Expert Answers about Blind Spot Detection


  • Will K Source Mirrors w/Blind Spot Detection Fit 2009 GMC Yukon Denali w/Blind Spot Detection
  • I spoke with my contact at K Source about towing mirrors # KSVS55010 and your 2009 GMC Yukon Denali. He stated that if you tried to use these mirrors you would end up with error messages since your Yukon already has the blind spot detection feature. You would also lose the power folding option. The additional wiring and black control box are needed for models that do not already have the blind spot detection features. We do have K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver...

  • Will Longview Custom Towing Mirrors Affect The Blind Spot Detection, Cameras On A 2019 GMC Denali
  • I did contact the manufacturer and because of the cutouts, the lane departure and vehicle blind spot detection functions will not be affected. The Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LO54FR that will not cover up your factory cameras. They have a cut out on the bottom side of the towing mirror to accommodate both the puddle lamps and the camera on the bottom of your mirror.

  • The K-Source Replacement Side Mirror part # KS62103G is a direct replacement and it keeps most of the functions like the power adjustment, the heated mirror face, the preset memory and the integrated turn signal. Unfortunately though it does not have the blind spot detection system built in to it. This mirror is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Buick Enclave.

  • Towing Mirrors for a 2016 Toyota Tundra that Retain the Factory Blind Spot Detection System
  • I do have towing mirror options that will allow you to retain the factory blind spot detection system on your 2016 Toyota Tundra but the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors part # KS70103-04T will not. Unfortunately, none of our replacement towing mirror options retain the factory blind spot detection system. Therefore, the only option I have for you is a clip-on towing mirror like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These are one of the only towing mirror options...

  • I spoke to my contact at K-Source and they informed me that the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirror part # KS70104T does not incorporate the use of the factory blind spot detection system. They will still work for you and retain all other factory features but you will lose the blind spot detection system. For a pair of these side mirrors, you will want part # KS70103-04T. We also have them available in chrome using part # KS70131-32T. Unfortunately, the K-Source mirrors are the only...

  • Mounting Options For A CUB Blind Spot Monitoring System On A 2012 Toyota RAV4
  • You can definitely shoot some self-tapping screws through the tabs of the CUB Blind Spot Monitoring System # CU94TR to ensure a tight bond along with the 3M tape. As for false readings, we haven't had any reports back stating any issues. We've actually just installed a few of the larger version ( # CU95XR) of these on some enclosed race car trailers and a new Silverado 2500 that I personally test drove afterwards and found the system to be really accurate. This truck used a larger monitor...

  • The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2019 Ford F-150 and will retain the use of your factory BSDS (Blind Spot Detection System) camera. They will not interfere with this feature. If your factory mirrors also have the turn signals, puddle lamps, and LED spotlights these mirrors will retain those functions as well. These are extremely nice towing mirrors that will slip right over the factory units to provide you with an extended...

  • When testing the blind spot detection function of your Cub # CU22XR are you driving at speeds exceed 12mph or is the vehicle sitting and you're trying to test this function? if the vehicle isn't moving at speeds 12mph and up then the sensors will not activate.

  • Connecting a Hitch Light to 4-Way on a 2015 Ford F-150 So it Doesn't Deactivate Blind Spot Detector
  • The easiest way to connect your hitch light to your 2015 Ford F-150 without it deactivating the Blind Spot Detector would be to install an aftermarket 4-Pole Connector. All you need to do is use the Curt 4-Pole Trailer Connector, part # C58044, and splice into your F-150's lights directly behind the tail light housing. The wire configuration will be: Yellow - Left turn/brake Green - Right turn/brake Brown - Tail lights White - Ground This should bypass the sensors for your Blind Spot...

  • Will Tow Mirrors for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Affect Blind Spot Sensor
  • Tow mirrors like the K-Source part # KS3990 which we know fit your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee well (see install video) would not interfere with the blind spot sensor as the sensor is actually not on the mirror. It's further back on the vehicle and just shows the alert on the mirror.

  • Will K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors for 2019 Kia Sorento Work with Blind Spot Sensors
  • The K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2 which are a fit for a 2019 Kia Sorento will not interfere with the blind spot detection system. The monitor is inside the side mirrors and you'll still be able to see this with the towing mirrors installed but that is just an indicator, the actual sensors themselves are behind the rear bumper fascia.

  • Blind Spot Mirrors and Monitoring for a 2012 Honda Pilot
  • K-Source blind sport mirrors # KSCW2000 are custom fit for 2004 to 2008 Ford F-150 trucks but will not fit your 2012 Honda Pilot. What I recommend is # KSC0400 which you can stick to the glass on the factory side mirrors. There aren't any custom options for your Pilot. Another option is a blind spot monitoring system # RVS-BES02. It has sensors that will detect vehicles in the blind spot and alert you (with lights that get mounted inside the vehicle).

  • Can The Cub Blind Spot Monitoring System Detect Stationary Objects
  • The Cub Blind Spot Monitoring System for RVs and Motorhomes Up to 55' Long # CU52XR only activates while the RV is moving at a speed greater than 15mph which you typically wouldn't be if you were backing into a spot or just worrying about maneuvering around poles and fire hydrants. Instead you would want a backup sensor like the Rear View Safety Backup Sensor System # RVS-115, which doesn't have a minimum speed rating for activation and can help prevent you from backing into or running...

  • The replacement towing mirrors that we have for your 2017 Toyota Tundra, # KS70131-32T and # KS70103-04T, have electric operation, heat, and turn signal functions but they do not have blind spot monitors so that feature would be lost.
