    Couple of questions for you ALP experts :)

    Was on BestRadarDetectors.net and looking at the other options the ALP offerers. (GPS, HIFI ect.)

    (I'm coming from LI, which i love the alert voice stating the gun being shot with, remote speaker to extra loud alerts, and the kill switch)
    ^^^ All which if i understand correctly, and please correct if wrong, do not come with the ALP? ALP is shipped with a remote control that is kinda hard in my option to grab while driving and slowing at the same time

    Is there a way to convert/add a flip kill switch like the LI?

    Bluetooth is the ONLY way to hear the alerts at the moment and that module is $100+ right?

    (sorry for so many question)

    thank you for your time!

    At this moment if you want Voice Alerts the only option is Bluetooth with ALP Connect, Otherwise you will only have different tone alerts through the speaker in the control module. I have always wondered why so many people care so much about Voice Alerts. Does it matter that much what you are hit with rather than just knowing you are protected and the system is responding? If you want to see what you were hit with you could always pull a statistics report and it will show you what you were tagged with when you get home.

    I also get asked about adding a kill switch several times a day and its not needed with the ALP because by default there are several automatic kill options... Laser Defense by default is set to 4 Seconds and will automatically kill after 4 seconds of defense, You can also press any button on the controller and also kill automatically. If you get the GPS and Radar Integration you can also have the ALP kill by GPS speed once you go below a set speed. If you want to add a kill switch just install a switch in between your +12V power wire.

    If you want to add Voice Alerts in the future there will be an upgrade available in the future that will add Voice Alerts and an Amplified Speaker without needing to use a smartphone.

    Please clarify for me. While I'm being hit by a laser gun and wanted to stop the jamming I can simply push the power button on the controller? Do I have to hold it down or is it instantaneous?

    Pressing either button during an alert instantly kills the jammer.

    well guess I'm out without voice alerts then lol i have android. i not super tech savy but was able to install my LI but will have to google on the kill switch as I'm in the dark on that 1, i just don't trust the time delayed incase TOO much time, 4 seconds doesn't sound like a lot but if they hit you close... it could be too much time..

    Installing a Kill Switch will be the easiest part of the install. Cut the +12Vt red power wire and in the middle somewhere and add any switch such as this one.

    Flick the switch and no power and unit goes off.

    I think hes more on about the package and price range as the Li comes with external speaker where is the ALp doesn't ..as for the voices every body is different but my apioning lidar is lidar I really don't care what I get shot with there are only 3 guns used in my area and I don't need a smart phone to tell me this

    as for the kill switch I would recommend adding in another to the main power source for that instant kill ..many times I have had an eye save or driving under the PSL but still needed to press the power button on the ALP for 2 seconds... most of the times I kill my jammers by touch and feel every car I have owned I have allways tried to keep the switches in the same location just a habit and your body automaticlay reacts ....where the ALp hand set is a pain in the ass I have muted or even changed settings on an alert
