Ideas for my ALP stuck in parking mode...

[AirMoore]

I thought that was odd too... as I don't remember anything besides stalker/poliscan being set for options.

As you can see in the first screenshot from my computer (top 2 lines):


The firmware is updated to 5.1.4 (my understanding is this is the newest)
And it is the "North American" database for region




I have completely reset the unit, updated it the latest and greatest firmware, uninstalled the old app, and reinstalled the newest app.

Really weird stuff going on with this unit.

Guess I'll try the old unplugging one head at a time and seeing if it fixes anything.

Do I need to force it to memorize the heads and reload the settings file every time? Or can I just unplug one at a time, have it yell at me, and then it should work anyways?



EDIT: Thank you both again.

Ok, I will try doing this when I get time, however, I do have to ask:

Can I just unplug say "Port 1" and leave "Port 2" in... let it yell at me that there isn't a sensor in 1, and run the unit with "Port 2" only?

Or do I have to take out head two, reset the unit the memorize a head in only port 1, reinstall the settings, then reboot and repeat for the second head?


PS: This is WAY UP on my wishlist for what we will see with the ALP in the feature...

Have it not only run self-diagnostics, but actually report back what they are... (e.g. - "Warning sensor check failed - port 2"). It would make life so much easier, and also a diagnostic on the radar antenna too (if that is possible) as my Sti-R+ went bad... a "service required" for the radar antenna would have been nice there.

Speaking of which... I wouldn't be surprised if it is a cable somewhere after having to check the wires countless times due to my Sti-R+ failing, I bet a sensor cable got chaffed in the process of running wires countless times. The issues only started happening after I kept having Sti-R+ issues IIRC, that would make perfect sense.

You might get a sensor error but that wont matter.. Set your LID settings to Unlimited when doing the test so that it will switch almost immediately into defense as soon as you correct the issue. If you do not have unlimited it will only go back into defense mode 60 seconds after the correction.

Sounds good, I'll upload new settings (unlimited jamming)... and unplug one head at a time and run each to report back what I find.

(Edit: I won't skip the first warm-up, I forgot that is when it runs the checks I needed)

Thanks again. I really think I'm going to end up narrowing it down to a cable; I must have gone through my wiring close to 5 times trying to troubleshoot the radar antenna issues, which (likely not coincidentally) is when all this started.
