    OK so its my turn LoL, Did what i was suppose to down loaded the new files and went out and got the first start up beeps and then the 1 led started flashing blue green adn the one on the C/S was flashing blue yellow? So i un hooked it and plugged the B/T Module back in and fired it up and it worked so then i went back to the HiFI and now all it does if flash the colors as i listed above.

    One question for you Tom ,

    for curiosity sake , can we revert to the ''old'' control module once the new firmware ''HIFi'' has been installed ?

    My guess is no .

    I guess we can revert to the old control module if we re-install the old firmware ...right ?

    Could be a good B plan to diagnose a problematic install.

    Firmware is installed in the control module. At any time if you want to go back to the other control module just switch them. No firmware needs to be changed.

    I keep telling everyone that it takes over 5 minutes. Video is posted in the first thread. Glad you waited it out and let it install properly.

    Yeah, 5 minutes feel like an eternity when waiting. I can't tell you how many times in my line of work I've had someone complain that something takes "10 seconds" when it actually took 3 seconds.


    Installed mine as well. The update procedure was lengthy but worked out great. I love having the voice, and the speaker is so loud that even burying it in an under seat compartment is still plenty loud at volume 1 or 2.

    My only wish/suggestion is that it should still say the gun name after a fast JTK. It seems like if I JTK before the gun announcement happens, it won't happen and will just say "Detection Only"

    Yes Tom i watched the video, What threw me was that the LED was flashing different colors then when in your video.... Maybe i missed it in the thread about the colors changing... But i tested it out and everything works, Now i just have to learn the menu for the Key pad since, day one i have had the B/T Mod hooked up..
    But i did get a chance to play around with it and raise.. or should i say lower the volume, I was not expecting it to be that loud LoL
    Again TOM Thank you for all you do for this community

    Just hooked mine up, took maybe 20 minutes, 15 of those were figuring out where to put the speaker though haha. Ended up using zip ties and mounting it to the bottom of the driver seat. Very clear sound and small package so you can mount it pretty much anywhere. I put all the files on at once and it failed to update the control set, had to remove the firmware file and do it again but that worked. Very pleased with it! Thanks again for the awesome deal BRD

    It's amazing what he does for this community. He stepped up to the plate along with AntiLaser and gave us something that will work and keep us protected for the future.

    This is the most amazing product. My main complaint was always not having the voice like on LI. Now with this Hifi module I am super excited and pumped to have this great system. The voices are amazingly clear and it's just great.

    Tom you are to be commended on a job well done and for delivering this when our community needed it most.
