AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

You need to load a new setup file since several setup options changed.

Prior to my receiving a "CHECKSUM FAILED", I downloaded each newly generated file directly from the ALP Update website. (See my post above from 9:02 PM this evening) The Configuration file, with Profiles A/B/C, was also newly generated directly from the ALP website.

My systems do NOT have the new Net radar antenna. All components of both ALP systems are exactly the same as they were for the last three or four Control Box updates.

winterbrew.....did you also download ALL of your files directly from the ALP Update website? Or did you download only the new ALP Control Box firmware 5.2.5/6.8 file? Its interesting that we both had the same verbal warning, that I have never heard before.

I was going to ask if this would be necessary for those without the Net Radar. Guess it is. I'll generate a new config.alp when I download the new firmware hopefully today.

I suggest if a new firmware requires creating a new configuration, that it's mentioned in the post announcing/describing the new firmware.

Everyone will need to load a new settings file after this update. If you are only running Laser you can use the factory defaults which would be Laser Defense with a LID Setting of 4 Seconds.

Just did my OTA, no problem except I see that I also need to load a new setup file because my light is now flashing instead of on constant, Have be busy and have not had time to do Net radar install yet. Just want to get software loaded. I like to do install in steps, so if there is a problem it makes it easier to isolate the problem.

Does not matter. Just run a factory reset and load new configuration file and you will be good to go.

I performed a "Reset Defaults and Memorize Sensors" on both ALP systems. I then inserted the flash drive into each ALP system's USB port. System said "Data Stored" within a couple of seconds. I checked all functions possible via the Yellow Menu....all were what I had selected/downloaded. I then performed the "Print Use and Statistics" function for both systems, printed the results, and compared them to the Configuration file with 3 Profiles which I had downloaded. All device information and Profile A/B/C Settings match exactly what I had selected. I don't know what caused the CHECKSUM FAILED message, but everything appears normal and OK. I'll probably be checking one of my car's ALP systems in the near future to verify the system is operating correctly and providing maximum protection.

Thanks for the advice.

Luckily I had no Checksum Fail messages. I copied update and config to my USB and everything updated without issue.

I received the checksum error when I first installed the firmware update. I downloaded a fresh copy of the new firmware a second time but it did not reinstall after plugging the USB stick into the control box a second time. However, everything appears to have installed correctly the first time. I'm up and running with the new ALP connect and the dual radar antenna.

Did an OTA firmware update with my original USB stick in situ (have privacy key setup). All went as expected with no checksum failed warning. The old config file is on the USB stick so does it mean I have a default settings (4secs jam) or my previous settings which was infinite?
