Unless you're on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck to take it to the dealer because the engine just randomly imploded... (happened to my Escape with NO tune...)

And I'm almost certain there's a "last flash date" tag in the computer. . .

Just wait for the FRPP tune and have your dealer install it. Problem solved

Too bad it wasn't a system you could config from the setup menu.

This is a better option.

One man's cheesy is another man's cool. I love the sequential turn signals. When I see a 2010-11 Mustang ahead of me in traffic I try to get behind it in hopes of seeing them turn on. For the record, I also love MyColor, and a variety of cheeses.

I've been changing my colors every few days. I set one of the 3 custom colors to yellow, since yellow isn't in the standard color set (IIRC I think the values I set are R:5,G:5,B:1). As for the other 2 custom colors, 1 is set to a color my wife chose, and the other I haven't decided what to do with it yet.

Thanks for giving me the code for yellow! Now I can have my Lakers color gauges for the season starts again

The fact you called it seafoam makes me question your man card.

Really? Seafoam disturbs you more than pink?

Also make sure you yank out that hi-tech 5.0 and put in the Vanilla Ice version 5.0.

Reagrding those sequential flashers, here in Europe for example cars require amber/yellow blinkers for turn indicators. As a rare American car at any given time on the highway, red sequential blinkers can be a bit confusing. When moving at 100 mph and changing lanes, usually one blink left and one blink right to pass a car. Not enough time to play musical lights. Last second lane change, blinky blinky blinky (other driver: ohh...he wants to change lanes. Now I get it. Too late!!!). It should be a preference to disable. When a crash or hazard occurs, we activate 4 way flashers. You can see all orange/yellow lights blinking from very far away and it really gets your attention. Add those red flashers and it is really out of place even if non-sequential flashing.

I would rather our LEDs to look like LEDs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQA8clp1asU

Yea, I was trying to work out the "reasonable" side of wanting to ditch the sequential turn signals. Something about having a 100% chance to have 1/3 the number of lights lit up when changing lanes. And I thought there was a small chance of someone not seeing the light at all as it's in transition to the next light, but I don't think the light works that way.
