    One thing I noticed is that at startup, even if you select the "Silent power-up" and "Skip first warmup" options checked, the ALP still shouts "Active!" at startup. I get that there's two parts, the power-up procedure and then the normal operation of the jammers and that the power-up procedure is independent of the announcement that the jammers are now operational (especially helpful after a JTK), but it would be really helpful to be able to truly get a silent power-up when the option is selected.

    A couple people have mentioned that the announcement startles their passengers. For me I run my speakers at volume 5 so that I can hear it while driving and, well, it is very loud when sitting in a parking spot. The high pitched beep with the standard control module was also a bit ear-piercing at loud volumes, so a truly silent option would be very much welcomed.

    Some people mentioned they like having an audio confirmation so perhaps 3 options would be very helpful.

    1) Normal operation with all sounds on at startup
    2) Shorter audio startup like we have now to verify that the speakers are working
    3) Totally silent option where only the lights light up upon startup

    Thanks!
    We will offer some more controls of the alerts in a future update.
