V. Installation Guide
1. Sensor Installation
Installation requirements: sensors should be adhered to the inner corner of the bumper with
supplied Velcro. The angle should be between 20 to 25 degrees with the height ranging from
13-35 inches. (Fig.1-Fig.2)
Fig.1 Fig.2
Step1: Measuring method: Measure the rear bumper using the angle gauge to locate the 20 to 30
Degrees angle. (Fig.3-Fig.4)
The angle of the Microwave
radar sensors are between
20 to 25 Degrees.
The microwave sensors are only intended for
plastic bumpers.
Please note the BSS1 is NOT applicable for metal
bumpers.

6
Step2: Locate the desired position for the sensors. (Fig.5 - Fig.6)
Step3: Remove the rear bumper to clean the surface for the sensors. (Fig.7)
Fig7
Step4: Place the provided Velcro (To Help Absorb Vibration) on the surface of the
sensors (black side) and the desired location on the bumper (See image below).
Fig.8 Fig.9
Make sure the surface is
clean before Velcro
placed with sensors.

2. Installation of the left/right turn signal.
Step 5. Using the voltage Multi-meter, locate the left and right turn signal trigger wires behind
the tail lamp. Once verified, connect the left and right signal wires of the BSS1 wire harness to
the correct signal wires.
Fig10 Fig11 Fig12
3. LED indicator installation:
Step 6. Place the LED indicators where it is visible for the driver. Ideally on the A-pillar or in field
view side mirrors.
Fig.13 Fig.14
4. Speaker location:
Step 7. While installing the speaker, make sure it is not obstructed by any panels inside the
vehicle.
Fig.15
Step 8. Tuck the wires neatly to hide and prevent wire pinch.
Note
Illumination of the LED indicator on the control box:
1. The LED comes on solid when the system is first powered up;
2. The LED blinks slowly while the GPS module is connected to the satellite;
3. The LED blinks quickly while sensing moving objects that are approaching in the
blind spot (same frequency as to the alarm LED indicators & the buzzer);
4. The LED maintains the last blinking status after the alerts have ended (the last
blinking status of alarming is off / on randomly)

8
VI. Alert conditions:
1. When the vehicle is on, the system would start detecting objects in the blind area in the lane
next to and behind the vehicle 50 feet. (Fig.16)
2. When vehicles are approaching and their speed is faster than our own speed.
Fig.16
VII. How does it alert?
A: Blind detection on right side:
1. R-LED indicator will be activated when there is an object approaching to the right side blind
area of your vehicle (see Fig.16).
2. If the right turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the R-LED indicator will be
blinking and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same frequency).
B: Blind detection on left side:
1. L-LED indicator will be activated when there is an object approaching to the left side blind area
of your vehicle (see Fig.16).
2. If the left turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the L-LED indicator will be
blinking and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same frequency).
C: The LED and buzzer will standby (no activity) if there is no object approaching to the blind area
of your vehicle.
D: During reversing, the R & L LED will be blinking according to the approaching object detection
of each side.

VIII. Troubleshooting:
NO.
Issue
Reason
Solution
1
LED light does not
work
Incorrect connection or pins
not making contact
Check the harness and make
sure connection is correct
LED light is broken
Replace LED light
2
Opposite LED
indicator
Microwave sensor or LED
indicators are plugged in to the
opposite connector
Make sure RED is driver side and
YELLOW is passenger side.
3
Buzzer does not work
Wrong connection or pins not
making contact
Check the harness and make
sure connection is correct
Defective buzzer speaker
Replace buzzer
4
Sensors or GPS does
not work
Sensors or GPS module are
covered by the metal bumper
or other metal
Find the best location where the
GPS antenna cannot be blocked
by any metal
5
Unit does not work
after GPS is
connected
Blind spot system does not
trigger the sensors if the speed
is less than 20mph
Normal behavior in this case.
The GPS needs to detect
+20mph to trigger the sensors
