Just installed SmartTap flasher relay and LED bulbs

[HRTROB]

I have the SmartTap flasher relay on my GT86 and 200 and I love it! When I found out the 100 uses the same relay, I had to get one for it as well. It prevents hyper flashing when using LED bulbs, adds one touch signalling (adjustable), has cool hazard and strobe options and on certain cars, adds arrival and departure lighting (does not work on the 100 since the factory alarm flashes the parking lights, not the hazards).

LED on the driver side, stock incandescent on the passenger side

Tail and reverse LEDs on the left, incandescent bulbs on the right

Factory flasher relay location. I chose to leave it in place and just zip tie the SmartTap in there

That’s neat. I find myself tapping the signal and expecting it to stay on in the LC since I’m used to it in my work vehicle. I didn’t know they made something like this.

You mean you left the mount in place or left the factory relay plugged in?

Thanks! I like the one-touch signaling on my other car and wouldn't mind it on my 100.

Found a video that demonstrates some of the available features....

I left the factory relay mounted to the bracket. Unplugged the connector and plugged it into the SmartTap. Nice to have the stock relay in there in case the new flasher relay dies. Just unplug and connect to the other.

@HRTROB On my 05 100 series, my factory alarm flashes using my hazards. So I think the SmartTap arrival/departure may work. I plan to order one to try it out and report back.

Fascinating. My wife's CX5 has the tap to turn deal and it's nice. I might have to try one of these...

Thanks for the idea. Did this on mine last week since I always loved it on my German cars. PITA to get to the relay, but the Smart Tap device works great. I used VHB to tape the new relay to one of the large control boxes under the dash (I think the tilt/telescope module if I remember right). Left the old relay bolted up where it was.

Ordered the DD CF18 Smart Tap relay on eBay and received this... I don't see the prominent "smart tap" sticker. Anyone confirm I was sent wrong part?

.... I'd say somebody did the 'ol switch and return.... some people do anything for a buck.

Seller immediately refunded and agreed it looked swapped. Also told me to keep it.

Have a brand new one coming from AutoZone this time. Will report back if this one doesn't fix my hyper flash also do all the other magic tricks.

Can confirm the legit Smart Tap relay fixed the hyper flash and also does all the nifty tricks (single tap lane change, wig-wag hazards, etc.)
