The Bluetooth module went through a phase of not pairing with my smartphone, however has seem to have gone away and now connects each time I start my vehicle and have the app running on my device. I now have an even bigger issue. One of my rear heads doesn't fire. When I had initially installed, all heads were firing, as well as functioning in parking mode. I now test each head on my quad and one head on the rear will not respond to my hand being placed in front of it in parking mode. All other heads respond with a beeping tone from the parking sensor. I have also tested with an LI handheld lidar tester, firing directly on each head and have also tested with my Ultralyte. All heads fire, aside from one in the rear. What's even more odd is the only way that I can get the rear head to respond again is by swapping the extension cable cords from the rear left to right and vise versa while the CPU is powered on. As soon as I do this, all heads respond in parking mode, as well as fire when testing with lidar. When I turn my vehicle off and then back on, the opposite head fails to respond to parking mode/fire with lidar.
I'm wondering if my system is a lemon due to the initial BT module issue. It's odd in that I know a couple of people locally who have an ALP and have yet to duplicate the same issue.
BT module issue thread:

I am working with Alex at kmph and is great to deal with, but thought I'd post to see if anyone had ideas as to what may be going on. I should point out that I have also tried to reinstall firmware, settings and Cset multiple times and the issue persists. Tonight I also tried removing the BT module and plugging in the Cset module. Same thing happens. I then swap the extension cables and all heads fire/respond in parking mode again. As soon as I turn off my vehicle and then turn back on, the rear head immediately dies again until I swap the extension cables. I have look at the pins on the connector and all look in tact.
My ALP is wired to a dedicated accessory fuse and only turns on when my vehicle has been started and of course shuts down when the vehicle isn't running. It does not run until I actually start up my vehicle.
Could this be an extension cable issue, head issue, CPU issue or multiple? I do know that BMW electronics can be touchy as well, but don't see it impacting this issue specifically. I'm having a little bit of bad luck and hoping to resolve sooner than later!
