    I actually would like the rear sensors to be set to a higher sensitivity then the front
    It's not just license plates, it's any reflective surface. Unfortunately, the ALPs weren't really designed as very good parking sensors (they don't indicate a specific distance, only certain strength of returned/reflected signal). I've had the ALPs go off as parking sensors when nearly 10 feet away from chrome bumpers, and fail to activate 3 feet from other objects.

    What would be the chances of ALPconnect for win10 phones?

    I mean if you have a prerelease windows 10 installed on your windows phone it can load APK with a tool called APKtoWin10m.

    I would have been testing this out but I updated to the release version of win10 and they removed the project Astoria feature that can run a APK for legal reasons

    Exactly my experience as well!
    As long s they work like sensors in the event of a roadside demo for Leo, I won't complain.
    Screw this LOL stuff. If they don't find it humorous on their own, then let 'em take it seriously.

    This is normal because it has to transmit a pulse and see how quickly it can catch the pulse back. More reflective objects like chrome will reflect back quicker than lets say drywall in a garage.

    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.

    Doubtful, There is not enough demand to make the engineering expenses make sense at this point.

    If it really worked by round trip time to determine distance the same way LIDAR guns or laser rangefinders do, this wouldn't be an issue. The only reason chrome and other reflective surfaces are an issue are because it operates based on the strength of the returned pulse rather than its timing.

    Any chance AL could add the privacy/theft key activation into ALPconnect? Be a handy little feature.

    Can they probably but I can tell you any new request would probably take about a year.. We already have projects scheduled for almost the entire year already.

    Any secrets you can share? I'm really looking forward to the display. Can you give us a update on that?

    Nothing I can share at the moment.
