Alp ???

[Davek]

Yes I'm newb but I have been reading and reading for a couple of days. I get most of it but have a few general questions about the interface. I'm curious about how well it works with the iphone and just using that instead of a speaker. And can you change the alarms so they don't scare the crap out of you? The one in Radar Roy's vid was horribly loud. I have a passport max2 and quite nice how subtle the alarm is. Also, I'd assume I need the bluetooth module for a phone? How do you test the unit once it's setup? Again, I see Roy has some sort of tester that comes with his units but not sure what's valid here. Along with that, where should I buy it??

This was me yesterday morning I cannot get anymore tickets and I just bought a 3.7 second car

Thanks for any help!!

Hello--- Not a good site to see. The ALP system integrated with the Iphone works flawlessly, all you need is the BT module that hooks up to the ALP CPU.
There are only 2 voice packs that come with the ALP and its either a Man or women and they are not that intrusive, there are sound clips around you can listen too. The best way to get tested is to have someone with a real Lidar gun to test your setup and there are plenty of individuals on this board that will help you out with that.
You can buy the ALP right here from BRD- bestradardetector.net Or just PM Tom (BRD) he will hook you up with all you need. You will need at least 2 heads front and rear for protection, what car will this be going on?

I just peed a little looking at this picture.

You've come to the right place; I've found this forum very helpful. Welcome!

And as you found out, any radar detector is pretty much useless against Laser attacks, you are correct in coming here and grabbing an ALP system, its the best by FAR in the Lidar war!! Put a picture up front and rear of your car and we will let you know the best place to install your ALP's too

Ok here's a front and rear view. I don't want to be a cheap ass (I am) but do you think I can get away with one rear detector?? Rear placement seems a bit harder but just above license plate on that lip is what I was thinking.

[Holla]

No, you NEED 2 on the rear as well to be fully protected, they have tested just one head on the rear and its just not safe or a good idea! Put the 2 rear ones under that lip farthest out you can get on each side of your license plate. I would think 2 front sensors in red location and you should be good to go. Im sure others will chime in as well later tonight!

[Davek]

Ok cool!! Thanks Holla!! I really appreciate it !!

No problem, just after you get it installed make sure you test it to make dang sure you are covered. If you PM BRD on here he will also give you placement ideas as well, plus get you set up with the ALP's

A lot of people will say have to have two on back but I have one and I'm find with it!
Radar Roy says it covers a good 18-19 inches to left of sensor and 18-19 inches to right of it which in my mind is most of back of my car.
I just came back from driving on 81N from PA to New York & I was hit in back and I got plenty of notice & time to slow down. Is two better I would say yes but one is FINE too!

Another exc. location is in the upper grill & bottom Horiz. slot...right below the chrome strip. Your Front LP (License Plate) is #1 Primary target & secondary targets are either HL.
