Has anyone here turned on the Privacy Mode where you have to have the USB key inserted at all times if you want defense mode? Toying with doing this in the event I ever get inspected, I can pull the usb fob and it will only be a parking sensor. I know this is permanent when setup, so want to be a little cautious with doing this.
We don't recommend doing this unless it is critically important because it is permanent. A better solution would be to install the RG module with GPS and set the LID to be greater than a certain speed. That way if you're stopped it will be a parking sensor only.

Isn't there some button combination that wipes the firmware and reverts the unit to parking-only mode? That would probably be better to use when pulled over instead of privacy mode.
If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

You guys worry too much. Put the USB Extension Cord in the glove box and keep a Parking only USB Card in the glove box with it. When you get your license and registration pop the card in.Originally Posted by radargeek

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.

That is what i did , dont even need to re-start the system .
The Mirage solution is more practical but more expensive.
Those tiny key work very well for me :

The only thing with my suggestion is you have to make sure you pull over where there is a GPS signal. The ALP defaults back to defense mode when it can't get a solid GPS signal. So small caveat.

I run mine in privacy mode. I've made multiple copies of the .key file and have loaded it on other USB sticks and tested it out, it works fine. I do this because in Ontario LEO's have the right to search a vehicle without a warrant. I can hide the USB key in my pocket (or down my shorts) if I have to, and they can't search me without a warrant. I know this overkill, but, I don't want to get the system yanked out of my car. Your choice.

Extreme regulation dictates extreme caution.
Wolf , would you go up to k brake ?
To use the gps speed setting like V1 savvy, is anything else needed other than the gps module?

Yes, Its actually part of the radar integration and the GPS connects to the RG Module.
