Great MOD: Convenience Indicators
Most modern cars come with "Convenience Indicator" feature: a single short tap on the indicator stalk makes the indicators flash 3 times and then automatically stop. Great for lane changes on motorways. I find myself usually blinking just once when I change lane and this kit will help me to improve my behaviour!
 Someone has fitted the kit in A4 B5: http://www.youtube.com/embed/SfzH057npic VAG supplies two OEM kits to retrofit this feature for older cars: * 000 998 229 -- universal wiring harness * 000 998 229 A -- vehicle specific kit for Passat B5 I understand all kits are based on essentially the same relay, just different harness. I've purchased the "000 998 229" kit here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3603732700...ht_2381wt_1220 Perhaps direct purchase from TPS or VW dealership will come cheaper. More pictures here: http://www.golf3.de/anleitungen-tuto...rtblinker.html Will do a writeup for D2 when the kit arrives.

Hmmm, don't see the point myself.
 If I change lane I indicate appropriately and ensure the indicators are cancelled when the manoeuvre is completed.  Sames as I do for any other use of the indicators.  (don't really have to think consciously about it TBH) Those stupid BMW indicators that you can't cancel are a ridiculous PITA.  Or am I just "old school".

Is it BMW who invented them? I noticed them on E classe merc in taxi from Heathrow two weeks ago and started internet search. Initially wanted to buy merc relay and install in my Audi, but found official VAG kit. I understand all new Audi's come with this feature too.

 Have you noticed that most continental drivers don't understand indicators - they put it on to overtake on a Motorway/Dual carriageway and it stays on click after click after click (gerrit?) until they come back in. It's the intent that is signalled, not the whole manoeuver, are they looking for a gap in the armco?

Nice, I saw a kit like this for the C5 when I had the RS6....
Its not so bad if you drive a D2 all the time, you get used to having to use the indicators normally. My problem switching into and out of D2's is the wifes car does have convenience indicators and I was forere doing silly single indicates on motorway lane changes when I got back in the D2.... lol A nice retofit of a modern feature...
