ALP False Laser Alerts

[theaudir8fan]

Hi Everyone,

I just had my ALP installed on tuesday and the system has been getting false alerts. I would be driving normally and out of no where it would receive a laser encounter and I'm positive that there weren't any actual threats. This happens multiple times over the course of a trip.
From my observations, the occurrences are random and there isn't a specific something that would set it off. So sometimes it happens when I'm driving, but it had also occurred within a shot time after starting my car and just sitting in a parking lot.
I also noticed that the period of time between the occurrences are completely random, sometimes it would throw the alert after a few minutes of being normal with blue flashing led, other times it would occur over and over with it giving the alert right after it sets back to defense(blue) mode from parking(green) mode after the last encounter.
I noticed that after the alert, the led sometimes cycles between flashing green and solid green, other times it will stay on solid green for a rather long time (past the 1 min reset mark) with a single flash every 15-30 second, is this normal or does this mean something specific?

This is a video i took yesterday when i was out driving

0:00 - 1:41 green led flashing and solid (between 5 - 20 seconds), from last encounter before i started recording the video
1:42 - 2:08 reset to defense mode (blue led)
2:09 - 2:13 false laser encounter
2:14 - 3:14 normal flashing green led
3:15 - 4:46 reset to defense mode (blue led)
4:47 - 4:50 false laser encounter
4:51 - 5:08 green led flash and on for around 3 second
5:08 - 5:46 normal flashing green led
5:47 - end Long solid green led with a single flash at 6:04 and 6:25

I'm really not sure why this is happening so please let me know if anyone can help or has any ideas.

Thanks

Hmm something strange.

Alerts are coming from the rear - not familiar with that specific alert tone (they are different for different guns), but it's not a Poliscan false alert, as I'm very used to the sound of the real thing

You can also try dumping your statistics file, and see what the gun (false or otherwise) was ;

Does your car have "Lane avoidance system" or perhaps a car behind you did.Some are "Laser" based systems (& some are K-band radar).After an alert(Rear-"Yellow" in your case) it is normal for Priority to take a 60sec. delay before returning to Defense Mode(Blue) condition.

X2, What vehicle do you have?

I see a green laser pointer being used? What is that?

A reflection of the green LED in the camera lens.

How many heads are you running? Any in the rear? Maybe try disconnecting one head at a time (telling the ALP to learn the head locations each time) to see if it's a particular head causing the issue.

Looks like a reflection from the blinking light. I believe he has Laser Avoidance systems in his vehicle and if so the installer should have informed him prior to taking him money and installing any Laser Defense. We will need the make, model and year to look into it for you but I would bet your vehicle has a front and rear laser system.

Looks like he is driving a Audi r8 or some Audi model.
