Hello everyone, I've seen a few posts about this, but none seem to have a fix, so I'm asking this again, hoping that someone has managed to find a fix for this.

The issue is very simple: when the turning signals are on, the volume of the indicator is pretty much inaudible, especially if the car is on, or if there is even some mild noise around you, especially with the windows open. The signals themselves work fine, as do the lights in the dashboard; it's purely the noise that is very low. I have trouble hearing it even when the car is off and the windows are down, even in the driver's seat. In the passenger seat, it's essentially impossible to hear in any situation.

This happens regardless of the "signal indicator mode" I use, that is, whether it's normal indicators, hazards, or the 3x blinking mode when nudging the stalk.
Already tried changing all of the "Volume" options in the Menu of the car. Buzzer volume and Button Volume do nothing for the sound of the signal indicators.

As far as I understand, the Bravo 2 doesn't have a physical relay; it's an electronic one, so I don't know exactly how one would go about fixing it.

I also don't see a lot of people talking about it. Is this not an issue for everyone? Or is it something that people just simply don't care that much about? It's annoying not to hear the sounds in any situation that is not pretty much complete silence.

Mine was the same. Im sure you could get a12v bleeper/ buzzer and wire from flasher unit to earth. Im not sure they still fit flasher units. OR wire from an indicator
LIGHT SUPPLY through an in line fuse through buzzer to earth. Lots of work for your trouble. A reversing system buzzer would do the job.

Oh I see, at least it doesn't seem like I'm the crazy one, and the car does seem to have quiet indicators. I probably won't try to "fix it" if it involves a lot of work, especially since I don't have much experience. I'd rather live with the quiet indicator, it's not a big problem anyway. Thank you!
 
Panda Nut give you the solution. Doesnt seem a too complicated job. I guess inserting a mechanical relay from older cars in the indicators circuit should do the job.
I have a long list of pending tasks on the Bravo but I will add it and let you know the moment I got my hands on it. Although you might need to wait till my summer vacations.

Yeah, I'm going to do that. Already have the relay, however, I can't seem to find where to connect it. Trying to understand the eLearn isn't working either ahhaha. I managed to find the wiring diagram for the instrument panel, but I can't really find what the correct pins are for the left/right arrow lights. Best guess is pins 13 and 16, but I'm not entirely sure that I'm interpreting this correctly. Do you know how I can find it? eLearn seems so cryptic :(
 
My understanding is:
- this is the electrical diagram showing indicators herr.
- lets use side blinkers for example F020 and F021.
- you could use two (or just 1 and two diodes) 12V low consumption buzzers in between pins A5/earth and B28/earth. (or use the louder relay)
- find location of body computer connectors A and B here
- find the proper wires here
- use wire tap or quick splice connectors
