@utmeep does it flash every time or does it wait a few minutes before flashing again?

It all depends on the module you install. Mine flashes then goes steady until you release the brake and step on it again.

Sorry. Can't help you other than what I've already provided. I've actually removed mine as I drive in a lot of traffic at night and drivers were flashing me from behind.
