    Wouldn't be easier if the latest upgrades get loaded before shipping the system out?

    Don't you like to be the first one to crack open the plastic when you purchase a new product. Also from the time the product is manufactured, packed, shipped to distributors and then sold to customers the firmware could already be old. With today's jammers you always want to be current. It makes sense that when you install it you also update the firmware at the same time.

    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.

    Couldn't agree more! You need to learn how to do it because this is a cat and mouse game and you will be updating constantly!

    Just an update: a couple pages back, I came on here to ask about the inability to perform a firmware update for my ALP. BRD came through on this and sent me a replacement CPU along with a prepaid label to send the old one back. The new CPU works flawlessly and I'm a happy camper. Thought I would give a shout out to BRD for the excellent support.

    Won't know until we get the unit back. Having very few issues considering the amount of ALP'S that have been moving.

    Can you change the LID time (jamming time) with the Controller or only through the Set-up program/usb?

    I have the programming instructions, probably same as manual, but they only pertain to parking mode settings not LID time, Pro mode, etc. It really doesn't matter to me I just do not want to change it accidentally while playing with controller. I currently do not have bluetooth.

    You need to use the setup file but please do not fool around with the menu because you could actually erase your firmware with special support menus.

    I have only been using the Controller programming to go from Dim to Dark (and back) and Volume. They will be the only things that I will need to change on the go without a USB.
