    My gf's Jetta has this feature and it stays on longer than you think. There are many instances when I'll only hold down the stalk for two or even one flash


    it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

      nice find on that module, I was going to make one myself that could plug into the harness. Maybe I still will if I can do it for less than 70 euro...
      All cars have this "lane change" signal feature to my understanding... at least every one I've driven.

      Thanks for the writeup, I may be doing this myself soon!

          It also states "Does not ship to United States".

            I know I found one for under $30, searching for komfortblinker on ebay Germany, and I think they're all the same, mine said universal but I think they just advertise for certain models to boos search results.

                Cool little mod, definitely adding this to my to-do list.

                Thanks for the write up!

                  I would like to do the same mod, and came across this old thread while researching for what others have done.

                  There is now a US company that makes a similar module, but it's not cheap:

                  Skudak is a boutique EV conversion workshop in Newbury, NH. We build bespoke electric vehicle conversions — handcrafted, engineered to last, and tailored to each vehicle and owner. Every build is handled by two engineers who care deeply about precision, performance, and the details most shops overlook. We also offer engineering R&D services for clients with custom electric drivetrain challenges. Limited builds per year.


                  I found this on eBay (German seller but ships worldwide), and asked them for instructions, before deciding which way to proceed.

                    I just ordered the eBay one and it arrived today. Looks the same as the one from the US company, who have the installation instrunctions here:

                    I'll be giving this a try at the weekend.
