    Are there any plans on ALP being able to switch between jam and detect WITHOUT changing that via USB?

    I would love to be able to switch between those settings so for areas I drive a lot and openly see radar I wont be jamming them 10 times a day (literally that many lol) I now know you can hit the control pad to kill jamming but that is only once and alert has gone off.

    You can already do it with the control pad and switch between the LID Settings:

    Press MENU and hold as long as LED light turns from Yellow to Blue and you can manually change these blue-menu options:

    1. PDC/DLI/LID option setup
    Pres MENU/Next once (1) when in a blue menu, then press Enter (LED will turn white when you enter submenu)
    Press MENU/Next once, twice, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten times depending on your preference (choose below) then press Enter to activate.
    1 – for Parking detection only
    2 – for PDC&DLI detection only
    3 – for 3 seconds LID defense
    4 – for 4 seconds LID defense
    5, 6, 7, 8,
    9 – for 9 seconds LID defense
    10 – for time unlimited LID defense

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    That's a pain IMO. That might be ok for somewhere with not a lot of radar.. Im not exagerrating when I say 10 times a day, I dont want to have to continually be going through the menu like that.

    Just a one click on/off that only switches between the two modes detect only and previous setting

    I don't want to have to remember 8000 menu clicks. Just a one click on/off that only switches between the two modes detect only and previous setting
    Its 2 buttons and about 5 button presses. I think you are exaggerating by around 7995 menu clicks. It will take a few seconds..

    Exaggerating button clicks, Yes. Exaggerating how many times a day you would have to do that here, No. lol

    This is my only quirk with it, for on the fly changes the control pad is caveman era. A dedicated mode button to toggle between modes would have been a great idea.

    I see what you are saying, have your custom loads stored in the control unit itself so you dont need to keep loading thru USB, and All anyone needs to do is go to a page on the ALP connect and pick the load you want to run Sounds like a great thing to have but not sure it can be done at this time.

    Thats kind of another thing which would also be a nice feature.

    I basically just want a button to switch modes from detect only mode and then back for 30 secs while i drive past radar vans in my area multiple times a day so I dont get labelled as "that black f150 that has problems getting a speed reading"

    I understand I can kill the jam every time but id rather just turn defense mode off for 30 secs with the press of a button while i pass and then turn it back on and they have no clue about a jam at all

    Callllllll me crazy, but for the $2000 im into this thing for i would have expected that to be a feature lol

    I agree with you.
    I have suggested many times to no avail to be able to go straight from detect to park or what ever setting on the App
    I can't see what the big dal is to do this, apart from time and money, but this is part of continued development fro any App
    I particularly want to be able to change straight to Parking mode with a different screen that does not look so obvious to police, so if I get pulled over it does not look suspicious at all.
    Australia you will get thousands of dollar fines and loss of points on your license and I'm sure there are other countries where the least attention you get, the better
