    Control Box Firmware update Report (21.06.2016)
    Release 5.2.5/6.8

    1. Added support for Net-Radar detector.
    2. Added support for ALP Radar/GPS Plugin 3.
    3. Added support for the latest Android ALPConnect app.
    4. A new self-test function added, checking if the system is properly configured.
    5. Support improved for several LIDARs.
    6. Bug-fixes (Laser, Radar, PDC, etc.)
    Can you elaborate on #4. A new self-test function added, checking if the system is properly configured. What exactly is checked and how and where you get the results of the check?
    Thank you

    You will get a checksum error if your settings file is not up to date with valid settings. Just download and install a new config file with this update.

    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.

    Going to update tomorrow (Canada Day holiday!) To recap: I do the factory reset FIRST, then add all the new files from the USB like normal?

    Install the firmware and you will probably get the error which will reset the defaults automatically after the update. Just make a new config.alp file from the alp update site and keep it on the drive and it will load it when done with the firmware and you will not have to do anything but insert the drive with the firmware and configuration file.

    I though it was something more than that. I'm already using the new FW with a new config without any issues.

    I just upgraded my setup to v5.2.5, and everything seems to be working as expected (my laser tester is setting off the voice alerts and pro-mode tones).

    But I'm curious if the behavior has changed, or if my memory is wrong, or maybe I did something different when creating the new settings file. IIRC when I would hit the left button on my HiFi module it would give me a double-beep and turn green, indicating parking mode only. Now when I do that it says "muted" and stays blue. Did something change with v5.2.5 or am I losing my mind?

    Your LID setting probably expired and you muted the parking sensors. You need to supply more information LID Settings? After LID Settings?

    Here are the settings I changed from the defaults:

    Dark Mode - Dim
    Status LED - Constant
    Advanced options - PDC & LID
    Pro Mode - Enable
    LID Time - Unlimited
    After LID timeout - DLI & Warm-up

    I just started my car and hit the left HiFi button again (without firing the tester) and it still says "muted" and stays blue.

    Single Press of the Button turns the Parking Sensors On or Off.

    It looks like I was wrong and it was a single press of the Menu button that put it in parking mode only:


    But when I press the Menu button a single time nothing happens now.
