Recently purchased one from a member of this group and finally got around to installing it on my 400. I tend to forget to cancel the signals so I wanted some fool proof help.
It works just as advertised: totally automatic canceling, with the added feature of having the signal lights act as running lights. I set my for 10 flashes which is perfect for my use. If you put the brakes on, like sitting at a light waiting for a turn, it suspends the cancellation and the signals continue flashing as long as the brakes are on. And just as you do now, if you want to cancel before they automatically stop, just punch the button in.
Installation was not difficult, but it did require locating and attaching 6 wires from the signal box to six different wires in the harness. On the 400 they are out front, requiring the removal of the black plate beneath the windshield and the plastic section with the headlight attached to it. Just a bunch of screws and pop-outs...not especially hard to do. Once these two parts are off the wire harness is adequately exposed. The kit came with some snap-on gadgets for splicing the wires but I found them inadequate and chose to solder instead. The only glitch was the ground wire I chose on the harness was not adequate, but upon searching around I found a larger heavier ground and after attaching to that everything worked well.
