"Another interesting device I've thought about is the "flash to change 
lanes" feature that the Mercedes turn signal relay has. A quick, not to
lock, actuation of the turn signal lever causes the turn signals to blink 3
times. If you actuate it to lock, it blinks until cancelled by driver or
upon turn exit."

Now that is one of the best ideas I have heard in a long time. It makes
driving courteously convenient. This has to be pretty effin simple too.

Thanks Steve. If the relay works - let us know.

Sorry guys, waaaaaaaaaay too Big Brother, for me at least.  

I signal every f'n lane change, even into my driveway, always.  It's a good
habit.  But damn if I'll have someone else dictate how many f'n flashes I
get.  I do believe the new Audi's come w/ this feature, no?  Me no likey...
I'll flash the way I want thank you.  That'd be the very first relay to go
if I got a car w/ it, but hey I do have issues...

Let's keep them features on the Buicks where they belong and help the
clueless masses...  not on fine German sedans etc.

What's that Autoweek quote...  "sign that the end of the Automotive World is
nigh"?
