V. Installation Guide
Radar Pucks 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)
OR use provided mounting bracket for vehicle side installation. (Page. 7)
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 microwave sensors are only intended for plastic bumpers vehicles.
Please note the BSS2 is NOT applicable metal bumpers.
Fig.3
Fig.4
The angle of the
Microwave radar
sensors is between
20 to 25 Degrees.

Step2: Locate the desired position for the radar pucks. (Fig.5 - Fig.6)
Step3: Remove the rear bumper to clean the surface for the radar pucks. (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).

Make sure the surface is
clean before Velcro
placed with sensors.

Installation of the left and right turn signals. (Please make sure not shared with Brake Lamp)
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 BSS2 wire harness to the
correct signal wires. (Fig10, Fig11, Fig12) (Please make sure not shared with Brake Lamp)
Fig10 Fig11 Fig12
LED indicator installation:
Step 6. Place the LED indicators where it is visible for the driver. Ideally on the A-pillar of vehicle.
Fig.13 Fig.14
Adjustable Speaker Installation
Step 7. While installing the speaker, make sure not to obstructed Speaker by any panels. There is
a low, high, and off setting. (Fig.15)

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 your vehicle at 35 feet. (Fig.16)
2. When vehicles are approaching, and their speed is faster than our own speed.
Fig.16
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 GPS module is connected to the satellites;
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)

10
VII. How does it alert?
A. Blind Spot detection on right side:
1. R-LED indicator will be activated, and indicator will glow when there is an object approaching
to the right-side blind area of your vehicle at speed over 20 mph.
2. If the right turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the R-LED indicator will
blink, and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same frequency) if speed is over 20 mph.
B. Blind Spot detection on left side:
1. L-LED indicator will be activated, and indicator will glow when there is an object approaching
to the left side blind area of your vehicle at speed over 20 mph.
2. If the left turn signal of your vehicle is triggered at the same time, the L-LED indicator will be
blink, and the buzzer will be beeping as well (with the same frequency) if speed is over 20 mph.
C. The LED and buzzer will not glow (no activity) if there is no object approaching to the blind
area of your vehicle.
D. When in reverse, the buzzer will beep to give warning to the driver and the LED will indicate
the direction of incoming vehicles (or objects) approaching.

VIII. Troubleshooting:
NO.
Issue
Reason
Solution
1
LED light does not
illuminate
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 obstruction
Find the best location where the
GPS antenna cannot be blocked
by any metal, clear shot of sky
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
