    Those of us who are 6 feet or taller are well aware that the blinkers are completely obscured by the long tach tunnel and the steering wheel which obscures the top of the dashboard. In an effort to not be the annoying inatentive driver who has forgotten to turn off his blinker, I pose a solution.

    What would people think of an option in the steering wheel LED menu to have the left or right most steering wheel LED blink in synchrony with the respective blinker? This would be an easy programming patch that would negate having to redesign the dashboard. This option could be mutually exclusive from the tach LED option used for more spirited driving.

    And while we're at it, lets go one step further. What would people think of having an option of the left and right most steering wheel LED be blind spot indicators, if you could option out the side mirrors to contain the appropraite sensors? The blind spot indicators on my other cars have saved my bacon a number of times.

    Good idea. Nevertheless, the last thing I want to do is give Ferrari another idea for an option!
    I say make it standard.

    I am only 5'10" and it is obscured because I sit far back from the wheel, years of training and habit. The people who worry about ergonomics could have done better in this case, but your idea is a good one.
