AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[kimberdan]

You found the only bug that we realized with the new firmware. Nothing is wrong with your setup but the ports were accidentally reversed when a check sensor is called (This was already correctly and will be fixed in the next upcoming update in a few weeks). F1 is listed as F3 and vise versa and R1 is listed as R2 and vise versa. In order to make the system act only as parking sensors when traveling under a pre-set speed you need to have the GPS added to the system. If you have GPS attached it will also only ignore alerts if a GPS signal is present. If it does not have a lock it will Jam to make sure you are protected if you lose GPS Signal so if testing in a garage etc with no GPS signal the unit will Jam.

Well thats good, As long as i am protected, I dont care what is says LoL.... As for as the GPS thing, I understand now.. Thank you or clearing that up...

ok now when i go in to change the volume the LED changes to red/blue and stays lit. I now have no volume number it just says volume weather i press it up or down and if i hit the buttons like you stated to do, it will either go in to muted or fog lights.. To get the volume menu to come up i have to press both of the buttons just the right way and then hit the power button again to get the volume option to come up
Tom tell me im doing something wrong, LoL
I have gone back and reloaded the entire software including the up date voice packs etc etc.. still nothing...

When you press both buttons and hold them you do not get the PINK LED? Once the LED turns pink the Power button = Lower and the Menu Button = Higher. Try again. I just tested and it works fine with the new firmware.

Mine doesn't say the number of volume anymore which I did like. Also, I think I asked about this before, but is it possible for one of the future updates to flash a different color on the control module to let you know your ALP is muted? I sometimes mute it when backing up and forget to turn it back on because the blue LED shows it active like defense mode.

Spoke with Tom and got it all taken care of, I was just used to getting an audio alert that says volume and now that i dont i was unclear if i was in the menu for the volume... It might seem petty but i to kinda like the volume with the number..
But again like i have already said as long as it works that all i care about

We have them in stock and will put them on the website by Monday to purchase them.

I did the update but it is saying that it is software 454? Does this sound right?

Is a new Control Set download needed for this latest 5.1.1 if I'm already up to date? Firmware page still says "Present version 3.5; 2014-12-22" for Control Set.
