    GPS Speed threshold not working

    Since updating firmware etc it seems that the Led no longer changes colour when travelling under my stated speed.
    I've set LID and Radar to not defend under 40km/h and previously this was acknowledged with the LED changing to a yellowish colour.
    I have set up the system correctly so I believe but LED doesn't change and therefore assume would still be in defence mode
    Am I alone with this?
    I've rest to default and reprogrammed several times but no difference
    Thanks

    You need to reload a new configuration file.

    Before looking at an Escort Radar Detector you should really check out Uniden Detectors.. Uniden R1 & R3 are the best performing radar detectors for the money.

    Last update wiped out Radar & GPS settings because those settings have been redone to prepare for changes coming soon. Check to make sure you are putting the new file on the USB drive and that the file name is correct and that you are transferring the new downloaded file to the drive and not an old file that was on your computer previously.

    To clarify, you need to generate a NEW config.alp on the setup website and download it. Re-using an old one won't work with the new firmware.

    If you want to keep the same settings, you can upload your old file to the website, then save and download a new one. Then copy to your USB drive, making sure it's named config.alp.

    Thanks for everyone's feedback
    Have moved my GPS antenna to a higher more visible position
    Am thinking as yet to test drive that GPS was not getting signal and therefore not applying the speed setting. Does this seem plausible?
    Will confirm tomorrow when I go to work
    One other unusual thing is I get warning radar antenna disconnected but I go driving and get radar alerts

    Windows has the annoying habit of hiding certain file extensions by default. If you go to Windows Explorer (or My Computer), select Organize, Folder And Search Options, go to the View tab, and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" you'll see the .alp again.

    (Note that this is in Windows 7, it may be a bit different in 10).
