My question is the same as the Title. I am wondering if it is Possable to extended the turn signal operation tap-for-three-blink to 5 blinks :confused:

3 blinks is ok IF you want to make a lane change with Very few people on the road, 1st your inetnsion 2nd 1/3 in the lane change 3rd 2/3rds in the selected lane, all with in 3-4 sec. But it just seems to short for higher traffic areas. IMO
plus it give the person in the other lane time to react to me cutting them off :eek: (JUST KIDDING)

The point of the signal is to let your intention be known. Hence five blinks would allow you to signal ahead of time and then complete your lane change.

I also wish I could increase the number of blinks.


When I owned my touareg I used VCDS (ross-tech) to do this.

I was told by a jeep tech that mopar used to allow certain coding mods but then changed to the accesory coding system which made it hard to do these same simple changes

3 blinks is to short. They should allow 5 blinks. Oh well, I drove a new 2014 S Class last week and of course it only had the same 3 blinks from the factory. I asked the service department if it could be changed to 5 blinks. They said they could program it for any amount of blinks a customer would like for a lane change. Of course those things cost at least double what most WK2's go for.

i think 5 would have been perfect. I feel with the 3 blinks, you have to already start the lane change when you hit the indicator, otherwise your still mostly in the lane as the 3 blink is at its end. I've noticed this has been the setting on Chrysler vehicles for awhile now though. My parents have a 2005 300 that has the 3 blinks and we rented a Charger in 09 that was set at 3 as well.

If you want more blinks, just put it fully on, and turn off after you've completed your maneuver. I know everyone wants everything to be automatic, functioning the way they would like, but that's asking a lot of the manufacturer. The control is at your fingertips. :D

I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread. The 3 blink on my 14 Overland does not operate if the speed is over 40. Is this correct?

The blinks work at any speed. if you flick the turnsignal stalk at 0 mph you will get the same three blinks.


I think the people that are asking for the increased amount of blinks want it for when they are in slower moving traffic.

If you are moving at highway speed 3 blinks is sufficient, but in the city at slower speeds a couple more blinks would have been great.

거의 모든 제조업체에서 3으로 설정하면 필요한 모든 것입니다. 이미 다른 차선으로 이동한 후에도 깜박이는 깜박이는 의미가 없습니다. 내 차선 변경은 두 번만에 완료됩니다.
[/인용하다]

그다지 좋지 않은 운전 습관입니다.
깜박이는 차선을 변경하기 전에 진입하기 전에 뒤에 있는 차량에 알려야 합니다.
깜박이는 것은 내가 이미 차선을 변경하고 들어왔다는 신호가 아닙니다.

It's not a very good driving habit.
Before changing to a flashing lane, you must inform the vehicle behind you before entering.
Flashing is not a sign that I have already changed lanes and entered.
I totally agree. If he is completing a lane change in 2 turn signal flashes he is doing it WAY too fast. It's not a race to see if you can switch lanes before the default 3 flashes have completed.

I do not like the tap function at all. I want a solid click on and off. The number of times I accidentally touched that and then just went back and forth trying to turn it off is annoying.
