    I have been wondering this same thing! I have (ALP) BT hooked up with my Ipod touch and my touch hooked up BT to my car, but when getting an alert it still only comes thru my touch and not car speakers?? I have tried the diff settings on the ALP App and nothing?

    What needs to happen (based on alittle reading) is ALP needs to add a feature or option to select Hands-Free Profile. That way the apps audio is using HFP phone kernel settings which can then override any vehicle sound source selection just like Waze or an incoming phone call.

    Not Sure if this is possible but..

    Could could the ALP be used with OpenStreetMaps which contains free maps data and PSL of most roads (NavFree on the Iphone uses this Map database)

    When traveling at PSL the ALP would go into detection mode

    When traveling above it would switch back to defense

    If you get hit with lidar then it will defend until you get back to PSL or an automatic 9second max kill.

    Obviously the Iphone GPS would have control over this.


    Just a thought

    or Alternatively a set point mode, with for example (50kph 60kph 80kph 110kph) button available on the ALPconnect, so you can select PSL and it will do the same as above, just a little more manual. System default back to defense after 30mins to prevent driver forgetting. Make for life so much easier

    I like this idea and have wanted this for sometime but didn't know if there was a database available that had the PSLs. The only concern would be how accurate are the PSLs. Regardless nice real nice.

    I'd be thinking map data from Navteq or Sensis in Australia would be pretty accurate. They are usually pretty good about updates every 12 weeks or so too.

    Could alp just make the led solid on instead of blinking when in idle mode?

    Not sure if this is already an option, but a dedicated button to switch the unit to receive mode rather than kill power altogether to JTK.

    I love being able to do that on my 905's to JTK and still know how long I'm getting shot for since I don't have to power the whole unit down.

    They dont have a dedicated button per say, but all you have to do it press any button on control pad or tap screen on ALP app and it goes into rcvr mode and you can still see when you are being targeted by a flashing light on the control pad.

    Oh so you can do that by pressing a button on that control pad? It switches to receive mode? If so, that's perfect.

    It can be done with the app, but I honestly don't want yet another app to run on my phone and launch manually every time I get in the car. At this point I already have to launch Waze and Live and press the dark button on my 905 CPU and I don't want to add more to the routine. If I could just turn my car on and have everything work automatically without me having to manually do anything, that'd be ideal.

    In fact, I'm gonna see if I can get my dedicated YaV1 phone to run Waze in the foreground so I don't have to launch that anymore on my iPhone. Might be time to play with the iPhone's tethering options, come to think of it. (Sorry, don't wanna take the thread OT.)
