Requests for Future Improvements with the AL Priority

[radargeek]

Here's one I may have mentioned before but is more relevant now that the Net Radar is out.

I suggest adding the ability to use the HiFi control set and BT app simultaneously. With the current BT module it's one or the other--BT connects, HiFi doesn't work, BT disconnects, HiFi works. Alerts could be sent to both the app and the HiFi, and commands could be issued from either-- JTK or mute by hitting a button on the control set or tapping the icon on the app.

This way you can use the app for Net Radar lockouts and frequency display, while retaining the use of the loud HiFi speaker.

Depending on the design of the current BT module this should be doable with a firmware update, or at worst, an updated BT module.

This is not possible with current hardware. We have mentioned this several times.

This seems to be one of the most persistent requests. Perhaps a new BT module should eventually be considered since so many people are asking. It won't happen overnight, but certainly would be well received. Can't wait to see what else you guys have up your sleeves!

The hell with that, I have already bought all 3 versions of the BT module and I'm not buying a 4th as every previous one has been dumped/forgotten as new feature have come. This has to stop.

only buy what u need that suits ya needs

There have been 2 versions of the BT module. Not sure where you are coming up with 4 versions. One with a pass through for the controller and one without. Both still work and operate fully as they were advertised.

Has anyone requested a minor update to the phone software (I use iOS) that would enable better logging of activity?

Personally I would like to see time stamp of every user interaction. For example I'd like to see when I change profiles, when I get hit with speed (obviously) and a time stamp for when I kill the jammer with speed (similar to when you get hit).

Not critical but would be interesting to review after an encounter.

There have been 3. You are forgetting the 2.0 version that came out between the first one and the 3rd (current). See your posts #3 and #5 at the link below. In our conversation we are talking about the 2.0 module, which was before the latest one with the dual connectivity.

In any case, I'm right as the first one can't upgrade the ALP firmware via BT, v2.0 and 3 (current) can. Also, and I may be mistaken on that one, V1 and V2 are deprecated so they can only operate with older firmware installed on the ALP.

There are 2 BT Modules (V1 and V2) the HW 2.0 was a different Firmware loaded on the original BT Module's BT processor to try to add update firmware capability and add future capability to the original BT Modules but it was not successful because as new phones were introduced and existing phones had operating system updates we could not keep up with changes on new BT protocols that evolved because there was no way to update the BT chips in the original BT Module without removing the processor and putting them in a programmer, reprogram them and then re-install the processors. The original BT module still works 100% for ALL of its original advertised functions. The V2 Module (2nd BT Module w/Pass Through) is firmware updateable so we can now update the BT Processor via ALP Connect so we can now keep up with phone changes that effected new features such as the ability to update CPU Firmware, RG Modules, BT Module, Etc over BT.

I get that, but the bottom line here is that even though the HW 2.0 was just a firmware update to the V1 hardware, the end user couldn't do it, so I stand correct in the fact that I've now had to buy 3 modules, and I have no desire to have to buy a 4th if it means that older BT devices will not be able to access NEW upcoming features.
