    No, you never mentioned that in the original post:

    1. Bug fixes.
    2. Several LIDARs support improved.
    3. Added support for Net-Radar detector.
    4. Added support for the latest ALPConnect app.
    I did find it mentioned in the email I got from AL:
    Control Box firmware
    5.2.5/6.8


    1. Added support for Net-Radar detector.
    2. Added support for ALP Radar/GPS Plugin 3.
    3. Added support for the latest Android ALPConnect app.
    4. A new self-test function added, checking if the system is properly configured.
    5. Support improved for several LIDARs.
    6. Bug-fixes (Laser, Radar, PDC, etc.)

    SPECIAL NOTICE: A "CRC Checksum Failed" warning may occur after performing the initial firmware upgrade.
    I also got this email from them today:
    IMPORTANT NOTICE for ALPCONNECT APPLE DEVICE USERS:

    If you are running your ALP system over ALPConnect installed on an Apple device (iPhone, iPod, iPad...) and if you run a radar antenna in your ALP system, you are advised not to upgrade to the newer ALP Control Box firmware before an upgrade for ALPConnect for Apple is released. If your ALP system is upgraded to the latest Control Box firmware version 5.2.5. your ALPConnect app on your iDevice will loose GPS and Radar functions.
    Is that an issue only if you do an OTA update and don't have a new config.alp handy?
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!
