Varia Radar Rear Light FW 3.60: Has it improved over 3.40?

I was out riding yesterday with the Varia Radar rear light using FW 3.60. I am also using the RDU (on FW 3.40). It seemed to me that most cars were being detected later than before. The white leds indicating a car were first appearing in the upper half of the display. This was on straight roads and with little traffic. In one case no red light was displayed when a car was coming very fast behind me and the white led first appeared right at the top of the display.

Anyone else used the updated firmware?

Maybe another difference between v3.40 vs. v3.60:
On v3.40 the radar automatically goes totally off after a minute when i stop an activity and leave the activity app.
On v3.60 it seems to stay on so i had to manually switch off (the blue status led is blinking if the taillight is off).
Can you confirm this? I'm actually back on v3.40...

If I turn off the RDU (3.40) unit, the Radar Rear Light (3.60) turns off too. Which is the same as when the Radar Rear Light was on 3.40.

Firmware 3.6 is not working properly with Edge 1000 - manual selection of light mode (shutdown / continuous / flashing selection) is faulty. Go back to 3.4 and everything works fine.
