    Question ALP Question please

    Hi Guys,

    A question please,

    Is it possible to unplug a usb from a live alp and instantly ( or nearly ) turn it back in to a parking system only with No Jamming?

    Cheers.

    You dont need a USB inserted to run it unless you installed a security key. Many people keep 2 USB Drives in their cars with different color USB Sticks with different settings. It only takes 1-2 seconds to load up a new settings file so yes you could switch back and forth relatively easy.

    Cheers BRD,

    I see what you mean but what I am looking for is when the usb is removed the alp is instantly ( more or less ) turned in to a pure ( and thus legal ) parking system, ie no usb, no jamming so problems with the cops, the situation would be " Alarm goes off, I unplug the usb and hey presto, its a parking system, Instantly by just pulling and disposing of the usb " thus mr police man is none the wiser..

    see what I mean?

    There are tons of features and options to customize the ALP almost anyway you want. Also realize that if used properly you will not really inform the officer that you are jamming them. By default the ALP will only defend for 4 seconds and then give them a reading. This is selectable from 3-9 seconds. Lets say you keep the default at 4 seconds and you are hit and immediately slow you can hit any button on the controller to instantly kill the ALP so that they will get a reading sooner and you will be less obvious. Once killed the ALP will go into parking mode for the next 60 seconds automatically before going back into defense mode. If for some reason you get pulled over you can keep a parking USB Drive in your glove box along with your insurance papers so you can switch the system into parking only at that time and not be obvious and suspicious.

    X2... There are plenty of features available to use before I would use a security key. There is no way to reverse this and if you do not backup your key and loose it you will render your system useless.

    Cheers Guys,

    I am aware of the shut off when hit as I have had jammers for years, But if the police spot the head units and then switch the system on and it jams I am in trouble,
    HOWEVER if they fire up the system Without the usb inserted and its Just a parking sensor I am fine, ie attached and presumably with this setting and no usb its just a parking system?

    great forum btw and very helpful, thanks!!
