amphigill Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Are there any turn signal kits that are wireless? I wanna be safe whilst driving my Buick!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS VEGAS DAVE Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have wireless tow lights that work from a transmitter plugged into the trailer light socket. I have never heard of anything for an antique car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves1940Buick56S Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 That is one helluva good idea! Let me noodle on this... Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daves1940Buick56S Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 OK, well, it's certainly doable using, say, 1 or 2 microcontrollers like Arduino and wireless modules. BUUUUT, you would still have to do wiring mods/relays/drivers in the trunk and under the hood, plus additional wiring if you want the original dash indicators to function. In the end, I think the cost would not be worth it as opposed to just running the wires. But is is a cool idea, if a way could be found to bring the cost down somehow and still save significant time on the install. Cheers, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amphigill Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 My 34 has no turn signals at all. No switch or dash wiring. I want to keep it 6 volt also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unimogjohn Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There are many wireless turn signals (rear) for bicycles. All are self contained. Do a Google search and you will find many or visit your nearby bike shop. While not perfect, they are better than nothing at all. Today's drivers no nothing of hand signals, they just wave back.

Standard Eight Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 These were on the market a few years ago http://smartsignals.com/tech/iot/ (scroll down the page to the SmartSignals section). Even though they are still listed on the vendors website it appears they initially made one or two production runs and then stopped production. I like the concept of these being self powered and these being able to be moved from vehicle to vehicle. I am trying to convince my son to build a prototype blue-tooth wireless turn signal setup controlled via a mobile app for his senior high science project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
