Info on New Light Settings - Version 3.36

Hi everyone.

I'm hesitant to update the RTL515 to Version 3.36 in fear of loosing the flashing light function. But persistent nagging to update is starting to be very annoying on my Edge, with an alert to update both before and after a ride.

Garmin states this feature can be enabled in the Varia app. 
Perhaps I'm not clear on whether the "feature" that can be enabled in the app is "disable light changes on the detection of radar threats". 

Or is it the other way around, where the blinking of light  on the detection of radar threats must be re-enabled in the app after the update.

Has anyone upgraded and is your device still behaving as it did before, with Blinking on detection of radar threats?

Thanks in advance.

    I just upgraded my Varia's firmware and was just worried I had lost that mode.

    I did a bit more reading, basically it enables a setting in the Varia app which you can use to disable the pulse-brighter-on-vehicle feature.

    I don't use the app but I installed it and paired it, when I went into the settings page the feature was already enabled, so from what I can see, users will not need to do anything. The only people who need to do anything are users in France who want to disable the feature to comply with local laws.
