Turn signal mod??

Anyone mod a turn signal relay to do that 3-blink routine when you momentarily touch the wand? Our Touareg and my work truck do that.

Timco, maybe you could splice in something like this:
Volkswagen R32 MKIV 3.2 ECS News - 000998229a - Turn Signal Comfort Module (Komfort Blinker) - ES#8792
Being a VW part, it may not be too difficult.

My MB & Audi have it... Kinda like having automatic headlights, not a big deal until you are without. I hope there's a retrofit available.

I do have that mod installed, not sure if it is still availlable, but worth every penny.

My other car has this but I actually prefer the way the Boxster does it. Sometimes there's no time for more than a blink

Can you tell us more about the install of this. The kit is available in the UK and is quite cheap.

Sorry I can't, as my dealership installed it for a few bucks while the Boxster was serviced. Should be a pretty straight forward installation...

Well, I would get it, as long as they are still available.
Works like described...touch...blink...blink...blink
