    There have been 3. You are forgetting the 2.0 version that came out between the first one and the 3rd (current). See your posts #3 and #5 at the link below. In our conversation we are talking about the 2.0 module, which was before the latest one with the dual connectivity.

    In any case, I'm right as the first one can't upgrade the ALP firmware via BT, v2.0 and 3 (current) can. Also, and I may be mistaken on that one, V1 and V2 are deprecated so they can only operate with older firmware installed on the ALP.

    There are 2 BT Modules (V1 and V2) the HW 2.0 was a different Firmware loaded on the original BT Module's BT processor to try to add update firmware capability and add future capability to the original BT Modules but it was not successful because as new phones were introduced and existing phones had operating system updates we could not keep up with changes on new BT protocols that evolved because there was no way to update the BT chips in the original BT Module without removing the processor and putting them in a programmer, reprogram them and then re-install the processors. The original BT module still works 100% for ALL of its original advertised functions. The V2 Module (2nd BT Module w/Pass Through) is firmware updateable so we can now update the BT Processor via ALP Connect so we can now keep up with phone changes that effected new features such as the ability to update CPU Firmware, RG Modules, BT Module, Etc over BT.
