Rather than ask the dealer to reset the time-base interval I simply hit the turn signal now much earlier which gives folks behind you and in front you more of an advanced warning of your impending turn, which isn't a bad idea IMO, especially w/ the smaller turn signal lights we have to work with. In doing so, it self-cancels earlier after the turn, in fact just about right once you figure out hitting the signal earlier. Just a thought.
An interesting idea/concept with one (potentially) fatal flaw: If there are multiple side roads then someone might interpret you are going to turn earlier than you actually are and pull out in front of you! There have been many an occasion where I'm waiting to exit a side street onto the main road and an approaching car has it's directional on to turn into my street but I wait and sure as heck they turn into the one after me! Or worse they continue to just drive down the road for several miles with the directional still on!
At this point I've already successfully 'programmed' myself to cancel them manually before shifting to the next gear. I've reverted to the years I had to do this so long ago and it's already become automatic. Like riding a bike, pun intended.
