    syrinx, You should have purchased two of the "AL Priority Sensor Extension Cables" @ $29.95 USD each. Then you would have been able to connect the two rear ALP sensors to one ALP CPU, to which the two front ALP sensors are connected.

    Thank you for helping. Maybe Tom will have an opinion.

    Honestly I am still confused what you are doing and why you have 2 CPU'S with only 4 sensors.

    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.

    I believe he may have at some point incorrectly put one of the Rear RJ plugs into the F2 port(by mistake) & did a "Memorize" option & now the CPU Control Box thinks it has gone bad b/c there's no Sensor connected.

    As he stated previously, he has 2 independent b/c the cables from the Rear were not long enough to reach the Front Control Box. Why he didn't just relocate the Front Control Box to somewhere in the middle of the cabin (under the Driver seat) so that Front & Rear sensors cables could both reach it isn't something that was considered, I guess.


    Attention: @syrinx -
    Would you be willing to start over again from the beginning by putting the Rear ALP system back to its original wiring connections from when your Errors were first starting.
    1. Also, I would ask you to put "labels" (for R1,R2) marking EACH side of cable, put labels on each RJ "plug" connection at the Control Box.
    2. Put labels(R1,R2) on each side of round "twist" connectors.
    3. Put label on each Control Box port (R1,R2) to prevent using F1,F2,F3 by mistake.

    I personally think he needs to connect one CPU with 2 front sensors, 2 rear sensors. Run a factory reset and start all over with troubleshooting.

    With my hand, I see that one sensor doesn't work as parking sensor.

    With the laser tester, I've hidden one by one the sensor with à piece of paper.

    With the laser tester, I've hidden one by one the sensor with à piece of paper.- Paper does not completely block Infrared photons, some can still pass through & some will scatter for the other sensor to receive & will cause alert. The AL-P sensors are very,very sensitive to receive a small amount of IR signal from the Tester.
    1. Did you label the cables like I asked you to do ?
    Just as you posted before when you started this Thread, what were the results you got when you looked at the ALP report like in your Post #1 ?

    Instructions are already here on the Forum if you would look for them !

    Here is the location for them:

    Factory Default Reset:

    Choose this Thread... "Sticky" Thread: "First Steps Required After Installing Your AL Priority System"

    See Post #1- Find Step #4
    I will try again because I did already this factory reset and I didn't see any improvement: same errors message with F2 which wasn't never used.

    I don't understand your idea, I don't want cables between front and rear of the cars. I can hear the front, I can hear the back, I don't have cables in view, it's what I want.
