I have a hyundai ix25 and its possible installing it without cut cables? and another question is it's possible put the light indicator inside de mirror?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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

[@Gingi_370z]

Fantastic installation video but i have one question please , if your passing cars and they came into ur blind spot area will it defect the car ? Or only when a car is over taking u

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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.

[@alexrosu9911]

This is pretty cool! I'm thinking about installing it in my vehicle. One question though, do the blind spot monitors detect stuff like tunnel walls? If you're driving alongside a tall barrier due to being in the farthest over lane, will the blind spot lamp illuminate? Does it bother you? Ok, I guess two questions. How has it held up over the past three months?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@ot2325]

Hi, how do you find this system? Are you happy with it? Any issues? I'm looking to buy and install it by myself. I noticed there is 24 Hz and 77 hz available, any thoughts? Thanks

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@swayno7154]

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

[@ot2325]

@@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

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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.

[@BROWNJAPAN]

could you possible do a version of this at night? it seems like the lighting system is nice and bright but I wonder if it might be too bright for night driving and could possible be a distraction over being helpful. plz and thank you

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

It's a shame that you didn't show case the wiring instructions. The link you shared in the comments is only for the light indicator, not the whole system.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@ultimatums1 The link shared is for the entire BSM system, you need to choose the correct option when adding it to your cart. The wiring is only 4 wires and should be connected by a professional auto electrician for anyone who is unfamiliar with how there cars electrical system works.

Hello my friend,i want to ask you if i could put other light indicators than the package has like the ones i found from AliExpress and they are leds which you install in the back of the side mirrors???Are the plugs from the indicators universal plugs???

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@brianmaule2449]

Hello once again. I followed your lead and bought the same system as you recommended. However, I am having a problem in connecting the electrical wires. There is what appears to be a relay with three wires on one side (yellow, red, and black) and two wires on the other side (red and black). Connecting all four wires as the manual shows does not trigger the relay and there is no power coming out of the relay going to the lights on the A and B posts. My question is what should the yellow wire be connected to? The installation manual only shows the red (Acc) and black (ground) but then I cannot understand what would trigger the relay. The diagram on what I assume is the relay shows that the yellow wire is 39v. Thanks for your help.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@brianmaule2449 Hi, this was a long time ago when I installed this and I don't recall there being a relay used in this BSM kit so i presume your talking about the flasher relay maybe of your car? What Year/Make/Model is the car your installing this BSM system to?

[@brianmaule2449]

@@SHORTwithTECH A 2009 jaguar but I have used relays to get positive outputs for the reverse and indicator wires, The problem is that the kit comes with an inline fuse and a relay but these are not mentioned or detailed in the diagramed directions included. Thanks

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@brianmaule2449 The Relay and Inline fuse are optional and not required for most installations. You donot put power to the Indicators or reverse light, the wires from the BSM are input triggers only and require input voltages from the indicators and reverse light for the BSM to function. If your using relays then there should be power on pin 87 when the Indictators are flashing, if there is no power then you have the relays wired up incorrectly

[@brianmaule2449]

@@SHORTwithTECH Sorry for the delay. Yes, I am using relays that give power to Pin 87 when indicators are flashing. However, even when I remove the inline fuse and relay and put power directly into the 12v red wire, the warning lights (attached to Post A and B) do not work. I believe that these lights are defective. I will dump this and try another brand. Thanks for all of your help.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@brianmaule2449 sorry it's very hard to help with this problem over the internet. I doubt that both of the led lights would be defective. I don't see you mentioning anywherr that you have connected the switched +12V wire at all, you did connect this wire right? If you didn't then that's why it's not working.

[@ddyy1490]

Hello, how are you? I congratulate you on a job well done. I have a simple question: How did you install the right and left turn wires so that the bell works when you turn? What is the bundle of wires that you installed, and where did you take it from? Thank you, the power source to you, artist 🌹

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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 🙂

Can this BSM system be modified to alert a driver to left and right, lateral, of both front fenders and aft towards the rear of a vehicle? Almost the reverse of the the intended installation.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inqTeZ-Hp9KJgtEsi=rtz6ZuG6QqBHaSNG into the front of your vehicle for front detection. Or have I not understood your question correctly?

[@dugix2292]

Hey man, great video! I've got 2 questions: Did you have instructions come with the kit as per say what parameters it needs to be mounted exactly, ( with centimiters , the radars). And do you think it would be possible to send the blinking lights make a cut out for them on the side mirrors and have the wiring go through from the door to the side mirror ? Again thanks for the video.

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

There has to be an easier plug and play type system to attach to mirrors by now

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@txematurismo]

hola es instalado y al iniciar la marcha en el coche se enciende y esta encendido todo el rato y si activó el intermitente pita y parpadea el lado que active y comprobado todo y no se que acer si esta el coche parado funciona todo bien

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@txematurismo Yes you are correct, that is exactly how this BSM system works

[@NickosC1]

Excellent work! Very good product. Do you know if it can be placed to all vehicles especially new ones? I've heard that it might be not compatible with the new cars and the control unit sees it as an error so it doesn't work properly or causes damage to the control unit. I don't actually believe it. However, if there is a chance to be incompatible it wont work no that this would cause any damage. Right?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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?

[@NickosC1]

@@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!😁🤞🤞🤞

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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

[@NickosC1]

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😢

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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!

[@loveroseforeva]

Can I take it to a shop for this

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@DucNguyen-wt4zq]

My honda crv 2018 has no BSM only lane watch camera

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@DucNguyen-wt4zq Lane Watch cameras are also very good. You can add a BSM system to your car aswell so you will then have both systems to use for safer driving

[@drrobotsir]

Have you seen any problem that the cars two or three lanes from your car triggering the sensor?

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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

[@drrobotsir]

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

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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

[@muskit_]

13:21 - looks like that car was 2 lanes away?

Thanks for posting this! Does the system also work as Rear Cross traffic alert? Because my dad loves pulling into a parking bay forward rather than reversing the back in. This would be helpful for him when he reverses out. Thanks!

[@SHORTwithTECH]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/faGUeYyqj52qqcUsi=GwwFLpXz20HX_U0S

[@dval2437]

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!

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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

[@dval2437]

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

[@SHORTwithTECH]

@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
