ALP parking sensor and STIR Plus integration

Why chance KA by only running seg 5, I understand what you are saying but even having 2/5/8 on you are still going to have a super quite detector while covering your ass completely!! Me--I would never chance it!

1) Possible Cobra falses on band 2
2) Improve responsiveness by scanning only band 5

I agree #1 to an extent
Dissagree #2--You will not see any difference in scan speed with only 3 segs running that will affect a radar encounter. Its all good

Look at this video from OpenRoad over at RDF. Segmentation makes a difference.


RDR was on during the second run, but off during the first run. With RDR on, the signal needs to be found twice in order to trigger an alert; with RDR off, it'll alert if it just sees it once. So all of those alerts way back from the sign were caused by the Redline seeing the signal once, but it obviously never saw it again on the second time through. The signal comes and goes so quickly, it isn't there on the second sweep. So consider what would happen if it just doesn't see the signal at all because it's not sweeping 34.7 during the small amount of time that there's a distant 34.7 signal that's coming through. Most of the performance gain was probably due to RDR being switched off, but the segmentation helps too.

Why sweep unnecessary bands? You only need 34.7 in most parts of CA. Just don't forget to turn it on when leaving the state, or when driving up to Tahoe.

Thanks a lot for all of your recommendations guys! This really helps. I'll try out a couple of different configs and see which works best.

Right now, I just hope mounting the radar head behind the plastic bumper cover isn't going to affect my range or off axis coverage too much. I don't really have any where else to mount it to. Currently, it is 3M double sided taped on top of the bumper pointing behind the plastic bumper cover.

If sitting on top of the metal bumper, would you recommend sticking the head (Curved portion) further forward past the metal bumper or can it be slightly recessed back sitting on the metal bumper? Just want to make sure I maximize as much as possible. I'll try to get a picture tonight.

I stuck out the laser sensors as far out as I could, but it is still tucked slightly under the nose cone. Please provide any feedback of placement on the STI-R+ receiver or ALP sensors if there is something I can improve. Thx!

Best thing to do now is get hold of a member here on the site and see if they can test your setup with a real Lidar gun to see how good it is and do any adjusting from there!
