    Unfortunately it's an Apple limitation on how notifications are allowed to he displayed. If you were to run ALP Connect on Android you could have the app in the background with the screen off and even locked and if hit the phones screen would wake up and unlock and the app would come immediately foward.

    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.

    OK...

    I think I saw a post on this forum with picture of a PopUp window w/radio button to bring ALP Connect to forefront?

    Not so with my version...a small text banner is placed at top of screen that is hardly noticeable

    From that it's....press-press ; touch ; touch ; touch (with left hand on iPhone) all the while backing off throttle with right hand along with maybe a little right foot brake

    For now I just depend on the 6 second delay before park assist

    For apple version you need to go to notifications in your settings and customize the notifications to the choices apple offers. You will see the different options available but the only option apple offers is notification bar or pop up banner. You cant bring he whole app forward but the banner will give you the popup with the option to cancel or open the app.

    I had the banner selected...changed to Popup and will test it out tomorrow. Should be much better than 'push-push, slide, slide, tap, tap'

    Yep...know that now. I'm new to the forum and read a few threads after my post. Guess I shoulda done a little lurking before my 1st post

    I'll probably be scouting for a used iPhone 5, pick up another Ram mount and run ALPConnect dedicated on the 5....or mount an Android unit
