ALP BT Module Bug

[kimberdan]

Dukes, I don't know as much as most of these guys do, But I will try to see if we can get you a solution to this, If you are in the car with power running to the ALP CPU with the B/T connected what does it do? nothing?
I just want to be clear with the issue you are having, What does it do when you run power to ALP CPU with the B/T Mod installed and the App running on the phone?.
Try this, turn the ALP on and wait for the LED to finish blinking, when it does turn the app on, on your phone and listen for a bleep, does it make this sound?

He's on a switched Ignition on power source. The issue is when it starts up it will not connect to his phone via the BT Module unless he unplugs his BT Module and then plugs in his control module and then re-plugs his BT Module. Its like the BT module is unresponsive till that point. He has tried the power button in the app. Once he does connect after doing all of that, the system functions perfectly.

Try switching the cable. It's a standard ethernet cable and it might have a communication issue with one of the pins. When you are switching back and forth it might be leaving the CPU in a mode that it doesn't require the problem pin. If that still doesn't work you are probably going to have to contact your AL distributor for a replacement. When I purchased my BT module, it was defective causing random disconnects. After Tom replaced mine everything has been solid.

Alright thanks! I'll get him to try that.
