TapTurn is a simple plug-and-play flasher relay upgrade that adds convenience signaling. By just tapping the signal stalk you get 3 blinks in that direction, then self-cancels. Almost all new cars seem to have this feature now, but for some reason was forgotten by Subaru. TapTurn was born primarily to solve this problem of omission - every car should have convenience signaling this day and age.
TapTurn looks like a stock flasher and has the exact same connector:
Convenience signaling is really just the start of what TapTurn does. It's actually a bit crazy what fun and flexible features have been packed into this flasher... it's microprocessor controlled and really challenges the limits of what a flasher can do for your car!
Check out highlights of what TapTurn offers:
- Tap-to-signal a stream of blinks, this works seamlessly alongside other standard modes of signaling. Use what you need when you want.
- Tap-to-cancel a stream of convenience blinks if you don't want to wait for all to finish. Surprisingly many new vehicles with convenience signaling can't do this!
- User programmable convenience blinks setting from 3 (default) to 6 blinks. This change is done using just the signal stalk.. taking a few seconds to make a change while parked.
- Additional hazard flasher modes, done by using the signal stalk when the hazard switch is on, as follows:
- wig-wag alternating side to side flashing (when signal stalk is UP)
- slow-motion 4-way (when signal stalk is DOWN)
- normal 4-way (when signal stalk is not used)
- OK, there's a fourth hidden mode... ask about the Easter egg
- Programmable setting to restrict or enable use of new hazard flash modes while ignition is on, in other words, while driving. (The new modes are always available when ignition is off, while parked.)
- LED signal light bulb compatibility - any bulb in any socket works with TapTurn.
- Eliminates need for load resistors on LED signal bulbs... forget about having to use load resistors. Take 'em out if you've already put them in.
- No hyperblinking, ever! Regardless of what kind of bulbs you have anywhere on the car, you get proper speed signal blinking, guaranteed!
- Well behaved alarm / remote / lock confirmations that just work exactly like they should, guaranteed!
- No lazy, short, slow, missing or malformed blinks under any circumstances, guaranteed! You always get perfect flashes. Junk that CF18-xx flasher you bought for LEDs.
- You can temporarily disable just the convenience signaling feature of TapTurn (effectively returning to stock signal functions only). Useful if an alternate driver doesn't want the feature, but you do later. Toggle convenience signaling ON/OFF using just the signal stalk in literally a few seconds before setting off to drive.
- Finally, a software reset allows you to put TapTurn back to original as-shipped condition, if things got out of hand with program options and you want instant sanity. Doing a "three finger salute" using the hazard switch, signal stalk, and ignition key puts TapTurn back to original state.
This module installs up under the dash near the steering column, pretty easy to find and replace the stock flasher. Just turn on the hazards, listen for the clicks, feel for the vibrations, and pull that sucker out. Put TapTurn in its place and you're done in a few minutes. You don't even need to disconnect battery for this install.
