DIY: One Touch 3 Blink Turn Signal (no harness cutting)

[Das Delfin]

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 wasn't until after driving the E90 for 2 years, that I realized that the E30 turn signal stalk was meant to be used like this. The only difference is you have to hold it down for the 3 blinks, instead of it doing it for you automatically.

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!

Great write up, I miss this feature when I drive the E30

I knew I paid more like $30 for mine. Here's a better link, I think maybe this seller didn't have them available before. Searching 'komfortblinker bmw' on ebay Germany came up with this for 21 euros.

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.

every time i drive a new car with this 'safety' feature this is what happens: 'left signal OOPS cant change lanes yet CANCEL right signal CANCEL CANCE!@!11!E LEFT NO RIGHT JUST TURN OFF SHEEEEET' battle with your stalk.

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

Thanks for the write up!
