ALP errors, what's wrong with my device?

@lamster

1.Do you have Basic "Control Set" or HiFi version ?
2.Are you using Thumb Drive version USB 2.0(ONLY) & 8 or 16Gb

Using the control set, i wish i got the hifi
2.Are you using Thumb Drive version USB 2.0(ONLY) & 8 or 16Gb

I'm using "Kootion key USB 2.0 32gb"

BTW once i unplugged the driver side alp, alp starts up normally.

While I've really wanted to help you resolved your problems, I just can't work w/ you any longer. I've asked you a number of times specific questions, all I ever get from you are partial answers or complete avoidance to specific inquiry & you've worn out my limited patience. If you take some time to look/read the "Sticky Threads" in the AntiLaser Section on the "how to do's" of getting the system up & programmed correctly,it may help. I seem to remember that you cannot have "Profile" (which I see in your Stats listing) unless you have the HiFi option, last I remember this feature is not permitted w/ the Basic Control Set pad(& why I asked what you had)...I'll admit this may have been changed over time by AL & I just missed its add-on(to Basic Control Set) now.

It could be you have a duality of problems like bad Sensors + faulty f/w in either/both the Control Set & the Control Box. I do know that it was recommended by BRD/AL that users should not use 32Gb Thumb Drives. (I use SanDisk 'Cruzer' 8 or 16Gb USB 2.0 Flash Drives & have never had a problem). Perhaps just using the 1 good Sensor you're sure is good in the F1 slot while trying a different USB Drive of appropriate capacity & a fresh download from the ALupdate website might help.

I'm off the Forum for a while to TCB & wish you good luck w/ efforts to fix your install problems.

Thanks for your effort, i did answer all of your questions so i am not sure what you are referring to. I did not set up any profile, alp automatically have profile a,b,c. I followed all the steps from the sticky threat. Even after factory reset and reloading the config, again profile a,b,c appears.
I never heard that it is recommended to use a 8gb or 16gb usb drive, i figured it would not make any difference...
If i missed anything please let me know

may be have a clean start,back to basics with std controller, just use the two outer sensors f1/f2, do a factory reset, as on page 11 can be confusing a little, also a manual check on page 12 if need to,fw up grade for controller, and then cpu, ,then set up, all one at a time,
car outside display green, gps lock display yellow, above speed gps setting goes over to blue


@lampster
First, the alp stays in parking mode only until i walk past both sensors. I must walk past both sensors in order for it to go into defense mode(blue led).( should stay in parking mode)

Agree, something is seriously wrong if Sensors are failing like this, may be best to stop putting 12v power to the Priority until you completely check wiring and for bent pins in the connectors.

Unless you have some electrical/electronics experience in troubleshooting this problem, you need someone to help you that does have knowledge.- What State are you located ? <----You didn't answer this question, I only asked b/c if you were nearby me I was willing to meet w/ you to help troubleshoot your problem.

***Important - where was your car parked in your OP (#1 Post, above) ??? - Was it in the driveway next to that chain link fence I see in Post #7 ? <---- I expect a direct answer, eg: Yes it was .
Well the Sensors are mounted ok. - Did you change the Parking detector range to 3 & see if that stopped the constant Alert ?
Being parked next to that fence so close on one side could very well be your problem. The sensors could be getting reflections from the fence about 10-15ft away caused by IR beam divergence. The Priority is a very sensitive receiver circuit.

Move your car so there is nothing within 180 degrees of the Front/Sides of the car for 50ft+, & then turn on the AL-P & see what happens.

@lamster

1.Do you have Basic "Control Set" or HiFi version ? <---- Yet another ques. you did not answer !
2.Are you using Thumb Drive version USB 2.0(ONLY) & 8 or 16Gb

I never heard that it is recommended to use a 8gb or 16gb usb drive, i figured it would not make any difference... <---- it's been recommended numerous times in many Threads here ! here is just one of countless times: http://www.radarandlaserforum.com/sh...highlight=16gb see Post #2
If i missed anything please let me know

@lamster

Do you now get the point of why I accuse you of not answering questions ? - Yes, I can be a lil anal about things, but that's my nature & I'm not going to change for you or anyone else.

@RedRocket, sorry i did miss some of your questions and thank you for your help. I appreciate all your effort and support.
I live in buffalo NY and yes the drive way is next to a chain fence, shared drive way. For the control set, i answered in post #22, I'm using the basic control set and thats the firmware i downloaded.
-
I received a replacement head and plugged that head into the driver side and works perfectly. It seems like its a head error, most likely a pinched wire. The sensor head wire might have been pinched from the bumper.

I'll take a picture of my setup wiring tomorrow, and maybe i can get some input on my wiring?

Whaddya know, born n' raised there myself. Congrats on solving your problems !
I visit there once in a while & do have some requests from other members here on the Forum for Testing in the area (which I also do). If you're active here & participate maybe the locals might extend an invitation to an event...time will tell. There is nothing planned at the present time though,AFAIK.
