    Isn't that just option 5 (Constant - Dim)?

    I thought the control pad LED and remote LED were always operating identically. You can get them to operate independently in dim mode?

    No. Dim mode uses the control module LED to show that the system is in Defense Mode and keeps the external LED off until there's an alert. It's always been like that. A better name for this mode would have been "Control Module LED Only" mode because "Dim Mode" makes it sound like the LEDs are dimmer than in normal mode, which is just not true. One LED is just as bright as it was in normal mode while the other one is off.

    Now that it will be a constant blue light people will be complaining it's too bright. Lol

    I had an odd issue the other day my LP started screeching for some reason and when it stopped screeching the blue light was still blinking, no idea what was going on.

    FYI... New Setup option on the ALP update site. Must be running latest firmware (4.4.1 or newer) for the LED Feature:

    Love this option, this will be much less distracting & obvious after dark on the bike. Thanks to BRD & ALP for listening and responding to users.
