    The ALP was built on a modular platform so that users can expand and add the options and features that they want. There are no plans for a new version and we expect the ALP to remain active for a long time. We are still working on many industry firsts like the LCC adapter to finally keep all the Laser Guidance features working in the new cars and use a Laser Jammer at the same time.

    It's all relevant to how deep your pockets can go. Over the last couple years I switched from ZR3's to ZR4's to LI, now to ALP. In the past, $200 or $300 per car was okay but not $1000+. I only have one car protected now & I will leave the others w/o this time.

    Prices really have not changed in the last 6+ years on this stuff. LI's even in 2008 were $700 for a dual system and today 6 years later the website price is $699.95. ZR3's and ZR4's are not even in the same ballpark as far as performance and were based on old LED equipment and they could never be updated. LSP's and Blinders are the cheapest at $599.95 for a Dual and you really get what you pay for.

    Speeding is optional, avoiding police detection is optional. This is akin to me bitching about Ferrari's pricing on the 458 Italia that I desperately want but can't afford...first world problems man!

    I don't think an LCC adapter is a viable solution to the problem. AL must make its jammers immune to interference from LCC. Otherwise, what happens to me when I'm near a car with that feature? Sure the LCC adapter helps him, but I'm screwed.

    Problem is its not a false alert. A false alert to me is a false from the sun, etc. and the ALP does an awesome job at eliminating those. The LCC adapter is designed to allow people with vehicles to run Laser Defense. Other systems might seem to be working in these vehicles but as the Vehicle is sending its signals the Jammers are not defending. This will be the first of its kind so the ALP knows when the vehicle is sending out interference and also it will keep monitoring anything new incoming at the same time. The ALP has the least false alerts of any system and they are working on ignoring the rest. If you are not in an area that uses Poliscan turning it off will basically eliminate any false alerts. I keep it on any see a false at most 1-2 times a month.

    So what happens if I'm following near a vehicle using LCC and I get hit with LIDAR at the same time? Will my ALP alert to the LIDAR and defend against it?

    If the vehicles LCC was interfering it would let you know.

    At least that's better than no alert, but it still doesn't solve the problem that the guy with LCC on his/her car can use his/her ALP so long as he or she has the LCC module, but mine is rendered inoperable. LIDAR guns obviously aren't the only source of 904nm radiation, and jammers need to be aware of this (and need to be designed to tolerate such interference while still being able to jam guns). Jammers should be able to differentiate between LCC and LIDAR and jam LIDAR even in the presence of a car with LCC, without any special modules, which in any case only work for the guy causing the interference.

    What does the LCC alert sound like? I don't think I've ever gotten an alert, so maybe my ALP already knows how to filter that stuff out?

    My alp didn't alert TO my Volvo City Safety laser, but it was squirrelly as to whether it would alert to anything or maybe alert once and then go stupid and never stop alerting.
    I discovered this by turning the DC power on but car off and testing. Everything was perfect. Then I started the car and places a cardboard over my laser sender/sensor by the RVM. Again all was well. Uncover the RVM and it went stupid.
    I just taped over the City Safety eyes and alp is happy. LCC is not on my car but that would be a royal pita.
