AL Priority HiFi Module

As per Mirage's recommendation, I use the Jabra Freeway Bluetooth speaker with ALP Connect. Works very well and loud.

Yea but i wouldnt care if it said

As far as using the Jabra B/T speaker, I got one adn tried it, This is an awesome set up, but with the way i have my car set up i can not use it, I run my I phone plugged into the radio and when i do that everything from my phone is directed back into the radio speakers, so it served me no purpose...
I cant wait till the HiFi is released.... I rather have each system running on its own, If i have a failure then its 1 failure and not a total..

Just a bump, Wondering if where getting any closer?

Will the standard control still alert with the usual sounds in addition to the Hi Fi Control Set? Or does the Hi Fi Control Set replace the standard control completely?

The HI-FI setup will sound exactly like the BT APP now, so you will not hear a peep out of the controller once speaker is hooked up

That's unfortunate, if true. Right now, the standard controller tells you that you've properly JTKed by ceasing to produce sound after you hit a button. If the Hi Fi Control Set does exactly the same thing as the BT app (ceases producing sound as soon as you JTK), then that kind of negates the point of having it (ability to tell what you were hit with). With the BT app, you can always see that information on your phone's display, but right now, the ALP has no display module option. And the BT app takes way too long to announce the gun, over 3 seconds.

I hope that instead, there's some option to do something like:
- First button press: JTK, standard control set beeps OR Hi Fi control set gives off a very clear audible signal that denotes JTK, then Hi Fi control set continues announcing the gun
- Second button press: Silence Hi Fi control set
at least until the Display becomes available.

I could be wrong--BRD may jump in and explain....

You are not wrong... The HiFi is a replacement controller with an external speaker. It will behave just like the Controller only difference is when alerting it will have Voice Alerts instead of the tone alerts. If you mute the unit it will mute just like muting the Control Module.

BRD, I hope the sound of that drum and siren can be reduced to something like 1 second. Otherwise, I would fear that people won't JTK quickly enough if they're trying to hear what they've been hit with. This is especially important with some of the newer guns that can lock onto a target so quickly that anything > 2 seconds starts to look suspicious.
