    There is something almost as good (perhaps better) for those of us who carry smartphones (isn't that pretty much everyone nowadays?): http://store.sony.com/32gb-microvaul...s-Flash-Memory

    It's a USB stick that lets you transfer files to/from your phone (via micro USB) and to/from a computer (via USB 2.0). You could put the parking configuration file on the USB stick, ready to go in case you get pulled over. Then, put the jamming config files on your smartphone. Once the cop leaves, put the USB stick in your smartphone and put the appropriate setup.alp file on it, then reprogram your ALP. This has the advantage that if the car gets searched, the jamming firmware isn't even on the USB stick, it's hidden in an obscure directory on your smartphone. You could even lock the smartphone so no one else can see what's on there.

    Not sure if it works on iOS. It looks like Android, for once, has a slight advantage here. So iOS users get the ALP Connect module, Android users get the ability to reprogram the ALP using a smartphone.

    The other cool think you could obviously do is update the ALP if a new firmware comes out, even when you're on a long road trip without a laptop
