Anyone install a 1 touch turn signal?
 

One feature I'd really like to have on the Z is a 1 touch turn signal. Doing some quick searching I came across this piece: Blinking Smart One Touch Lane Changer

Anyone install anything like this?

Sorry, but I have to shake my head at that.:shakes head:

I hate those blinkers to be honest. But I'm not against modding a car

Yeah, not that person. I rented a bare bones Ford super duty from Home Depot yesterday and noticed it had the 1 touch feature and figured it must be easy to install. I like it so figured I'd see if anyone else has installed one.

I am a fan of them.. My 09 Chevy 2500 Duramax has them but I wouldn't bother putting them on the Z

Seems like while this device blinks the light, your turn signal indicator on the dash doesn't blink to indicate it's working unless you get the plus version and splice that into an unused light on the dash...ghetto

I welcome any other input if someone has installed this feature.

I was surprised that the 2014 Z still didn't come with this feature... Seems like lots of cars have this

My wife's 2013 Hyundai Elantra and daughter's 2014 Rogue (the new model) have this feature. It blinks 3 times only.

Take it or leave it.

imo 3x is too short. i usually signal minimum 5x during lane change.

My cousin's five series has this. I hate the feature...it doesn't signal long enough for all the idiots on the road.

We have that now, don't we? I mean sure, its one blink per touch, but still...

You're thinking high beam. :icon17:

Why don't we all just use the blinkers like a normal person? Keep the signal on before you switch lanes then turn them off once you're completely in the next lane. :icon14:

Too much multi-tasking! :mad:


:rofl2:

There are 4 types of drivers:
1. No flasher at all
2. To tell you they are coming over regardless of whether or not there's room
3. To tell you where they've been
4. Then there are those that actually use a flasher to indicate they need to get over and would appreciate you accommodating them

im so glad we weren't talking about them other types of flashers... :wtf2:

Because people are too lazy to move their finger :icon14::icon14::icon14::icon14:

Hmm, but....I feel like a pro when I make a gradual turn with my signal light held on while braking and downshifting into it.... :( Don't take this away from me!

Ok, I admit I'd never heard of this before. Sounds like a neat toy.

But it makes me annoyed to read that page, like it's too hard to use a turn signal. (That should be directed at roughly 40% of other drivers who are too important/busy to use a turn signal, really.)

I also admit. I'm the dork who signals lane changes when there isn't a car in sight or when I'm driving through an empty parking lot. I guess I drive in a way that mitigates the risk of people I'm NOT actually seeing or don't know are there. Blindspots, people who race up too quick, pedestrians in the dark, the person who might have otherwise turned into me up ahead, or just me missing something (as rare as that is). Or for the bored cop up ahead who decides I need to be pulled over for making a manuever without proper signaling.

Well I'm glad I didn't need anyone to actually provide input of some value.

I have this on my m5, it's great!

Think of these as friendly bumps, only more entertaining :)

This is the dumbest thing. Why can't people drive properly? You can't seriously be too busy to drive properly! If you can't manage to use it properly then you shouldn't be driving.

I once had a co worker that I chewed out because I was following him to lunch and he never used his turn signals once and his reasoning was because he was "on the phone"!!!!! I wanted to beat his *** there and curb stomp his face. Because of him not using his indicators he crammed his way between cars a couple times during the drive causing the car behind him to slam on his brakes rather than showing the surrounding vehicles his intentions.

At least, you, being interested in this device shows us that you want to put some effort into driving properly.

How am I supposed to drive and masturbate if I have to keep messing with the dang turn signal? :icon17:

But seriously, does it even save time vs. a normal indicator?

Actually, fapping while driving makes it easier. Because third arm.

Ohhh gotta try that! :rofl2:

I use the turn signal now, where is this assumption coming from that I don't use a turn signal coming from? :icon14: Technically I want to reduce the effort I'm putting in to driving properly. :tup:

Probably not.

When my directional goes on, I am not asking permission to change lanes. I am kindly sharing my immediate intentions.

Back about 35-40 years ago, auto manufacturers started to study and change the layout of some of the controls in cars and somewhat standardize them across brands. One of these advancements was putting the turn signal stalk closer to your fingertips (provided you keep your hands on the wheel where they belong), adding a "lane change" function where you could push partially up or down on the stalk to blink and when you took pressure off it would reset, and the push forward for brights and pull back to flash function, all integrated on that stalk. Gone was the old push button on the firewall for the high beams.
Intermittent wiper functions and a one touch sweep feature became fairly standard for the wiper stalk.
The point of these design changes was to allow drivers to operate the functions by finger touch while keeping their hands on the wheel. Seriously, it's not that difficult.
