I am unable to hear the turn signal when the climate control is on high and the same is true if the radio is on. Both my dealer and GM HQ state the volume cannot be increased. In the past I installed light just above the windshield, but at my age that is not possible.

Does anyone have any kind of solution for making certain I do not leave my turn signal on?

Thanks a bunch for any advice! Uncle Dewey

i might sound like an a$$ but just look at the little light on the gauge display, thats why its there. you should be looking at that every 20 seconds or so anyhow to make sure youre going the right speed. ive never heard of anything you can do to increase the sound level so you and the rest of us with quiet blinkers are sol unfortunately.

Nothing that I know of can fix that, sorry.

I'm sorry that no one has a solution. Checking the dashboard can be difficult as I am dealing with remembering to do so, it is also difficult to see the dashboard if facing the sun or wearing sunglasses. The reason I'm concerned is that I nearly broadsided someone several years ago. I had made a 45 degree turn so my flasher was still on. As I approached an intersection a vehicle beyond the intersection thought I was going to turn so he started to cross the road to the other side and I was able to stop within inches of hitting his vehicle.

I'll keep searching. Thanks for your interest. Uncle Dewey

get a new head unit with a more powerful internal amp or use an exterior amp. my turn signal noise was lost when i got my new head unit but they make an add on it keep it with a volume switch. i got the add on for the seat belts and all other warnings and it has a volume switch on it and it can make the door beeps so loud, or you could mute it like i did.. hope this helps a little

Hey KTrace,

I'm a bit slow. What is a head unit?

Tx, Uncle Dewey

The radio.

Hmmm. Mine has is a Bose unit. Guess I'd have to know if the radio has a seperate amplifier for the turn signal and if so, how could I tap into it with a more powerful amplifier.

Probably beyond my ability. Thanks for your interest. Uncle Dewey

Some late '09s have it too.

But his being a '08 has the Monsoon based premium audio, not Bose.

Hi Guys,

How embarrasing! I wonder if the salesman told me I had a Bose system? The window sticker says: "AM/FM Stereo W/ 6-Disc CD Changer Premium Audo System" and there are no Bose indications on the car itself. Now I still wonder if I could change the amplifier for the turn indicator chime so I could hear the signal when the radio or climate control are on? Is there a way that I can determine who the manufacture is and even model number.

Thanks for your patience. Uncle Dewey

Your premium audio is made by Monsoon, and except for the speakers, is the exact same for the most part as the Bose.
