Indicator (Lane Change) Signal Duration

Does anyone know what setting controls the duration of the indicator (lane change) signal (before it clicks). I searched through several cheats and even CAF files but haven't found it.
Any help appreciated

Not quite sure what you mean by "before it clicks". If you mean single turn signal vs triple turn signal setting, that is under Settings>Lighting. This controls how many times the signal will flash when you tap the lever (without engaging it).

One more question: Can it be "coded" to flash more than 3 times?

yes,

FEMBODY > 3060 > Blinkzyklen_anzahl_tipp

Edit werte value on the number of clicks you want then minus 1, i.e. if you want 3 click, set werte value as 02, you want 10 click, set werte value as 09

Don't you also have to change FEM_BODY > 3064 > PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN from Einfachblinken to Mehrfachblinken?

I've always changed both setting to change the number of blinks.

Nope didn't change the second one, PIA_DEFAULT_TIPPBLINKEN is to alter the flashing behaviour, i believe one is 'normal' while the other one has a more rapid flash (not sure which is which actually)... so I kept mine default to Einfachblinken

I never noticed a difference in flashing speed.

Einfach is simple/plain and Mehrfach is multiple/repeated (according to Google translate), so I don't think the setting has anything to do with the speed of the flashing.

I'll restore this value on my car and see if I notice any difference.

Thanks!

I have the same understanding using google translate as well, so I didn't bother to change it since the objective was just to change the number of flash

Hello, Did you finally restore that value? Do you know now if it's necessary to change it to mehrfach for changing the number of blinks to work?
Thanks

Iirc, in later years cars or if you had your istep updated, this coding was eliminated from what several stated.

Starting in 2017 this coding does not work, I suppose it *may* be possible to flash your FEM_BODY to an earlier firmware version but it has so many dependencies it does not seem likely to work.

I just did it a few weeks ago on my 2015. It's a common enough change that Bimmercode has it in the main FEM coding menu without having to go to expert mode.

That's partly true. The problem is that BMW has at some time disabled the option (at least for more than 3 flashes) while leaving the parameter in the system. My 2014 F30 was OK set to 4 flashes until I had the whole car reprogrammed, then it wouldn't work. The I-Step change was F020-14-03-503 => F020-19-03-530

I haven't had my car at the dealer since the end of my second year of ownership, partly because I didn't want to drive an hour and a half to get a $40 oil change, partly because I'd seen reports that they might 'upgrade' my software, wiping out all my coding, even eliminating some coding options. My I-Step isn't broken, so I'm not going to fix it.

I did it as well on my early 2105 (sept ‘14 build date)
Went in expecting it not to work, but from what I can tell mine has NEVER been updated on software Since it was made.
