I think they blend in with the brake light and slowing down for a turn.
Doesn't sound silly at all, to me. I think going to amber for rear turn signals was one of the better safety changes made in the late 20th century. If the signal is amber, it not only stands out from the rest of the rear lights, it also lets you know it's not a short circuit. (-:

I know it turns on when you have your right turn signal on but what happens if you're at a red light waiting to turn? Can you not access your audio system or whatever else the touch screen controls if you have your turn signal going?

IMO, having all that stuff turning on and off on the screen would be aggravating and distracting.
It isn't neither is a larger iPhone, so don't let your assumptions stop you from having better things. The GK is superior, the screen and all it's wonderful happenings are just that

You can always click the end of the turn signal stalk to turn off lane watch while your in queue to make your right turn.

Your steering wheel buttons still work too.

You can also go into the Settings menu under Camera, and have the lane watch camera stay off with the directional on. Then it will only go on when you push the button located at the tip of the directional lever.

The lane change camera saved my bacon in Miami last week. Flipped the indicator on and saw the BMW I absolutely had not seen. I was straightened out before his horn went silent. I would not do without it.

I like using the Lanewatch when I'm on the interstate mainline and passing an entrance ramp. Even though I turn and look at the ramp for any cars, I'll turn it on to double check that I didn't miss something.

I know some members have posted about the recommended mirror position, which covers the blind spots but you can't see your own vehicle in the mirrors anymore. I turned the mirrors out, but I didn't like that the lower inner corners stick out of the housing, so I put them back in the "traditional" angles. I'm so used to looking to the left anyway, plus the oblique mirror is there. But also with the Lanewatch for the right side, it seems like the mirrors are designed for the "traditional" positions.
