The other issue is whilst the brake light is on it can 'drown out' the indicator if you are waiting to turn...............

very much so, its a pain that on the mk5, the rear indicators are shocking!

It's an excellent feature as it really draws you attention to the car in front. The flashing brake lights on the Merc should be law IMHO as it really alerts you to the fact that its an emergency stop, particularly on the motorway at high speed.

Is this a feature than can be switched on using VAGCOM or does it require an update to control module too (hence why it's on newer models?) as I would be keen to enable something like this - along with the fog lights acting as turning lights - but thats a different can of worms.

I think they can be turned on in vagcom as our friendly cruise-control fitter, VRStu, activated mine when he put in my cruise. 

Have to say though, that I'm not too sure whether it works as I haven't had the need to brake that hard.
