    Your friend DOES know that you're supposed to slow down, and then KILL the jammers so that they CAN get your speed, right?

    Also, tell your friend to park in the garage next time so that when he enables Privacy Mode, if the cops show up at the door, he can pull the USB key before giving the cops access to the vehicle.

    I've had jammers on my cars for almost 10 years and the law here in the UK has never explicitly outlawed them. Only recently has there been test cases that have led to draconian sentences for those caught having used them to evade a speeding fine.

    Given this thread expressly asks for suggestions on features that users would like to see and everybody involved with AL may not be aware of the severity of punishment handed out if caught using a jammer in the UK I would have hoped that this sort of suggestion would be considered a possibility not dismissed out of hand.

    Also I can find no mention of a privacy mode in my manual. There is an anti theft option mentioned which explicitly states that the ALP will not "power on" without the USB key inserted.

    Is the manual incorrect and it should say "remains in parking mode?"

    If that's the case then the security key is the way for me to go obviously.
    It should power up but remain in parking mode.

    He's no friend, just a muppet who..

    1. Didnt kill his jammers on 4 separate occasions over 3-4 years when targetted by camera equipped laser vans thus bringing himself to their attention.
    2. Got nicked once being a dick, £1000 fine
    3. did the same again.. 2 months in prison

    Result? He allowed a test case to be taken against him thus ensuring if this happens again a precedent has been set for anyone else in the same position.
    Interestingly the second time had a Blinder HP905 fitted and the police operator said he knew he was being jammed by the error codes (E-01 to E-03, yeh right I get those aiming at a wall) and the sound the gun made. Load of bollax imho simply said in court but add weight to their piss poor argument but he did bring it on himself by being a tool. Sadly now he's made too many police forces aware of jammers and their abilities. I preferred it when cops thought jammers were rubbish and their guns were infallible devices "made originally for NASA."

    Thanks pal. It seems the "privacy mode" is my best option if this coded profile switch wont be implemented.

    What an idiot. People like that need to have their jammers smashed. And their car windows smashed too. And they should be added to a blacklist by all jammer manufacturers to make sure they can't get another jammer ever again.
