AL Priority Firmware Update History (Running History)

[syrinx]

Is it possible to have an autostart of the CPU without (BT)? The CPU is in the trunk!

[BestRadarDetectors]

You need either a controller or BT connected to turn on the system. If you have CPU connected to a switched power circuit it will turn on and off w I think the key. If using BT the phone must be running for it to start up.

Details of the 5.1.4 update: (10/08/15)

Control Box Firmware update: Release 5.1.4/6.4

1. Various bug-fixes and stability improvements (USB, GPS etc.).
2. Algorithm tuned for better support of some LIDARs.
3. New Option in yellow menu is available (Yellow-9) “Performance Tests”. This Option will open a sub-menu for all performance tests available in the ALP. Option is available only if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
4. New Performance Test has been added “Lap Time” (Yellow-9). This will temporary turn your ALP system into a GPS Lap Time stopwatch and measure your vehicles time over a full lap. Time in minutes and seconds is given as a result. Mode only works if GPS Antenna is connected and if HiFi Control Set is used.
5. Improved filtering against foreign LCC equipped cars (Volvo, Infinity, VW, Honda, Mazda,…). LCC cars especially behind you will no longer start a false alert
6. Option Manual Sensors Check (Yellow-6) will perform memorize sensors similarly like the Restore Defaults option but without the defaulting your settings.

The main site to regenerate the configuration files (which I always like to do when a new FW is released to make sure I'm not missing any new features) appears to have a sort of bug. When you load a current version of the configuration file (with all of the options that currently exist in the system), it will happily generate a new setup.alp file for you. But if you load an older setup.alp with the intention of taking all of your old features, selecting your desired configuration on anything new, and generating a new setup.alp, then after you click "Save & Download", it goes back to the firmware setup page instead of the page to download the newly generated setup.alp file. Therefore, to generate a new setup.alp file, I had to load the old configuration in one browser tab, start selecting the options in a second browser tab, and switch between the two tabs to make sure that both of them were configured the same.

There have been new features added and even some more on the way. Its best to create a new file from scratch and only use an existing file if you are only making changes not between firmware updates.

I installed the new FW using my BT, boy it go's slow. It went to 100% completion without any problems. When I switch back to HIFI mode, and did a power up, it is telling me to update the voice pack.

[BestRadarDetectors]

Yes, It will take anywhere from 7 to 15 minutes depending on your Internet connection. During this time the system will work 100% as normal so you can drive and do your thing while the update in downloading and transferring in the background.

The current firmware update if you are using HiFi will also require a voice pack update. You will need to do that separately.

I've seen answers to these in the forum but cannot locate them.

How can you tell if you have the latest BT Module; and how do you get one if you don't?

The version of ALP Connect on my phone is 1.9
Is this the latest?
How is it upgraded?

Thanks
