After a recent re-configuration I lost the GPS symbol on the app, and it no longer shows my speed. App and hardware were, and still are the latest configuration. It disappeared immediately upon boot up of the new configuration. I checked the GPS itself, and it is still sitting where it was when it was working properly. Net Radar is working properly too. I did a second re-configuration to make sure I hadn't accidentally used an old one, and still no joy. Anyone got any ideas?
It means your configuration file does not have the GPS activated. Please check your config file because you probably made an error.Originally Posted by wailer

OK, I went back and very carefully made sure GPS was activated. Three times, reverting back to the defaults before reading the new config file (config.alp was the only file on the reformatted thumb drive each time). No luck. I have a red blinking light on the GPS unit under the hood (normal?).
After my third try, ALP Connect cannot find the bluetooth connection to my phone! The bluetooth module has a green flashing light (I assume this is normal).
I'm not sure what's going on. Each time I plugged in the USB stick, the unit recognized it and responded with the "Data Stored" response, which I confirmed with as many settings as I could on the HiFi module before I tried using ALP Connect. Not sure why ALP Connect has now lost the bluetooth connection. Any thoughts? Sorry to be a pain.
Everything was working fine when I first set it up. I just went in to change some settings and lost GPS, and now Bluetooth!

Blinking green means you are not connected to BT. Go back to the main screen and reconnect to the ALP.
You did not specify if you are using Apple or Android. If using Apple and you updated the firmware to the current version the IOS app will not work with Radar & GPS because of new changes made and the IOS app for the current firmware has not been released yet.

I'm on Android. Everytime I try to reconnect, ALP Connect keeps retrying to connect unsuccessfully. That's weird since I had no problems the last few days. EVERYTHING was working before, even GPS. I changed nothing with the hardware, though I did check the hardware connections.
I did a Force Stop on the ALP Connect app on the phone, re-paired the phone with the ALP Bluetooth, and got the bluetooth connection back. Still no GPS however. I am SURE I configured it correctly and it was the only config.alp file (the only file actually) on the reformatted thumb drive. I plugged it it, and turned on the ALP, and got the confirmation "Data Stored." Still no joy on GPS. Did this whole process three times. Is the GPS supposed to have a flashing red light on it?

Are you using the attached GPS or your Phones GPS? Is the setting correct in your ALP Connect settings?

ALP GPS. I've reconfirmed the ALP Connect settings three times. Each time I take the new verified config.alp file and place it on the reformatted thumb drive and plug it into the ALP USB port. I then turn on the ALP, and get the "Data Stored" confirmation. I then remove the USB, and connect to the phone using ALP Connect. No GPS symbol is present, nor speed. I cannot lockout anything. ALP Connect is not recognizing the ALP GPS. The ALP GPS is blinking red. Should I disconnect and reconnect it?

My ALP GPS is connected into the RG Plugin 3 box, NOT the main controller. Is that correct?
Email me the config.alp file. I will PM you my email address.
