Can't hear turn signal!
I drive with the top down all the time. And occasionally I'll make one of those turns at a corner that doesn't bend 90 degrees. And sometimes I CAN'T HEAR THE SIGNAL relay clicking! So, you know, I'm driving down the road oblivious to my infinite turn -- It's embarrasing! Any ideas for me?

That is a very insightful suggestion Built2shredZ. I forgot however to mention that while having the top down, it is also often impossible to see the indicators during the day (I live in AZ where the sun is always shining very intensely )
So, is there any way to easily add some kind of audible enhancement? Is there such a thing?

You're kidding of course! I mean, if cancelling the signal manually every time were any kind of solution, I might as well just get into the habit of using hand signals! (my goal is to enhance the technology already there, rather than give in to its shortcomings). Any actual ideas?

Buy a nice set of white gloves.

I recommend you take it in if the technology is not working in your car. Maybe it’s a faulty signal stalk because mine cuts off with no problems.

I usually have my music up too loud to hear it anyway. I just got in the habit of glancing down. It's an easy habit to get into and takes hardly any time at all.

However, I think I may have found a solution! I hope I can find one of these that will fit the Z:
