New ALP BT Module

[BestRadarDetectors]

FFS did anyone test this "new version" on the old bt module??!! I just upgraded and now the app force closes and crashes when trying to connect to the module just before it's supposed to present the keyboard to enter the module PIN. I even uninstalled and wiped the app cache. Reverting....

Are you on the current ALP firmware?

No, I'm on the previous one, FW 5.1.4 I believe. If the latest firmware is needed than it would have been nice for them to mention that in the "What's New" section of the app in the Google Play Store so that people would get a heads up before updating and getting hooped like I did. I will update my firmware this weekend.

You need to update the firmware to 5.2.1 which was released on 12/14.

Thanks for the very helpful reply after the fact. Yes, sarcasm. Maybe tell the developer to make a note of that in the Play Store change log.

We submitted a new version to Google Today V1.7A to correct that issue. In fairness the new BT Modules were not released yet and we were only giving users a heads up that the new app that supports the new BT was already available in the App Store.

I get that but a lot of people have Google Play store setup to auto update apps so they could have gotten into the same situation that I did without knowing what would happen. In any case what other new features will this new Bluetooth dongle give us? I saw the screenshots you provided of the new version show some new features but I don't see any of them active with my version 2 dongle.. Am I right to assume that they will only get those features when I upgrade to the latest bluetooth dongle? Specifically I saw what appeared to be a button on the left side to control the radar modes.

As of now no functionality difference will be noticed but it will support new features which will be rolled out over time. The biggest change is support for the new ALP Firmware and new BT Module with Auto Switching between BT and the wired controller.

In the iPhone screenshots of the new Bluetooth adapter webpage there looks to be some new features that don't exist on the Android version for example there is a highway icon in the bottom left hand corner of the car and also it is reporting the gun type and the frequency. Are these features coming to the Android version as well?

They are already there if you are using Radar Integration.
