Fitted the 9XX dash speaker kit. Vast improvement in sound but pricey for what it is. Took 20 minutes all in and everything fitted perfectly so cost/convenience ratio is good.

This is an aftermarket jobbie but not cheap at about $60 to UK plus any taxes/VAT/Duties
This was on Wikipedia for a BMW but assume similar in principle to the idea put up by @mk1max

My audible relay is just the job for me, loud enough to hear but not OTT and easily removed if it goes wonky (Chinese quality being the lottery it is and all that) and cost less than £5 ?

Wow, a relay expert (?). Can I jump in with a question?
On my Boxster, a quick dip of the flasher stalk makes it flash three times - perfect for indicating a gentle turn (clicking the stalk would then mean unclicking after as the turn isn't enough to self-cancel).
On my Toyota family car, a quick dip of the stalk means only one flash, short enough for most other drivers to miss.
Any idea how to introduce the former function to the latter? I assume it's "buy a different relay", I just wouldn't know where to start... Advice would be kind!
LOL! Far from a relay expert, just some knowledge (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing-? Not sure who I'm paraphrasing but they were probably right) and reading I'm afraid.
The relay simply handles load.
The 'motorway' lane change function is usually controlled via coding in the ecu nowadays rather than the relay itself, but I stand to be corrected.
Even on my old Mk4 Golf you could code it in with VCDS
If easily accessible you could pull your Boxster relay and check the printed markings to see if it contains any magic?
Sorry I can't be any real help on this one............

I need to do this, the number of times I overtake and then leave the flasher on?. Have you got a link to the new relay?
These are the items i used. I just removed the wires not needed, the spades are held in with a small tang that you can flatten out to get the wired spade connector out. Fit 6mm male blade crimp connectors on the remaining three wire ends and make sure the earth and switch supply- E and B poles are slotted into the correct holes i.e. the standard relay (CF14 has the E and B poles on opposite sides) in the relay board.
Obviously if you can find an audible relay in CF14 layout its a simple plug and play swap I had this one spare for use on my bike
You can see on the pictures below both CF13 and CF14 relays with pin layouts. The audible relay in the link below is CF13 hence the need to swap the wires over.
If the relay has numbered poles it works as follows
L = 49a
B = 49
E = 31

Fitted an indicator relay with audible 'beep' as I kept leaving the indicators on as I couldn't hear it working or properly see the dash tell tale due to driving position and bright light.
Required a small wiring correction using a wired relay socket as the new relay was a CF13 and standard is CF14. Needs the earth and switch feeds swapping over.
Total cost £4.98
Hopefully fewer cars pulling out on me or flashing me from now on ?
