ALP Connect - Android Versions

[BestRadarDetectors]

Can someone please tell me what switch you use to switch between the BT and keypad?

I appreciate the info. I will probably have to wait until I get to Cali to order it. Dont think it will make it before I have to leave. I have noticed some BT connectivity issues with my Iphone 6 plus IOS 8.1.2 and ALPConnect. It will randomly cycle the system into parking mode only. I have to select city/hwy to get it back into defense mode.

You are not alone... Its an iPhone 6 issue with IOS 8.x issue. AntiLaser has tried everything but its an issue with ISO and LE (Low Energy) BT devices.

I am going to try updating my NEXUS 7 and mount it above my stereo. I just need a newer version of jellybean or whatever its called so I can use the ALPConnect on that. Any suggestions on an Apple product that wont be affected by the IOS 8 issue? Might try an Ipod or Apple Mini if those are safe. Need some money first. lol

Any iPhone that is not an iPhone 6, You are better off if you want a dedicated display using a cheaper older Android Phone. There are many that would work that would be under $100.

I think Google usually offers updates for their devices, but just in case they don't for your version, look it up on xda-dev. Read how to install a recovery like twrp, then flash the latest stable version of slimrom (can be found on slimroms.net).

Are you good with Android? Problem I am having is BT 4.0 LE, I have tried many external BLE 4.0 Dongles and Android just does not have drivers for them and its a waiting game trying to get Google to add support for 4.0 USB BT Adapters.

Sorry, I am not familiar with using Bluetooth dongles on Android. Do you mind me asking what device the dongle is for?

I installed the latest version of CyanogenMod and will test it out and see how it goes. I wanted to use Escort Live on the android also but I have the iPhone version of EL so that wont work. Not sure why Escort had to make two versions of the cable since their Max2 works with IOS and Android. If ALP BT can be used with both then Escort should take note. Not really happy with the development of EL or Escort support for that matter, but I digress.
