    Sounds good with the new setup files to choose from!

    Sure would be nice for APPLE to get the new Connect App out so we all can update OTA.......

    It will not be released before the new BT module is released since there are changes that need to be made to support the new BT module. Get one of those $10 to $20 cheap Android phones and use it for just the ALP.. The Android platform is much better since Apple restricts so much on the iPhone platform.

    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.

    This idea of using an inexpensive Android to run Alp Connect & Blue tooth appeals to me for many reasons.
    It seems to me the Android becomes a dedicated operating screen for ALP Connect
    So let me hang out my lack of knowledge and ask
    - how one accomplishes this without actually opening a cell provider account?
    - how the internet then gets accessed for the OTA updates?
    - any specific phones to recommend
    I do not mean to hijack this thread.
    If it is better to PM the answer or to direct me to a different thread please do so

    Screw this LOL stuff. If they don't find it humorous on their own, then let 'em take it seriously.

    Heck just about any Android 4.2 or higher phone with Bluetooth 4.0 support should work. I have not tested one of these but even this would probably work and its a whopping $10

    Just use WiFi to connect it to your regular phone to add internet to the device for updates.
