Lane Change signal
Hello....I have a 2012 TL w/tech package. I have been searching around and I believe I know the answer but wanted to ask the forum. The turn signal lane change where you tap the turn signal stem and it blinks like 3 times and quits. I was at the Acura dealer this past Saturday and he said the 2012 did not have this feature. I told them I just couldn't believe that Acura did not have this!!! I drove my sons 2007 GMC Yukon the other day and it had it, a 2007 American built vehicle. I can't believe that Acura has not put out a software update to address this which I believe could be handled this way. I guess this is more of a statement than a question but I am really disappointed in Acura missing this option which I think should have been easily been addressed even prior to my 2012 TL.

it's not software though.. it's hardware, that involves a hardware relay to accomplish that.

I was surprised when I realized my 2012 TL didn't have it either back in 2012 when I bought it. My in-laws 2009 Cobalt has this feature. I think Chevrolet has it on just about every vehicle they produce, it's a nice little feature but not that big of a deal.

Thanks for the responses. My thinking was that maybe if it was a software fix that someone had this done and would respond. I was thinking software since the turn signal stem already has a relay but what is needed is for it to be programmed to recognize just a tap of the stem compared to being fully engaged. It just blows my mind that Acura let this slip bye................

You could always buy a module that'll do the 3 blinks when you tap the blinker stalk. IMO not worth it to me to spend 50+ dollars on this

The Original Shawdy
The I8 I drove had this feature but it's a one tap down and stays on until you turn. It was a nice feature but not a necessity. My wife has the 2016 RDX advance and I don't notice it. Maybe because I treat it like a normal signal...
