    Hey,

    i tried the search function but I can’t find anything, maybe lack of translation on my side...
    Anyway, I miss the function of 1x tip and 3x flashes on the turn signal that i had in previous vehicles so I try to find out how to add it!
    Can’t really find a clear answer, is it just the flasher relay or is it in the ecu?
    I would like if it’s just the relay but I can’t imagine that it is so easy like in my old vw where I was able to add interval to the wipers with only switching out the relay!?

    I know, but it wouldn’t be a bad feature so I’m wondering if there is a easy solution for that like switch out the flasher relay

    I was just talking about this the other day. There has to be be a simple fix for this..is it the relay that gives the signal to the blinkers? I was surprised that the 2020 model didn’t have this feature.

    There would have to be something in the switch, i would think.

    I'm accustomed to just holding the switch for a second and then letting it go.

    I like the idea, though.

    That’s definitely a mod I want to do. I have a 2018 Tacoma Pro and I’m so use to 1xtip for 3xflash.

    is there a chance that you got a 4runner too and I/we could convince you to take that relay and try it in the 4runner?

    there is a big chance that’s just the relay, like in a lot of vehicles, never seen it in the switch!
    I just read about Prius owners that do the trick with the relay, was a euro forum but ill stay on it

    I could see this being a feature of the flasher module, if that's what you mean.

    Relays are usually on or off.

    You might be able to get a different flasher module that would have the feature.

    Just found a guy that’s doing plug’ n play and diy solutions for Toyota.
    In case there is a plug n play solution for a fair price would be someone else interested?

    i can’t say a price right now but similar ones that he sold cost $60
    it would come from Europe so I guess with additional costs it would be a little more than that but what I seen it looks really good, the comfort module is added into the oem turn signal module housing. Looks clean it’s just a plug n play.

    On my 2006 beater car I replaced the flasher relay with a programmable model to control the flashers. It fixes hyperflash with LEDs, gives it coming home and leaving home lights, hazzard pattern, and you can adjust how many blinks it will do when you talk the turn signal. (left turn signal on and turn the ignition on reduces 1 blink, right turn signal on and turn the ignition on and it increases 1 blink).

    Super simple, just remove the old relay and plug this in where the relay went.

    The problem with the 5th gen is there is no plug and play solution like that because the circuitry is internal to the body control module.
