V. Installation Guide
1. Sensor Installation
There are two angle tools included for adjustment of microwave radar pucks:
A. Using the 20-degree angle tool will cover
a wider range of detection.
B. Using the 17-degree angle tool will cover
a narrow range of detection.
17O
Arrow should point to the rear
of the vehicle at 90 degrees
20O

Mounting Radar Pucks with Provided Adjustable Brackets
Note: Please install it according to the correct wiring way
1) Prepare the material 2) Use 4 small screws to install the bracket
to the sensor backside
3) Use two big screws to fix the bracket on the car 4) After angle fixed, fix firmly the screw
of the bracket

2. Installation of the left/right turn signal.
Step 2. Using the voltage Multi-meter, locate the left and right isolated turn signal trigger wires
behind the tail lamp. Once verified, connect the left and right signal wires of the BSS3 wire
harness to the correct signal wires.
Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3
3. LED indicator installation:
Step 3. Place the LED indicators where it is visible for the driver. Ideally on the A-pillar.
Fig.4 Fig.5
4. Speaker location:
Step 4. While installing the speaker, make sure it is not
obstructed by any panels inside the vehicle.
Fig.6
Step 5. Tuck the wires neatly to hide and prevent wire pinch.
Step 6. While installing the GPS, make sure it is not
obstructed by any panels inside the vehicle.

VI. Alert conditions:
When the system is on and functioning, the system is
designed to detect the following events:
1. Blind spots while driving: Objects in the blind spot
areas around your vehicle - in the lanes on the left /
right and directly behind the vehicle at a distance
of up to 50 ft (approximately 15.2 m).
2. Blind spots while being passed / overtaken: When
vehicles are approaching / overtaking your vehicle
from behind.
3. Cross-Traffic Detection: When your vehicle is reversing,
vehicles approaching from your left and right.
Fig.8
VII. How does it alert?
A. When the system is turned on each time (your vehicle ignition or ACC is switched on), both LED indicators
will flash once to indicate system start up and initialization. Once a GPS connection is established, which may
take up to 2 minutes, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the system is ready for use. The GPS
connection is used to calculate your vehicle's speed.
The system features a sensing speed threshold that is set when the system is installed. When your vehicle is
traveling slower than this threshold setting, the system will not produce warnings.
Threshold 1: System warns at any speed above 5 mph (8 km/h)
Threshold 2: System warns at any speed above 10 mph (16 km/h)
Threshold 3: System warns at any speed above 15 mph (24 km/h)
Threshold 4*: System warns at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h)
*The factory default sensing speed threshold is Threshold 4.
B. Blind spot detection toward the right rear of your vehicle:
1. The Right LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle approaching.
2. If your vehicle's right turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, the Right LED
indicator will flash repeatedly and the included speaker will beep (bi-bi-bi) one time.
C. Blind spot detection toward the left rear of your vehicle:
1. The Left LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle approaching.
2. If your vehicle's left turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, the Left LED
indicator will flash repeatedly and the included speaker will beep (bi-bi-bi) one time.
D. Cross-Traffic Detection:
1. When your vehicle is reversing and the system detects an object or vehicle approaching from your right, the
Right LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated and the included speaker will beep repeatedly.
2. When your vehicle is reversing and the system detects an object or vehicle approaching from your left, the
Left LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated and the included speaker will beep repeatedly.
Note: The system will not detect or warn of standing objects or objects moving under 5 mph (8 km/h).
THIS PRODUCT FUNCTIONS AS AN AID
FOR NOTIFYING THE PRESENCE OF OBSTACLES IN VEHICLE BLIND SPOTS.
IT DOES NOT DETECT ALL DANGERS AND OBSTACLES
AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR JUDGEMENT AND CAREFUL ATTENTION.
BEFORE ANY MANEUVER, VISUALLY CHECK BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM.

VIII. Troubleshooting:
NO. Issue Reason Solution
1 LED light does not
work
Incorrect
not making contact
connection or pins 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
