The BSD-200 is p remium Universal, microwave blindspot detection system. It works on both sides
of the vehicle using state of the art microwave sensors designed specically to go behind plastic
bumpers providing detection of vehicles in the other lanes of trac. This system was designed to
be exible enough that no matter the vehicle it is being installed into, you will have the correct
parts needed.

Mounting the MCU (Main Control Unit)
The system is designed to have the MCU mounted in the rear of the
vehicle. Most vehicles have access to the turn signals and reverse trigger
in the rear.
1. The MCU should be mounted on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Before mounting the MCU be sure to clean the area with an alcohol
prep pad helping the adhesive stick better.
2. The main harness should run down the driver’s side of the vehicle.
3. The main harness running to the front of the vehicle contains
Ignition, Audible Alert and Left/Right Visual Alert connections. The
ignition wire comes with an inline 2A fuse already installed.

Wiring Connections
Before making any connections, it is recommend to use a DMM (Digital
Multi Meter) to test the wiring. There are (5) wiring connections that are
needed to be made.
1. Ground (Black) – Grounding the MCU should always be the rst
connection made to ensure that the system will not accidentally
short out. For proper grounding, it is recommend grounding the
wire to a paint free piece of metal.
2. Reverse Input (Purple) – This wire needs to be connected to a wire
that gets 12V when the vehicle is placed into reverse. To nd the
reverse wire, locate the reverse lamp on the vehicle and use your
DMM to test the wires while the vehicle is in Reverse. Some vehicles
do require the vehicle to be running so setting the parking brake
and having a second person change the shifter is recommended.

Key Features
Key Features:
Hidden Sensors – Microwave sensors are specically designed to be mounted behind
plastic bumpers allowing for a cleaner installation.
Two Visual Alert Options – The BSD-200 comes with (2) LED options; there is both a
surface and ush mount design (holesaw included).
Angle Brackets – There are (3) dierent angle brackets included in the kit. These are
designed to help elimate false alerts by making sure you have the correct mounting
angle since all vehicles are not built the same.
Self-Testing – Every time the BSD-200 is turned ON, the system will enter a self-test
mode ensuring the system is working properly when the vehicle is started.
Audible Alerts – The system will give an audible alert ONLY if you have your turn
signal ON. This is to give an extra warning if there is an object in your blind spot.
All Weather Design – Each connection point, including the seal on the sensors are
IP67 rated allowing for trouble free operation in any weather condition.
NOTE: Blind spot detection is meant to help detect objects in the blind spots of
vehicles. This blind spot system should never be used to replace mirrors or checking
your surroundings. Good driving habits are still the driver’s responsibility.

Sensor Mounting
Finding the optimum mounting point.
1. Determine the type of bumper on the vehicle (Pg. 8)
2. Once the bumper type is determined you will know which angle
nder and mounting adapter you will use on your vehicle.
3. Line the non-angled side of the angle template to the outer most
edge of the side mirror. With the non-angled side aligned with the
mirror, you will see where the angled side meets the vehicle. This will
give you the optimum mounting location for the sensor.
4. Find an area behind the bumper that will allow you to mount the
sensor on the mounting adaptor that is 17.75” to 31.5”(45-80cm)
from the ground.
NOTE: The sensor needs mounted as at as possible, any angle up or
down may result in non-optimized results.
5. Before removing the bumper, be sure there is plenty of clearance for
the sensor.

sensor mounting
6. Mount the sensor using the provided screws to the mounting angle
adaptor.
7. Using 1 of the supplied alcohol pads, clean the surface of the adap-
tor that will be mounted to the vehicle.
8. Peel and stick 1 side of the pre-cut adhesive tape and apply it to the
mount.
9. Using a second alcohol pad, clean the area on the bumper where the
sensor will be mounted. If the bumper has snow, mud or heavy dirt,
clean the area prior to using the alcohol pad.
10. Once the bumper is prepped, install the sensor onto the bumper.
Ensure that the sensor is mounted so that when on the vehicle it will
be aimed properly and not up or down.
NOTE: If you are installing the BSD-200 in a cold climate, we recom-
mend that the bumper where the sensors will be mount should be at
room temperature to help insure that the adhesive sticks properly.

visual alert installation
Visual Alert Installation
We oer 2 dierent visual alert options (LED’s);
1. Surface Mount – This LED will use 2-sided tape to stick to the surface
of the area you are mounting it to.
2. Flush Mount – The LED will require drilling a hole using the provided
hole saw, this will allow for a more OEM style nish.
NOTE: The optimum location for either of the LED’s is near the base of
the A-pillar where the A-pillar meets the top of the dashboard.

audible alert installation
Audible Alert Installation
There are 2 recommended mounting locations;
1. Behind the Rear View Mirror – This is a good installation option for
the audible alert as it will allow the alerts to be heard easily. Its also
allows for changing the volume easily from HI to LOW.
2. Behind Driver’s Knee Bolster – This is the area below the steering
wheel and this panel is generally easy to remove. This area is a great
place to access the wiring for the main control unit. In addition,
there is plenty of room for the audible alert speaker and accessibility
for volume adjustments.

how it works
How the system works
Powering the system
1) Turn the ignition ON.
2) Start the vehicle
Both of these will trigger the system to turn ON.
3) Ignition ON/Vehicle running and in reverse, the system will be
ON but will not alert of any obstacles.
Self-Diagnostics
1) Every time the system is power ON, the system will perform a
self-diagnostics.
a. If the system passes and everything is working, as it should, the
LED’s will turn ON for 1 second then OFF.
b. If the system does not pass and there is an issue, the LED’s will
ash. If you see ashing LED’s at start up, we recommend taking the sys-
tem back to the authorized reseller/installer to have the system checked
out.

When Driving
When driving, the system will constantly monitor the blind spot zones
around the rear of your vehicle. The system will give a visual alert if
a vehicle enters one of the blind spot zones. If the turn signal is ON,
there will be an audible and visual alert when a vehicle enters the
blind spot zone.
