    ALP Connect suggestion

    Im still of the opinion, that there needs to be a stealth setting or similar on the app.
    By this I mean, if I get pulled up by the cops and they ask me what the sensors are for and also ask me to demonstrate, I can easily show them. It's a bit hard to explain the screen which says detect mode and a highway button option, and if I'm correct, if they aim the lidar at the car it will start alerting.
    So some type of overriding function with a separate display that can be easily accessed by you and not the cops if they probe your phone.
    I hope this makes sense.
    Am I right in my thinking or do I see it wrong?

    Everyone is free to voice their own opinions and we consider all of the suggestions made. There is another small update to ALP Connect coming in the next week or so but we will discuss some stealth options in the future.

    For now just keep a parking only USB stick handy and if pulled over pop the parking only USB in and in parking mode it will not alert to laser at all.

    I imagine that eventually, there will be different profiles available to be selected via the app. The option to have it default to a parking only profile on startup would be a trivial matter.

    It would be nice to see everything except the car disappear, with no AL serial number and no AL logo and No Radar symbol.
    An advanced privacy parking mode, cause every cop has a phone with Google on it and they are 1 step away from working out what it is.

    Nah no need. IPhone 6 is coming.
    Everyone is going to jump ship again after watching keynote.
    Actually, can we have an apple watch app to integrate into alp?
    Using haptic to let us know when we have alerts and to tap to jtk
    Defence: ALP x 3 Front / 2 x Angled Rears | Stinger VIP Radar x 2 Patch Panels / Stinger VIP LIDAR (testing)| Escort Redline 2013 int | Escort Redline MRCT 2015 int | STI-R+ | V1 (testing) | Veil
    CM Testing: Spectre RDD Mrk IV | UltraLyte LR UX 125pps | UltraLyte LRB 125pps | Stalker LZ1 | ProLaser 2 (The Hole Finder) | Kustom Talon 2 KA | Bushnell Velocity K Band

    It'll be a cold day in hell before I buy an apple device.

    It would be cool once the apple watch comes out, for it to be an extension of the ALP Connect app:
    * Maybe your speed could be displayed on the face.
    * Perhaps it could vibrate and flash when being targeted.
    * A tap to the face would kill the jammers. This would be nice when running the ALP app in the background on your phone.

    Wishful thinking for now, but would be cool to at least think about.

    why dont ALP just do a dedicated display of there own to do all that they want with, instead of apps and apple and googles phones, and plug it in via the led socket
