    ALP and Stir+ Radar Antenna Integration question

    I know from our conversations that Stir+ is not quiet ready for purchase. In the meanwhile, I have a few thoughts/questions. I believe that if you have Bluetooth module, the radar strength will show on iPhone. I don't know if the following questions have been addressed:
    • Does it have GPS falsing lockouts? If so, does it require the GPS antenna?


    Thanks!

    I have stated this several times that there are no GPS Lockouts with the Sti-R Plus integration. GPS Lockouts are a patented Escort/Beltronics feature and adding the Sti-R Plus Antenna to your AL Priority will just add Radar Integration so you will have one unit controlling both your Radar & Laser Defense.

    You will have the Band Segmentation Features, RDR ON/OFF, POP ON/OFF and you will have Frequency Display through the smartphone app. In the near future GPS will be added but it will be for Savvy like features so you can set the Radar & Laser alerts to not go off if you are traveling under a set speed.

    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.

    Thanks for clarifying... Sorry I failed to see prior posts elsewhere about no GPS lockouts.

    No issues... There is too much information scattered across several posts. I will consolidate all the information when I get some time.

    To be honest that is really all I need. I like the "cruise control" "savvy feature" just as well as the lockouts. I have tried as hard as I can to get Escort to add Cruise Alert to escort live. This would really help to make Live more useful in quieting down the Redline.

    Sorry, This is one of the last projects. I do not have any definite answers that I could give you at this point. I am sure the goal is to give you all the data that is available on the smartphone app on the separate display.
