    Edit:
    Reading the setup page "bubble":
    "GPS receiver should be connected to the GPS socket of your ALP R/G plugin. if your Control Box is hardware revision 2 (marked as Hw 2.0) then the GPS antenna may be plugged directly into the G-socket of the Control box."

    So for non 2.0 folks like me, sounds like I need the R/G module also.
    No.. Only V2 CPU'S can connect directly to the GPS Antenna without the need for the RG Module.

    As my CPU is from 2014, I would need a GPS Antenna with an RG Module? One plugs in to the other and then in to the main CPU?

    If it does not say HW 2.0 on the bottom yes you would need an RG Module to add the GPS Antenna.

    Tom, The sticker on my ALP Control Unit box indicates: AL Priority - CONTROL UNIT Hw.2 and also YOP: 2014 - 12
    Therefore, I would only need to purchase the GPS Antenna from you, and have my installer connect it directly to the CONTROL UNIT, then I can modify my system's Control Box Setup Selections to include the GPS related items. Is this correct ?
