    I guess I don't quite understand here. If your phone is mounted in the clip, why would there be a need to pick it up? In California, it is also a ticket if you are talking on your headset or texting while driving, but it allows for you to glance down if it is being used as a nav. Someone contested that in court and won. But back the original point, you would only need to tap the phone if an alert went off or if you want to turn off the system in the event of being pulled over.

    I guess it is a matter of taste , i prefer not using a phone to get notified of an alert , so i will wait for the HiFi.

    Seems California leos are much more tolerant toward cell phone.

    The leat chance i give cop to stop me , the better i feel

    In California, it's legal to use a cell phone while driving if you're using it to check a map.

    Is there somewhere that we can send letters to request the ability to run both the app and the key pad at the same time?

    IMO it really makes no sense that the key pad cant still be utilized while using the app. What happens if your phone dies or you forget it, the ALP wont work at all??

    Sorry for being annoying, but it makes no sense at all. I know of no other device that uses a wired key pad that when you use the app the key pad becomes inoperable.

    Sure it will plug in the control set. Why would you not have it in your car anyway? The network switch mentioned earlier is a simple fix.

    Maybe because I have been running it for so long with the app, I can't imagine why anyone who has the ALP would ever want to run it with out the bluetooth and the app. Why don't you just install the switch? Seems easy enough.

    CJR238 you need to get the switch to go back and forth. Tom sent me the switch and it is very handy to have. although honestly with my dedicated display i am more than happy with using BT only.
