Please don't take this wrong way (just trying to be helpful !!) but most driving instructors and literature advise :

"Mirror - Signal - Manoeuvre", in that order. That should solve your problem

No it isnt.

The process is - Rear View Mirror, Door Mirror (Left or Right), Signal, Rear View Mirror, Door Mirror, Manouvre, Rear view Mirror on completion. 5 Mirror checks for left / right turns.

We dont have wing mirrors any more unless you have a very old car.

An alternative to Mirror Signal Manoeuvrer is Can My Safety Be Given Away

Course: look ahead for a safe and legal path and an appropriate speed
Mirrors: look behind and in your blind spots to understand where other road users are around you, including pedestrians
Signal: signal for at least three seconds if you are going to change your position (changing lanes, stopping, turning into another road)
Brakes: slow down so that you can give way if required
Gears: change gear if necessary so you can accelerate if required
When it’s safe:
Accelerate: match your speed to that of the traffic, or if you are overtaking, to an appropriate speed to complete the manoeuvre.

This was drilled into me 33 years ago

Does anyone else find the indicator lights that wrap around the outside edge of the mirrors a distraction?.
I do, especially at night on unlit multi lane roads. Moving from the outside lane to the nearside lane, indicating, looking across to make sure the nearside lane is as clear as I thought it was, only to see a bright indicator light and nothing else because it's dark remember. Just for a split second I think I'm about to pull into something I hadn't noticed. Not so bad on the offside but nearside gets me everytime.
Tippex, duct tape ...?

That doesn't worry me at all. What does worry me is when the 360 camera kicks in - it seems to be random, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. And it's pretty useless anyway, as I always like to look in the door mirror for the biker coming up beside me (who would be a **** for doing that when I'm indicating!).

But the worst thing about it is that if I'm using my Google Maps on my phone for navigating, a junction is often when I need it, and just at the moment, it disappears and often, CarPlay then completely disappears <double >, and I have to unplug the phone and re-connect CarPlay.

You do know you can switch it off to stop it coming on for junctions?
