    The ALP is going to get a display eventually. Is that going to show exactly what's shown on the phone's display when using ALP connect?

    Display is far out in the future and is not even under development. Its sounds though based on what you are wanting you would want the full Sti-R Plus. The ALP is the best laser defense system and AL is not a radar detector company. We offer several modules to give customers options but we cant please everyone.

    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.

    Hey BRD, This might sound like a stupid question, But do you know if we will be able to run the HiFI and the B/T Module at the same time? I know it sounds like over kill but you cant have to much.

    No, HiFi runs through the control module. You cant run Bluetooth & Control Module at the same time.

    Can the Hi-Fi and BT Connect work together? My phone is not all that loud especially when the stereo is on or kids are making a ruckus in the back. I'd like to use the Hi-Fi to "pump up the volume" that my phone can't do natively.

    Doh! Thanks. Too bad. Feels like a cpu design issue that all add-on devices have to plug into the same port and can't work together.

    HiFi module is an extension of the Control Module, Radar & GPS have their own ports, Display Module will have its own port. There are only so many ports you can have on a unit before its too large.

    LI for example has 5 Ports (4 Sensors + 1 Serial) - ALP has 10 ports (Remote LED, 5 Sensors, 1 Control Module, 1 Display Module, 1 Add On Module & 1 USB Port) - There is a lot already packed into that unit.

    Easy workaround: get a LOUD Bluetooth speaker, and connect your phone to the speaker.

    There's still all of that real estate on the top and bottom of the unit that can be used for more ports

    All it needs is 2 control ports, so you can plug in any 2 of: control set, HiFi module, Bluetooth module. Or offer an external "hub" that turns the one control port into multiple. Or have a pass-through port on the bluetooth module. Probably the most important is to be able to run the BT module alongside one of the others, so you have a backup in case the phone app crashes, BT connection drops, phone battery dies or you're on the phone when you're shot and need to JTK somehow. An external switcher works but it's a bit kludgy.
    If I passed you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!
