wondering if there or if anyone has done anything or knows anything that our TLS can have a 3 blink mod? like when i had my 03 jetta i bought a module from VW that i wired into the hazzard switch wiring and when i tapped the directional stalk it blinked 3 times.... i was wondering if the TLs have anything like this that can be done. thanks

 

seen it on newer audis and bmws, but never on an acura.

as far as i know its not available, and to be honest, probably wont ever be.

 

i know it sux that none have it... not even LEXUS or toyota have it either its redic... its a great feature.. ever since i had my 04 A4 with it i wanted it in all the cars i had after and i was able to with the jetta but not this. its kinda sad that GM has it but honda/acura doesnt... that is probably the one thing GM advanced on that the asian imports havent.

 

I loved that feature on the Corvette i rented last summer. My dads Genesis has it as well

 

so clueless...

 

Seems like a cool feature to have. But is it really that much more convenient than holding the stalk down for 3 seconds?

 

please explain? lol i'm clueless as well

 

you tap the stalk and it blinks 3 times rapidly. its used for highway lane changes

 

I wish we had something like the new mustangs...I love the 3 part sequential blinker

 

The single tap blinker is amazing. Ever since I starting working at benz ive always wanted the feature. My buddys MK5 jetta has it also. I hate signaling in my car now

 

i've never heard of that before but i did a quick youtube search and this vid explains it all.

when i change lanes, i just hold it down for a couple seconds i dont let it click in place

i wonder how much we won't have to do anymore in twenty years

 

rube goldberg would be disappointed

 

I do the same thing.

 

my dad has this is his 135 and it's so convenient. it seems like there would be some electrical mod taht could be done. but then again, the whole stalk would probably have to be altered since in his car you tap it and it 3 blinks or you push it and it clicks in to place and stays on.

if only...

 

my dad's a6 has this and I just think it's annoying cause half the time when I need to keep it down longer I forget cause I thought I already turned it on

 

yeah i just like to hold it and let it blink once
unless there's just bad traffic and i cant get in

 

You guys should stop being lazy and hold it down a second or two to change lanes haha.

 

i agree,

i don't see myself spending money for something like this

 

you should stop being lazy and install manual windows in your car.

 

 

Its not a matter of being lazy, but a nice convenience feature. It is especially nice in manual trans cars. Dont knock it till you actually have it and get used to it.

 

well.. as long as you signal when lane changing.. then i'm perfectly fine with it..

i hate people who don't signal...

 

i'm with you there... transitioning from Hampton roads VA, where everyone signaled everything, then coming back home to kentucky where people use it 33% of the time was a shell shocker for me.

 

Why would i do that when it's already auto? Very smart!

I have driven a Benz that had it for a couple of years. I'm still fine with what i have in the TL.

 

You guys need to take a drive in New Jersey one day....

 

youre obviously very good with sarcasm

 

For the second part, i was referring to the turn signal 3 blink settings. I'm fine with not having that. Other than that, i wouldn't mind having a Benz again.

 

My dad has it on his Dodge Magnum of all vehicles. I too long for it after I drive the Magnum, even for a day.

 

nvm

 

Can't be bringing Ramblings-type posts into the other forums phee!

 

then you would LOOOOVE california! been here for 7 months and i LOOOVE it

 

^ Have you read his location?....

 

thats sooo true.

turn signals? wtf are turn signals?

 

Lol

 

loll @ PA people talking smack.. worst drivers ever

 

Everybody here does their own thing, some use turn signals, others cut you off, and some slow down everybody behind to change lanes.

 

there are some pretty bad drivers in PA, a lot in fact. i agree on that. btw im originally from jeresy.

 

Its about time someone from NJ said something!

But seriously, people on here are car enthusiast, so they drive better than the average. No doubt, Philly drivers are horrible sometimes. I just noticed that NJ drivers use turn signals less...lol

 

My favorite are people with $50K+ SUVs that cant use their signals. They must be broken or something?

The only slack I cut is someone in a VW/Audi. Lord knows the electronics are so reliable in those cars, the signals may very well be broken!
