    I currently use the radar integration, and plan to get the HiFi module when it comes out.

    Does the GPS antenna just measure speed, or can it eliminate radar falses by location like the Escort systems do?

    GPS is currently only used for the following:

    1. Laser Interference Defense mechanism will not be activated unless you are moving at the speed greater then what you define.
    2. Radar detection will not be activated unless you are moving at the speed greater then what you define
    3. Parking alerts will not be given if vehicle is driving at speed above what you define

    You can define different speeds for each of these processes when setting up your ALP on the ALP Setup site: http://www.alpupdate.com

    GPS Lockouts is a patented feature so we cant offer it at this time.

    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.

    Hmm it seems that we can't order the m-edition antenna only in Europe, we will have to purchase the entire STI-R along with it...
    Is AL thinking about a radar package with the m-edition antenna? if I need to buy the entire STI-R it's kinda useless to use just the antenna on my ALP.

    Beltronics sells all parts individually. Shops buy replacement parts all the time to replace bad components. Try try to find another dealer that will take the time to order you in the correct part.

    All dealers/shops here have to get it from "Target Automotive" as they are the official distributor...

    I saw a video on youtube of an Escort system that actually locked out a legit K band radar gun because of a door opener in the area. Seems like there might be other ways of implementing it though to avoid stepping on the patent (e.g. instead of locking out the ENTIRE BAND, only lock out a specific FREQUENCY within that band at that location, which would be better anyway because it wouldn't have given a false negative like the Escort system did).
