When you park the car, get out, and hit lock on the remote ... you get the remote confirmation flashes and then all signal bulbs (all four corners of the car, and dashboard indicators) light up solid, for about a minute.
Helps you walk around the car in the dark, as you get to a door or whatever.
Same goes for unlocking using the remote. Unlock a parked car, you get the confirmation flashes then all bulbs on for a minute, as you make your way to the car. They stay on until the minute times out, or you turn IGN key to "on" position, or you touch the signal stalk, or press the hazard button... All these things kill the timer early.
There's no darkness sensor added, it will do this day or night. But I find it's useful even during the day. Sometimes confirmation flashes happen when you're not looking or can't see them.. but the arrival / departure lights stay on for a minute which gives you a longer chance to view that the car got the remote locking command, coming or going.
You can decrease the minute down to about 24 seconds, then any more decrease will shut off the feature (for both locking and unlocking).
You can increase the timer up to ... lessee... about 25 minutes (bumping up in 12 second increments). That should be enough time for anybody staggering to their house a chance to find the door.
You can do a factory reset on TapTurn easily, which puts this timer back to a minute no matter where you last left it.
