    I have an Idea, I had an encounter with my ALP. Turned the system on and got the 2 different beeps letting me know that they where linked and ready to go. Well some where along the lines of my travel i noticed that they ( the ALP B/T and iphone) where no longer linked together, thus making my ALP'S In op..
    What would have been nice is if i had some kind of alert setting so if either or both systems where NO longer connected i would get a contant alert so i know that they have become disconnected from eachother..This way if your on a long trip and not paying constant attention to your C/M and something happens you will get a constant alert until you either manually shut it off or re connect the system..

    Did you close the APP? If the app stayed open it should have automatically reconnected if for some reason it lost connection. It does also give you a tone when disconnected and reconnected.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    iPhone Buetooth transceiver can get blocked from time to time, this is out of control of the apps. Solution is to disable/enable the Bluetooth in Settings or just turn the Phone Off and back On.

    When it does get blocked it will look like you are in a connection but no data goes in or out.

    Ok and if i did have some sort of (alarm) to say that you have been disconnected, then i would have known about my disconnect.. Most would think this would be a stupid thing, but if you where me yesterday and had gotten hit while this situation happened you would have not been a happy customer...
    I dont know if im the only one to have this happen to or just the only one to notice it... of course if it was to be incorporated into the App, an option to deactivate it would also be an option for those who may think its not needed. Just my thoughts

    I think what AL is saying is that most likely your Bluetooth transceiver in your iPhone crashed leaving the app still connected but no data was passing.

    When I get a committed date you know I will pass it along. Protection from new guns has taken over the priority of the HiFi development. Its been under development but when new threats come out, The new threats take the priority from development.
