ships worldwide postal for $10, no tracking for that

will ship anywhere you want, don't care if it matches paypal address or not

pm me here to give special instructions where to ship, or leave a note with your paypal purchase where to send it, or do both!

Just order off the website, link is

Has anyone tried all of the features of this flasher with the Buddy Club sequential taillights? Especially strobe turn signals and hazards?

Thanks!

What's your opinion on the loudness of signaling "ticks"? I find in quieter cars, I like quieter signal ticking sounds.

I've made up some TapTurn units that have sound output that is about half the volume of a regular flasher. So it's quite muted.

Some people like solid loud ticks, as a reminder the signals are on... others have asked if it would be possible to "quiet down" a flasher so its ticks are softer and less noticeable.

Before, I'd stuff sound dampening material in the flasher, but now I've made up a bunch using a different internal relay selection that just happens to be much quieter.

Thoughts?

I have the strobe pack, and I can't tell a difference from the stock sound. I like it a lot.

I'm sure the quieter ticking would be better for when you have full strobe enabled. Especially the wig wag strobe. The ticking from that could get annoying. I've gotten used to the strobe double signal flashing sound though.

This is a great signal relay as is, but offering a quiet option would probably appeal to those who don't like loud (Stock flasher volume) ticks.

if getting strobepack option one is in order to have new feature..could i complete disable it or get regular one with new feature as customized made

btw, could make the clicking sound a bit louder. it's hard to hear when playing music with my current one.

I have just made a product update, and it's detailed on the web site.

Basically, the change is now you just tap the signal stock when flashers are on to get the modified patterns (eg wigwag). No longer is it necessary to keep the signal stalk in left or right positions to keep modified hazards working. This change means you can drive around a track or patrol a parking lot with wig wag hazards staying on and steering wheel turns won't cancel them.

Also, you can tap right to get wig wag flashing, then tap left to slow down wig wag... Which makes a new hazard mode that is easy to do.

All units shipping forward will have this new capability.

If you NEED this new capability on your existing TapTurn unit that has been purchased in the last year, I can upgrade the software with a new chip for USD$25 (total) if you send it in to me I will send it back with one day turn around. This is essentially just covering my costs for the upgrade.

is it possible to upgrade my module purchased May 2014 to a current one? Mainly would just like the strobe pack though.

Does the strobing feature also strobe flash on the dash board? Does it strobe click also? Or are the turn signal flash and clicks the same? Hopefully it will stay the same inside, because multiple strobe flash/clicks I'd imagine would be annoying.

I would like to upgrade mine as well to get the strobe add on...

Quick question - has anybody had any issues with the hazards / indicators not working after jump starting with a tapturn installed?

This has happened to me twice now (the first time it fixed itself somehow :-/ ) and trying to work out where the problem is.

Cheers

Neil

EDIT - Problem solved - the tapturn just needed a hard reset. for anyone else having the same issues visit here - http://www.autowindow.com/install-instructions

and specifically, do this:

Quote:
After battery maintenance, boosts, disconnection, or accidental discharge you may need to restore TapTurn with a hard reset. Once the battery is in good condition, pull the hazard fuse, then plug the fuse back in. Follow with a soft reset to restore TapTurn to its original shipped condition.
(right off the web site page you pointed to)
