no it is three blinks and that is it. You need to hit it twice for an extension. I think three blinks is enough for a lane change, not enough when approaching a corner through.

If there's a module that does this then maybe getting a module from another Honda will do the trick, but it's just not the sort of thing I would od. Might just have to keep it a habit of re-engaging the signal. It sucks but its the easiest way to go about this.

three blinks is the industry standard for a few years now, all of my newer vehicles do that same amount - Jeep, Ford, Honda, etc. I don't know if changing a module would do it but I don't know of any manufacturer that uses anything different than 3 blinks.

I know for Lexus/Toyota, someone makes a flasher relay that enables you to change the settings. Also gives you strobe patterns and parking delay lighting as well. Haven't seen anything for Hondas yet so I'm guessing everyones stuck with the 3 blinks. 3 blinks does seem sufficient for lane changes though, and I think that was the default on the relay as well.

My 2016 Toyota Tacoma came standard with the 3 flash setting, but you could easily change it to less or more. All you need was an iOBD2 module to plug in under the dash and the Carista application to run on your iphone/Android. You could simply make any custom changes. I haven't yet used it on my 2017 Civic EX-T

for you people who think 3 flashes is enough for a lane change, you must not signal until you are starting to move over or you move over pretty quickly. I know in a lot of bimmers theres an app you can get on your phone (or setup your laptop to do it) to change a BUNCH of settings and one of them I had a friend do for me was change it to 5 blinks. I wonder if hondas body control modules or whatever controls these things can be flashed the same just nobody develops it because there isn't the demand?

Its a two way problem. It's more annoying to me when I accidentally hit the stalk and DON'T want the signal on. I think more than 3 blinks and I'd be even more annoyed.

This is my first post. Forgive me if something is badly wrong!
Edit: Worked out OK! You'll probably hear lots more from me. I am full of opinions and questions!

I totally agree! I like the 3 blinks, it's handy. But I am always hitting the stalk, then for one reason or another, wishing I didn't. When this happens, there is NO WAY OUT! Why can't those software weenies just immediately cancel the signal when the stalk has been "clicked", then returned to the off position? Actually, I'd rather have an option to not have any "touch" at all (old school) than the way it is now. Then you could have as many blinks as you want.

In general, I hate these damned cars deciding what I want to do. (Do the people writing the software ever DRIVE the cars?)
