So excited for this. Thank you for your work! About how long is the turn around would you say? I'd plan to use this along with the Rogue NA-Tune.

Yeah I am suggesting it might be a cool product, if there is demand. I do not manufacture products.

I'd buy one

I always thought that stuff was pretty gimmicky myself. I had a 2016 A3 while I gave the dealer my 'old' 2000 TT to do some work on and I couldn't stand that car with all of it dumb trinkets. I left it in the driveway and drove my '88 Jeep Cherokee instead.

Make it compatible with LEDs and I'd be all over it.

You guys may want it, but I don't see the point of the "3 blink" thing.
Is it just for signaling before you move the lane?
Not enough time to signal, look in the next lane, then move the car fully to the next lane in 3 blinks.

Unless your local drivers are all very observant and polite?
Here in CA you need to have your blinker on for probably 5-10 seconds before even moving lanes...and keep it on until you are all the way into the next lane, then you can shut it off. Otherwise people will swerve around in your way etc

CO951

If I want someone to open up a spot to let me in I have to do that, but most of the time I find a spot and the signal is just to say here I come. I also use a few exits that one lane is not exit only, so like the quick flash to let 'em know I'm exiting and not going straight. To me working properly with LEDs would be worth more than the 3 blink, but I'd like that too.

Jay Wellwood

The 3 blink option is nice - a sign of more modern engineering if you will.

V2Rocket

Have driven ~400 miles this week and have been paying attention to blinks while changing lanes...lol

Average number of blinks to make a safe lane change has been 10.
Look around, signal, look again, move into next lane, and shut off blinker.

CO951

That's how I learned to drive, but there have been too many times I tried to do that and instead of making the gap a little bigger they would close it up, so I could no longer change lanes. People are in such a hurry they won't let anyone in, not caring that worst case it only costs them a few seconds. Only time I use a sustained blinker to change lanes is when there is no spot I can safely get into and I need someone to open up.

To me the proposed relay just makes it so there is a minimum of 3 blinks, and I think if your are going to give any signal, it should be at least 3. Not something I'd pay a lot for, but nice feature. The LED compatibility would be worth more to me.

So with a solid state blinker relay would you loose the clicking sound that tells you the blinker is on, or is there something else that makes that sound?

V2Rocket

Don't know how it is in CO but in CA you are legally required to use blinker to change lanes and it needs to be very obvious in case any LEOs are nearby.

You can get pulled over for not using your blinker "obviously enough"...

CO951

I'm sure the laws are about the same here. I do use my blinker, but only about a second before I make the move. I agree it shouldn't be that way, but I adapt to the conditions. Had too many people speed up to close the gap when I gave a longer signal.

Anyway, back on topic. There are some people who would like a 3 blink, LED compatible, solid state relay and some that wouldn't.

Joe, is there any chance your DME will work on a '89 944 with the 2.7L engine?

And is there anything different you do to the DME if it's going to be used with the Rogue Tuning NA-Tune MAF kit?

Thanks for your support in keeping the 944 alive with your updates.

Keep up the good work...

Ftech9

IIRC, the 2.7L has an 8-valve engine which uses basically the same DME as the 2.5L 8-valve engine. Should be no problem, I would just need to use the chip out of your DME.

All of my DMEs support Rogue Turning products out of the box without modification.

AgLiftPilot

Can't wait to get my new 944Spec legal FTech 9 DME in my race car that I won at the NASA Eastern States Championships! Will be nice to know I dont have to worry about 30 year old solders going cold or breaking in my OEM DME since we do so much bouncing off curbs and running hard when racing.
