    HiFi installed

    I got the new HiFi modules install on both systems and I'm happy with the the build quality and the speaker volume.

    I had no issues installing the firmware files and voice packs I just let it do the updates while I was doing the detrim and rebuild.

    I made a video so you can hear the systems. Using a real lidar gun.

    I have the speaker for the front under the center console (female) and the rear is mounted on the top of the rear hatch trim directly in front of the back glass (male).

    However during the video the hatch was open so the speaker was aimed directly at the ground.



    I have pro mode enabled as well as the Detailed voice pack mode. However it appears like it's only giving me only "Simple" voice pack mode.

    Some notes after the first announcement and siren once you hear the buzzer noise that means your being targeted and when it goes back to the siren it's picking up scatter but only after the first alert

    Sounds just like mine did. I have mine in detailed and got the same sounds and voices. Not sure what the differences are between detailed and basic

    I'm installed as well. I love the sound quality but honestly I'm disappointed with the mute feature killing the alert. I would like to know what I'm hit with. Also don't like the pro mode feedback sound. I would rather hear the actual alert and just watch the led like it used to be. IMHO.

    I was under the impression it would tell me the exact gun with "Detailed" so I was expecting it to announce what Stalker I was using.

    I may try turning off mode and see if that changes things for the better.

    I thought Simple mode would just say something like "Camera" or "Error-sensitive LIDAR" or "Hand-held LIDAR". Haven't tested this yet though.

    Here is what the ALP HiFi Control Set sounds like both in Detailed mode:
    ALP-HiFi-Detailed.mp3

    and in Simple mode:
    ALP-HiFi-Simple.mp3

    I was running this in Pro Mode. The buzzing you hear after the gun name (or generic name, in case of Simple mode) indicates when you are being targeted. The LEDs, of course, only flash when you are being targeted, even during the "woop, woop, <gun name>" part of the announcement. If you're running Pro Mode, this definitely makes you remember that you didn't JTK. This is a sound we all should NEVER hear except during testing because it takes a good 3-4 seconds after the shooting starts before the buzzing starts!

    I never wanted to "hear" it in the first place. I wish ALP would go back to the pro mode the way it was. I hate the buzzing sound! sorry @BRD it sucks now! Primarily because when you are targeted I want to hear what the gun is no matter what I do on the system when it's in pro mode. The purpose of pro mode should be for those that know what they are doing. If the buzzer is s reminder you didn't JTK then you shouldn't be using pro mode. If I JTK, beep or give me some indicator that it has accomplished my requested task and then go right back to the alerts. The whole reason everyone wanted the hifi was to be able to HEAR the voice alerts. They already had a buzzer. Sorry IMHO.

    I know, I know you can't please everyone.... this is my last post on the topic as I've already beat this horse to death! Just can't use pro mode anymore.

    So what you're looking for is something like "woop, <presses button> JAMMING KILLED, woop, TruSpeed behind"? I think that would be a great improvement. They can leave the buzzer in IMO. Makes testing easier, and in any real world situation, you wouldn't hear it anyway.

    Basically yes but the buzzer is annoying imo. It was much better before as you could watch the led and still hear the alert. well at least on the BT module. The hifi is new. So basically you can tell if you are being targeted vs catching a stray reflection. Now you can't tell what the gun is because you will have JTK before it finished. I said I would stop complaining so this is it.

    I think that's the point. Kind of like the fire alarms in office buildings that make you really not want to stay around. The buzzer makes you want to JTK, and that's a good thing. But I do agree that there should be some sort of audible tone that indicates a kill, followed by announcement of the gun you were hit by. Of course, if they had the AL Display, none of this would matter, because the gun name would show up there regardless of whether you heard it or not (unless you're blind and can't use the AL Display). But then again, if you're blind, you shouldn't be driving in the first place.
