I see you dudes may have a legitimate need for wig-wag in motion, or at least with vehicle running. Is this allowed on a civilian vehicle not marked for emergency service?

I made a product decision based on DOT regulations that seem to frown on alternating flashing... is not in spec for flashers for passenger vehicles and I didn't want people getting a MOVING VIOLATION ticket. So I made it a non-feature in motion, and possible only at rest.

Several people have asked for the feature... should wig-wag in motion (ignition on) be allowed?
Other reason given the other day was "parade".

By the way, what's the tacky dash light you are refering to?

Yes, it's allowed on civillian vehicles, at least in Virginia.

The dash light i use is similar to this:



If you could make that option available it would be a huge plus for me. I can provide copies of my EMT certification if that helps make it easier on you.

You are waiting for it to arrive, it has been shipped (I'm showing ordered Jan. 28 shipped Feb.1).

Since I'm using postal system airmail to save you shipping costs these take about 10 - 14 business days to arrive to USA destinations. But it's also very reliable delivery. I say allow 3 full weeks before getting worried.


These terms are all laid out on the web page where you'd paid for the item, posted here for clarity and ease of access:

Quote:
Agreement with Terms

Web orders are made-to-order and ship manufacturer direct worldwide and come with 1 year replacement warranty and email technical support. Single order processing for shipment usually takes two business days from time of acknowledgement of order. Regular delivery is parcel post allow 3 - 4 weeks in North America or 6 weeks global. Include a valid shipping address and email contact when placing orders, and please provide year & make & model. Different forms of payment or delivery methods (courier, tracking, or insurance) can be arranged in advance before placing order. International money orders / postal money orders also accepted by mail. Contact AutoWindow by email.
I'd prefer if we don't clutter up this thread with shipping queries, contact me directly if you're not seeing arrival thanks.
