Here's some tid bits: they take pictures of each package coming into the country, front and back. You can give USPS your tracking number and ask them "why is my parcel not moving"... Do that if it takes longer than 2 weeks at that spot. Ask to see the front picture to verify the address. Then, miraculously (they find your package again) and on tracking you'll see it continue on it's journey to your house.

...be assured you'll get your order.

If USPS screws the delivery up or loses it... I will take care of you, don't worry.
Thanks that's reassuring I actually messaged them on live chat today and got a similar response and now my relay has magically arrived to a USPS facility in Hazelwood Missouri looks like its back on the move

I like the slowmotion hazards in Standard mode and I like the strobe zigzag wag in Strobe mode. I like to have both in same time, without switching to Strobe and back... One on left turn, other on right. No more switching.

This may be off topic, but ...

In the tachometer window on my dash there is a warning light that blinks all the time about every 5 seconds. The blinking starts when I remove the ignition key and stays on whether I lock the car or not. The icon for the light is a combination of an oversized padlock and a miniature car profile.

I have the tapturn installed, that's why I am posting my question here: What's going on?

That's normal. It's the antitheft device installed in the car (basically the smart key).

It also give a great appearance of being an armed alarm system to anybody that doesn't know there is no alarm. Sort of like a beware of dog sign with no dog.

Black Friday: order a regular TapTurn today (Nov.27,2015) for your FRS/BRZ and get a free StrobePack upgrade. How? Place an order for a regular TapTurn and where the order form asks for car year, make, and model, just put "BF86" and it will happen. www.autowindow.com
