I thought you had 30 seconds of random beeping during the self-checks. My passport 9500ix has about 5 seconds of different chirps but it's enough to almost start annoying me.

Ahh...lol.. yeah that would be annoying as hell. I know what you mean, my V1 goes through all these beeps during the startup. Thankfully the Blinder isn't like that.

The increased idle that you mention at cold start-up is the ecu "waiting" (can't think of a better word, sorry) for a signal from the oxygen sensors. Once they've gone closed loop, the idle comes down. Usually only takes less than a minute. After that, it should be ok to give-'er!

I usually wait til the rpm's are at 1k or below.
