 Has anyone got this feature? Is there a guide to doing this and is it legal?

It's an option on VCDS. I've seen several 'super cars' with this feature, so I think it's legal. Unless someone else knows better?

If you brake hard enough it'll flash to show those behind that you are making an emergency braking. Mine does and i dont recall i have activated it with vcds.  :smiley:

Is it not the indicators that flash like hazard warning lights?

It is the hazard warning lights that flash.
Most cars have the feature but it will need coding
Newer Cars 2007+ should have it enabled
Minimum Requirements are 21 byte CECM
to enable it tick box in BYTE 17 bit 0
