You can cancel this feature using I-Drive- check the car settings.

I'll have to look again to make sure I didn't miss it but I didn't see it (for when the switch is on auto). I like the auto feature in that I never have to touch the switch ever again. I'd just like the ability to turn off the turning lights. Idrive setting would be sweet, but as I said I haven't found it.

If it's manual-on only that will do this for me, I guess I'm expecting too much, again... (like that passive alarm thing :D).

Or we can look at these like suggestions that the company could change for future versions...
