Has anyone found an OEM retrofit for one touch lane change blinkers?

    DRL delete
    The new trucks have them. I've seen the write up for the Kahtec units. I'm hoping it's as easy as swapping the turn signal module out. I've already swapped mine to eliminate DRLs so I can idle without advertising or sit in the dark waiting for my son without lighting up the next parent in front of me.
    Ideally there is an OEM toyota module that allows both DRL delete and one touch turn signals.

    Not that I can help you with your turn signal question but on my wife's '13 Rav4 turning off the DRL was just a matter of using TechStream to go into the computer and turning it off. I also turned off the stupid chime for the seatbelt (our driveway is almost a mile long and the mailbox is at the bottom). So getting out to get the mail then listening to it chime as I drove up was annoying. I also set the one touch turn signals to flash 7 times instead of the 3 it was set for. Can you not change them with the Tundra? I get that if it doesn't have the one touch option you can't change it.

    I was working on trying to set up touchstream on my laptop but never got it working. I think I bought the wrong cable. At any rate, as far as I know I cant disable the DRLs or add lane change blinkers with it but I can change the seat belt chime.

    The CF18 does not work,l at least on my Sequoia it doesn't. The Sequoia has an 18 pin flasher relay and the CF18 is for an 8 pin flasher relay. One of the reasons why everyone use resistors when changing to led turn signals instead on buying flasher relays for LED lights. On my Sequoia, I can turn off DRL by using the signal stalk and turn all lights off.

    Really?
    Dang, i was thinking those smarttap would work. Was considering getting it. I guess i won't now. I too have a sequoia (2018).
    I just left the drl as it is and throw in the switchback bulb. I also did the anytime fog mod, so there is no discreet at anytime.

    This is what the OE flasher relay looks like. I think the 2018 uses the same one or similar, as I was looking to see if the newer Sequoias use LED turn signals and if the flasher relay would be different but it was not so I just continued using the dinosaur turn signals.

    I may send Diode Dynamic an email.
    Would you allow me to use your photos? I want to see what they say. Their compatibility list does includes our car. But if the pins does not match then i dont see how it would work.

    Just an FYI, if you set the parking brake before starting or cycle the starting process it will turn off the DRLs. Of course, once you release the brake they will come back on.

    Yes, go ahead. Amazon sells the same thing. Search for smarttap (I think) and there's a review saying it doesn't work on the 2nd gen Sequoias but Amazon description says it does.

    I have seen that b4. But went the resistors in the rear for the led turn signal. Only ran 2 resistors in the back. No need for the front.

    I received a respond email from Diode Dynamic. Here is what they say.

    Hello Brandon,

    This SmartTap will not work your 18 Sequoia. As you mentioned the pin difference cannot be compensated for or modified so your vehicle would not be compatible with the SmartTap module or any CF18 style relay in general. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
