I did point him in the direction of @Vortex video and write up about placement etc. He said he took a look. Yes, I can take a couple of inside tomorrow, ingenious where he put the led!!
I know I really like the LED spot he chose. Constant on, check. Dim, check. CPU and serial number photographed, check. Tomorrow am off to #realdealmeats, Ellerslie road so it means eastbound Henday. Got no rear protection so will stick to limit (as always) and see if the boyz in blue are aboot.Perfect. It was hard to tell the hight from the last pictures.
Love where he put the LED.
In the settings, I have a couple off suggestion. More a personal preference.
1. I prefer the constant on rather than flashing LED.
2. Because our days are so short.... and my work schedule of driving to work in the dark.... driving home in the dark, I usually have it on “Dim” for the winter months.
The Auto Dim feature is usually good for spring till fall, but it seems to work on a clock rather than us being at 51° latitude.
Play around with it to see what you like the best.
Also take a picture of your serial number on the unit. You’ll need it whenever you go to ALP’s site to make adjustments, and it’s just easier if you have the picture in your phone for quick reference.
The only thing i am not certain about is the placement of the buttons. They are in the open and am not sure how that's viewed generally i.e. not exactly hidden. I will make sure i have a mask over the top of it each time i leave. lol
I really like the 3 different profiles and use them to quick cycle between my heads up bright (dim setting) extra LED in my instrument panel for daytime, then nighttime switch profile saved to the dim dim dim. LOL control button mounted low by my knee, and nothing up in my line of sight at night.Perfect. It was hard to tell the hight from the last pictures.

Hi, you're not being rude at all, i wasn't sure how paranoid folks were with the buttons on display or not.Dont want to be rude but take it easy. Its really not a big deal.
I have 6 sensors front and rear, 2 detectors and dash cam on my windshield, rear cam on my rear windshield and ALP control pad next to my start/stop button and never had any issues when pulled over in my 6 years running it. Got pulled over twice, once got a speeding ticket (cop lied). Had hundreds of cops cars around me, behind me, next to me, nothing.
I really dont care anymore when I see a cop next to me. Its a parking sensor, nothing else.

Exactly by the walking bridge and Muttart. Unfortunately, he had to cancel so no testing as yet. I did ask about another time but he must be busyNice. That didn’t take long. You just got the system tested Sunday.
Where about on 98 ave? Just by the walking bridge close to the Mutart conservatory?
Btw..... how did the testing go?
