    LED behavior in Pro Mode?

    If I enable Pro Mode on my ALP, it's my understanding that the LED will only blink when I'm actively being targeted by LIDAR. Does this apply to both LEDs (the control panel LED *AND* the LED attached to the 'LED' port on the ALP) or just to one of them?

    I'm thinking about enabling Pro Mode, but not if it makes it impossible to tell whether the threat is coming from the front or rear. I can see both LEDs easily from my normal position in the driver seat.

    It applies to both LEDs.
    If from the front LEDs will flicker Red, if from behind LEDs will flicker Yellow.

    So is this behavior correct?
    1. Blinking LED (red): Being actively shot from front
    2. Solid LED (red): Was shot from front, no longer being targeted, but still alerting
    3. Blinking LED (yellow): Being actively shot from rear
    4. Solid LED (yellow): Was shot from rear, no longer being targeted, but still alerting

    That is okay with me. It's only the case where (2) and (4) are dark LEDs instead of solid, that I'd have a problem with enabling Pro Mode. I use unlimited LID time, and do manual JTK.

    Got someone to shoot the simulator at the ALP for me, while I sat in the car. The answer is:
    1. Solid LED (red): Being actively shot from front
    2. Solid LED (yellow): Being actively shot from rear
    3. No LED, but steady tone for 2-3 seconds: Was shot, but no longer being targeted

    Ugh. Don't like this behavior. If you pick up scatter, or the cop shoots you and moves on to the next car (with full intentions of going back to you), you'd have no clue where the threat came from, if you weren't staring at the LEDs the entire time. This is important, especially at night, because you don't want to slam the brakes if it's a rear threat (or you want to kill the brake lights).
