I wanted to cross-post the following here, as there's been so much claimed here, from
LPP Rep, of the LPP's capabilities against the TruSpeed - and that as a long-time user and proponent of the LPP, I feel that it is very important that this concern be examined fully.
----
I was posting to another thread here (
How many head units for a large SUV? ), when it reminded me of this continuing concern, for us LPP users and long-time proponents.
It's now well-known that the pre-100 PPS UL-"fix" variant of the LPP will not properly detect nor jam the LTI TruSpeed.
The CFL hobbyist group on RD.net has demonstrated and recorded this, very conclusively, and there have been two very public independent hobbyist "conversions," from the LPP to the LI, on RD.net, to say the least.
The original thread on the Canadian LPP Support Forums, authored by fellow LPP user, long-time proponent of the LPP, and a well-known enthusiast
davekr, not only offers detailed chronology of our woes, but furthermore provides the necessary outlink ( page 4, post 5, by, again, fellow LPP user and long-time proponent, and again a noted enthusiast as well,
the horn13 ) to the CFL group's video, in the RD.net post referenced above, also offers, from
go.mouse, the KMPH-Canada/LPP-Canada representative, an honest and candid admission of KMPH-UK/LPP-UK's efforts, and I quote:

Anyone who knows me in this community knows that I've been an LPP user since 2006, and that I have spent my good money on not one, but two, control-boxes, with three total heads, to protect my vehicle.
Furthermore, anyone who knows me knows just as well that I'm a truly independent hobbyist. I have no ties to anyone in this industry or hobby. I pay full retail for all of my countermeasures. To the powers that be, I'm just another anonymous consumer.
My goal with this post, and the posts before it, on this Forum as well as all others (as you can see by reading *any* of my such posts), is neither to discredit LPP/KMPH, nor, specifically,
LPP Rep and DMI-Sport here.
It is simply to bring forward what we know of to be the truth of the case and to highlight our collective concern and desire for LPP/KMPH to properly address this issue for those of us who are their customers - and to make sure that other consumers here, as well as newcomers to the community, are well-aware of this issue.
There is now nowhere to hide from this issue. There is now no way to, anymore, "debate" this issue based on assumptions and suppositions.
There are now others in the community who have the TruSpeed in-hand, and have tested the previous-iteration (non-100 PPS Ultralyte enabled) LPP against the device, and have reported failure.
There is now admission from within the LPP organization that a "software solution is currently being worked on" to combat this new threat.
The problem is real. It exists. And we are all awaiting, eagerly, as LPP users, resolution.
