon ready to go once I needed him.
A few months prior to that, I contacted him asking for a replacement control switch. I didn't want to remove the one I installed in my car once it was time to return the lease so I wanted a replacement one and to leave the current one in. He offered to send me a replacement control switch free of charge.
So they may not release lots and lots of firmware updates, but in my experience, the customer service has been fantastic.
