Comprehensive ALP Installation and Setup Guide

Thanks! I went out to the car to get this all cleared up and you're right. With the LID Timer, the jammers always disable themselves altogether and go into parking sensor only mode once it's done. It doesn't matter if you manually or automatically JTK. It doesn't matter if you have it set to "Warm-up" or "DLI & Warm-up." As you said, the only way to have them rearm right afterwards is to stay in Unlimited Mode.

I'm a little confused still about exactly what the two options are for the LID Warmup. I've made a few trips out to the car now and what I'm seeing is that with the LID Timer enabled, it will go into parking mode only once the encounter is done. Both "Warm-up" and "DLI & Warmup" will continue detecting post-JTK until the lidar goes away and it switches to parking sensor mode only. I thought this would be a difference.

Whether you select the DLI after the timer or not, it always says "Interference Detection Only" as well. So I'm not quite sure what the difference is between "Warm-up" and "DLI & Warm-up."

I wish there was a way to have the Automatic LID Timeout and then rather than warm up in parking sensor only mode, stay in receiving only mode, that way we could see the rest of the encounter. That's one thing I really liked about the HP-905's is that it was easy to switch them into detection only mode without a shadow of a doubt that you have JTK'ed since it has that rotating physical control switch. With the ALP, it's not always quite as clear that your jammers are disarmed and sometimes I wonder if they've actually been killed so I'll press the button a few more times to make sure.

Skip First Warmup is to enable the unit to skip the initial 60 second warmup period when the system starts. This setting is only for initial boot up.

Warm-up" and "DLI & Warm-up." after the timer expires is just exactly what it says... With warm-up after the timer expires it will go right into the 60 seconds parking only warm-up period. If you use DLI & Warm Up after the timer expires it will continue to alert you (Putting you into Detection Mode) until the threat ends and then move to the 60 second warm-up period.
