Installing a DIY Car Blind Spot Monitoring system BSM 24 Ghz 

Thank you man, I really appreciate that :)

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate that

Thank you so much, I'm happy it was helpful to you 🙂

Thanks man, yeh that's the look I wanted to go for

Thank you. You should definitely install it, the end result is worth it

@anhl94 Thanks. Before making your purchase be sure to check out this 79Ghz BSM system which is even easier to install ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Dped4px7U8.htmlsi=X4e2bzhkidBNDjNh

hi, no i have never had it detect tunnels etc. It's been great, one of the best things I have ever bought and I can't recommend it highly enough, I absolutely love it

Thank you so much. Yes the instructions it comes with tells you everything about how to Install the radar sensors. As for mounting the blinking lights in the mirrors, im pretty sure there not waterproof so probably not the best idea but you can buy blinking lights that are designed for the mirrors to do exactly what you want so that would be the best option. The blinking lights supplied in the kit are quite bright though if that was your concern, all the best

@@SHORTwithTECH Thanks for the prompt reply, will definitely try it out!

@dugix2292 your welcome, have a great day 😀

Thank you for your comment and question and the answer is no. This BSM system only detects cars in your blind spot approaching you from the rear of your car. If it detects cars when your passing them then you definitely have the radar sensors mounted incorrectly. Hope that answers your question.

Hello, thank you for your kind comments, The right and left turn wires I personally connected at the Body Control Module but you can also connect them at the turn signal wires at the rear lights themselves or at the turn signal switch by the steering wheel. The other wires are just Power, Ignition and Ground which are straight forward but again I personally connected them at the Body Control Module as I wanted to do all the wiring connections at one point. For those who are not to confident doing wiring I would recommend everything be done at the rear of the car which will make the job easier to do. Hope that answers your questions 🙂

@adelmogalo yes, there are no cables that need to be cut, just connect the BSM cables to the cars exsisting cables. The mirrors need provision for the lights to be added else you need to buy replacement lenses with the light indicators built into them

Sorry I'm unable to help with that as no experience working with the F Pace

Hello, I have not tried doing that but the plugs are very commonly used plugs. If the plugs were not compatible it wouldn't really matter because you could just cut them off to suit anyway. Hope that helps

If I understand your question correctly, no it cannot, but you could install this BSM kit in the rear of your vehicle for rear detection and then install this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TI0HlQrmVLo.htmlsi=rtz6ZuG6QqBHaSNG into the front of your vehicle for front detection. Or have I not understood your question correctly?

It's not designed for that no. Some of the 77Ghz systems can be used for that which I will be reviewing in the future but the best solution to your question is a system like this which is designed for exactly that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gp1HYtZ8wsc.htmlsi=GwwFLpXz20HX_U0S

Oh thats amazing, cant wait for the video! Is this one the 24ghz or 77ghz, it didn't say on the box. I saw online rear cross traffic alert did work on some diy system. If you have time could you please test reversing out of a supermarket parking bay and see if the light flashes, if a car or person walks by - with or without using indicators. Thank you!

@dval2437 This one is the 24zghz system, the 77Ghz systems are about 3 times the price. Yes your right, sometimes when reversing out of a car park the notification lights will flash but it's important to remember that the sensors are mounted slightly outwards to detect blindspot areas so if there is someone walking directly in the middle of your car they won't be detected. I plan to do a 77Ghz install on my new car in the next few weeks for the channel. I still highly recommend this 24Ghz system though as a BSM, it is awesome but the 77Ghz system is supposed to be better so we will find out in a few weeks just how much better it really is

@SHORTwithTECH Perfect thank you! What's making you upgrade to 77ghz? Seems like the 24ghz is very capable

@dval2437 Nah I'm not upgrading. I have just bought a new car and it doesn't have a BSM.Your right, the 24Ghz system works perfectly fine but car manufacturers have now changed to using 77Ghz systems from the factory so I need to keep up with the technology for myself and the channel

Thanks

No, there is no programming required. You can just install the BSM system to your car, it just works as a standalone system

For that reason also, I mounted the notification lamps sideways, so there not pointing directly at my eyes and its definitely not distracting at night. If it's dark and someone is in your blindspot, you definitely won't miss them

Critical thinker eh, I like it. Thank you for the feedback. @@SHORTwithTECH

@BROWNJAPAN your welcome, have an awesome week 🙂

Thanks, appreciate it. Technically the newer the vehicle the better as most newer vehicles these days have big rear plastic bumpers making the sensor mounting easier. It's impossible to be not compatible and also impossible to damage anything because this system does not need to connect to any control unit at all (i only connected it to the BCM out of choice). There's only 5 wires, power, gnd, Ignition and turn indicator lights which can all be connected at the rear of the car if you want to so it doesn't connect to anything that could be damaged. It's very easy to hook up. What kind of car are you installing it on?

@@SHORTwithTECH That's correct! Thank you for your quick reply! As for the "damage" they said, this might happen because of the wired connection to the lights, not from the power it takes from the car to operate. The "theory" is that the control unit will detect that connection as a fault or as a strange part not within the car . Anyway, I have purchased the exactly product you are mentioning from ali express and I'm placing it today to a new Toyota Yaris cross. Hope it will go well as in you video without any surprises or anything else. Wish me luck!😁🤞🤞🤞

@NickosC1 I understand exactly what you mean with the wired connections interfering with the lights, that's a common complaint but very easy to get around for a professional installer (when its required). Good luck with the installation, that should be really straight forward on a 2023 Yaris, you won't regret installing it, they are worth all the hard work

Unfortunately it doesn't work properly. Only one sensor is blinking, the other one does not have a light. There is a beeper sound though but I cannot understand what the radar catches and from which side. I will go back to the professional installer to check the wiring again. But if there is a damaged radar or a bad sensor it's a pity for all the work it's been done😢

@NickosC1 Sorry to hear that however the sensors are on plugs so replacing a faulty sensor is easy plus its just an LED so could be repaired easily aswell and the radars are also on plugs to but there's obviously a bit more work involved to replace that but from what you explain that doesn't sound like a faulty radar, it sounds like something very simple such as a bad or damaged connection. There's lots of things you could try to fix this yourself but if it was installed by a professional installer then yeh its best to take it back to that place and ask them to fix it for you. I wouldn't worry about it, it sounds like a simple fix and not faulty product hardware. Good Luck!

@jumperpence Thanks, glad you found the video useful. Yes all the cables are pretty long, it should be more then long enough for the Transit, best of luck with the Installation 👍

Thank you. Yeh they really are as good as they look.

Thank you :)

No it won't detect cars any further then the lane next to you (on both sides of you course). That has never been a problem ever for me. Are you having that problem? If yes then my guess is because you have the radar sensors aligned incorrectly on the inside of your bumper. Sensor alignment is incredibly important for this system to function correctly and when setup correctly this system will work flawlessly and it has been for me for months now

@@SHORTwithTECH Thanks for the info. I haven't installed it yet. Just wondering.

@drrobotsir Your welcome. This BSM system is designed to detect short distance objects. Any cars that are not in the lane next to you will not be detected so on the highways and motorcways ALWAYS turn your head and check yourself before changing your lane because this BSM system cannot detect cars that far-away from you

I love it, it's been so reliable. If it ever failed I would Install another one tomorrow as I just can't be without it now. Mine is 24Ghz, I haven't tried the 77Ghz system yet. The installation is a big job so you wouldn't replace it until you have to, I would recommend you install one, you wont regret doing it

Silly question maybe but the sensors can work through the rear bumper or they point at the ground

@@swayno7154 through the bumper, i found system with one sensor only and it can be installed outside of the bumper, its mostly for trucks, but can be used on any car and its 77 Hz

@swayno7154 There is no such thing as a stupid question but no, DON'T point the sensors to the ground. the radar sensors must be mounted horizontally and operate by penetrating the signal through the plastic bumper yes. They won't penerate through metal though so don't mount the sensors behind a metal bumper, it won't work as it will block the signals

@ot2325 yeh you can get external sensor systems aswell which makes the installation a little bit easier and faster, but external sensor mounting looks very ugly, unless it's an old car and you don't care what it looks like.

Yes, it's probably best to call a shop first to make sure they are happy to do the job for you as some shops may dictate that will only Install there own products, but this job can be carried out by any auto electrician if your not confident doing it yourself

Yeh the mirrors can be a challenge, ive heard of so many people breaking the glass trying that setup. And the problem is you have to remove the mirror to run the wire from the led lamp to the inside of the car and that's where it can go horribly wrong

Buzzer only works with turn signal switch on

@fuadhasanov238 your welcome, have a great day

@muskit_ it's detected the car that has pulled up behind my car (you cant see it in the video). Not that blue car. Blindspot monitors cannot detect cars 2 lanes away.

No, blind spot monitors are not designed to work like that. It's designed for detecting cars thar are approaching you and are in your blind spot

Good question. It all depends on the application it's being used for
