indicator repeater or buzzer

[executivetravel]

how best can i install a small buzzer or repeater light in/on the dashboard so i can avoid leaving my winker on for 150 miles along the m1?...

Does the flashing light on the dash not draw your attention?


You need to tap into the load + side of the relay or the indicator + wires on the back of the cluster. The buzzer can be earthed to any handy bodywork.

Bear in mind that if you tap into the cluster wiring, you need to tap both + feeds (left and right indicator warning lights).

An interesting thought. Is it possible to buy a different relay with a built-in buzzer, such as this?

(Note: that is for LED indicators, may not be suitable for incandescents, but just to illustrate the possibility)

Or piggy-back a small buzzer on the existing relay? Then its plug and play ...

GET AN STORK THAT CANCELS AND REALISE YOUR BAD DRIVING HABITS

im 6 feet tall, the dashboard light just seems to hidden by the steering wheel, plus i tend to watch the road....

my stalk cancels on proper turns, but overtaking on motorways it doesnt have enough "action" to do so

i was thinking about two orange LEDs each with a feed from the side indicators (left+right), low consumption, etc.

placed in my line of sight, or where ill see em..............

Or buy a mk7 with 'lane change' indicators (3 flashes then cancels )

How about wiring in a towbar buzzer

Interesting! How do you do that? That mode I mean, not how to buy a Mk7!

Just gently flick the indicator stalk rather than clicking it all the way (if that makes sense!!!)

I think I just found the first useful feature on the Mk7! Thanks, coconut. Made my day.

But then I won't be able to do my characteristic alternating L/R signal to acknowledge 'flashing in' by HGVs, etc? Oh, no - I was excited there for a minute.

Just imagine you are driving a BMW or taxi, and don't bother to indicate

If I have a Mk7, apparently I will have ESP so I will know what they are going to do before they do.
