AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[BestRadarDetectors]

I did the update again just now with a freshly downloaded set of files and still the buttons on the hi-fi control set don't work. The led light continues to blink, parking sensors work, laser defense works, just the control set buttons don't. Any suggestions?

I am out at the moment. I will PM you something to try in the morning. In the mean time can you send me a video of what is happening when you press and hold the menu button?

[CommandrKeen]

Sure thing. I sent a PM with the video.

BRD, as CommandrKeen asked, what's the advantage of performing the warmup at startup? What exactly does it do -- is it just a self-test?

New Update is getting ready to be rolled out. It will take 24-48 hours for everyone's unit to be activated for this update. Please try to wait for the update email informing you that the update is ready for you.

Outstanding ongoing technological advancements...cutting edge

IMPORTANT thing to note about new update is that there is again improved self-test diagnostics to try to inform you of issues before they occur.

After this update the he System will notify you if it's hardware configuration has never been memorized. If after uploading the new firmware the System alerts you with fast beeps in the first 5 seconds of operation and with a constant red LED light, once the alert has finished you will need to Reset to factory defaults and memorize sensors:

• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT five times (5)
• Press ENTER.
• Then reprogram your System to your desired configuration with your own setup.alp file.
• After doing this you may Count sensors to check if the correct number of sensors has been memorized:
• Long press MENU to enter Yellow menu
• Press NEXT six times (6)
• Press ENTER.
• The System will let you know the number of connected sensors.
