Visual alerts for deaf people

It's best to offset it, rather than directed at your eyes(or line of vision)...especially for nighttime driving.If that's not possible you could rig up some kinda small flip-down shade in front of it at night.

I keep all installs in Dark Mode so when they alert you really cant miss the bright Red Light going off.

One thing I found when switching to Dark mode, is when you switch it to that mode, it's fine and works as described. But, once you power cycle the unit for any reason, most likely starting you car after it was turned off, it goes back to the blinking LED on the controller. The file I loaded last night appears to have Dim mode working now, but, at night, it's still way too bright. Any idea on how to keep the unit in Dark mode, after a power cycle of the unit or vehicle?

When powered on it Blinks for 60 seconds before going back into dark mode so that you see all the startup alerts if there are any problems. After the 60 seconds it will go dark again.

Got it, thanks. I wasn't waiting the 60 secs for it to cycle. I'll check it out when I go out in a few mins.
