    My new F430 Spider has incredibly quiet turn signals. I must have forgotten to turn them off at least a handful of times already. I drove a couple of 360 Spiders recently and they all had much louder turn signals. Is there any way to adjust the volume for these on the F430?

    HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH
    And I thought I was running solo on this one!!!
    I like the fact I can hear the signals on my 360. When I asked about the 430 being so quiet, they told me the sound did not blend with the music from the engine.
    Oh well, so I continue to look foolish with my blinker on driving down the road!!!!
    I suppose you could locate the relay and swap it out for a louder one????

    Not blending with the engine music?! That's moronic. You don't need your turn signals on if you're listening to engine music. The turn signals are for, erh, TURNING ;).

    Anyways, glad to know it ain't just my machine that's broke.

    And I thought (until today) it was just me, myself and I.

    So true. My girl tells me all the time to turn it off???? Now that I know and am more concious of it I just leave my hand on the turn signal till the turn in complete and turn off. Still sucks though

    Is it just me? Regardless of left or right turns, the indicator on the dash blinks both sides (ala emergency blinkers). First time, I saw this on a car...

    Mine does the same. How hard could it be to make it indicate right or left?

    I actually would prefer that.. The 360 turn signal indicators sound like as my wife would put "bunch of mice sqeeking on the treadmill". Sounds like they did some tuning on the turn signal indicators! :)

    They did!! It is now quieter than a mouse (mouses)!!!
    But now I need to pay more attention to it being in the off position (hard for me to move that finger)

    My wife hears them. I suspect that they are quieter, but not if you don't have a little hearing loss.
