Updating the AL Priority.

Take the included USB flash drive and 

plug it back into your computer.  Delete 

any existing files on it so you are start-

ing with a blank flash drive.

Point your web browser to www.alpup-

the Terms of Use.

You will see the option “Configure” in 

large text on the left side of the page.  

Click on the blue “Enter” button to enter 

the configuration file setup. 

Select “North America” under the region 

drop-down.  This will take you to a page 

with several options.

By default, the AL Priority system is 

shipped in parking sensor only mode. 

If 

you wish to enable laser defense, you 

must choose the “PDC & LID” option.

 

Choosing “PDC & LID” will present sever-

al more options below.  

Leave every-

thing default except for “LID” time. 

This must be set to “Unlimited.”

Click “Save & download” to download 

your configuration file.  Move this file to 

the USB flash drive.

Point a new browser window back to 

www.alpupdate.com.  This time, click on 

the blue “Enter” button under the “Firm-

ware upgrade” text.     

Enter the serial number of your ALP 

control unit (found on a sticker on the 

back of the unit) enter the prompt, and 

press “OK.” 

 You will be prompted to answer a sim-

A firmware file will be downloaded to 

your computer.  Move this file onto the 

USB flash drive.  The flash drive should 

now have two files on it; the config file 

as well as the firmware file. 

Remove the flash drive from your com-

puter and plug it into the AL Priority 

CPU unit’s USB port.  Make sure the RC 

M and ALP are both powered off when 

you plug it in.   

Turn on the RC M system and wait sever-

al seconds.  The RC M will automatically 

recognize that the ALP has the firmware 

update flash drive plugged in, and the 

CPU will begin updating. 

Once the ALP has finished updating, the 

RC M display will give you a message 

indicating that the process has finished. 

Remove the flash drive from the ALP 

control unit and manually power off the 

RC M system. 

Power the RC M system back on and the 

process is complete.
