I am the same way. The only reason I went with an auto cancelling module is that I wanted to incorporate steering wheel mounted buttons and the ones I liked were only available in a momentary design. This meant that I couldn't use a regular turn signal flasher and I was unsuccessful finding anything affordable and non-bulky that would convert the momentary action into a latching-type signal. Yes, the dash is padded, but I am about to redo it and will probably lose the padding (car is a Westfield BTW which is why the dash looks a bit different) -John

The unit will also cancel on demand by simply repushing the button, which is how I tend to use it. I find that I typically cancel it within 10-15 seconds, but it isn't uncommon for the 15 second clock to time out while I am still completing a turn, so I think even 20 seconds would be fine. -John

I also have switches mounted on my steering wheel, but I am using >the Cadent Technologies turn signal module. It auto cancels after 15 seconds, but the countdown clock will reset itself whenever you apply and then release the brakes. This is a very useful feature when stuck at a busy intersection. It also has an option to rapidly flash your brake lights three times upon initial application. I am runnning my roll bar mounted third brake light to that circuit and it really seems to get the attention of the latte drinking, cell phone using SUV drivers here in Seattle. http://home.comcast.net/~cobar/images/dash.jpg -John
