here's some pics - You can't really tell from the pics but these are bright!Got any photos? I was tempted to use green for my colour scheme
Hey Smart Guys/Gals,Guys,
this week I finally got the blind spot and cross travel alert fitted, programmed and working!
I have a 2020 mustang RSPEC and live in Australia. To all those wondering if the EU / AU models can be fitted with this the answer is yes!
Thanks to https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/members/rubens_5-0.42738/ for helping me out with the mirrors!
I am not going to list all the parts as https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/members/toasterhunter.58920/ did a really good job and outside of making sure you have the correct mirror for your region there is no material difference.
I was lucky with my sensors getting them from a manual GT350R with low miles in Vancouver. All other bits were FORD OEM genuine parts out of states with 6 - 8 week delivery through a mate in US as they would only do business with residents…?
now this job took far longer than anticipated and I had a few snags along the way that required a bit of support ( outside of my limited garage facility).
If ordering the external mirror plugs make sure you order enough of the plugs and sockets as they are tiny and might require several attempts ( the right crimper makes all the difference).
I installed the OEM mirror and tested continuity as I went ( through door, then through door connector and then prior to connecting to the sensors.
For life or money I could not get the pin and socket combination in the door plug to fit. I went to auto spark and he couldn’t get it to work either so we ran wires through the plug and socket with aid of small drill.
I got my local dealer to remove and replace my bumper and fit the sensors and my preloomed cables. I took the opportunity to also run the side marker supply cables at the same time.
On hooking everything up I could see the RH sensor but not the left. A bit of fault finding and I had the Can wire polarity incorrect on the left. Sorted programmed and out for test drive…
the system worked as intended but I had a whole heap of DTC’s (photos attached) that were intermittently popping up and now my air conditioner, stereo and seat cooling didn’t work.
I decided to recheck my terminations to the canbus ( tapped into the BCM pins 23 & 11). I ended up reterminating everything again and codes cleared and now fully functional.
Would I do again, absolutely. This is a safety feature that should be on all mustangs or two door cars (IMO).
I am a bit of a perfectionist so everything is loomed in factory style tape , all terminations except the canbus are in factory locations and to the uninitiated it’s like a factory install. thanks to the early pioneers who paved this mod over 4 years ago you are legends.
cheers
Mark
What's the likelihood Ford has a different diagnostic routine and/or BLIS indicator LED resistance/max current spec between the Mustang and Fusion?What's the resistance for the lights? Per @breeves002, the sweet spot for them seems to be > 400 ohms. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZIRPM4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_29Y4CbMVQ1TDY is the one that I used. Others had good luck with them but some didn't, perhaps due to the change in the resistance due to manufacturing variances... Let me know if you have issues finding the lights that'll work and I'll send you some from my stash.
Hello,@RSPEK 178
Do you have part numbers for the BLIS mirrors with the EU-spec size?
Hello,@RSPEK 178

Hello again. I can confirm they are the correct part numbers for EU and AU mustangs.Hello,
I would check but I think they areFR3Z-17K707-Q & FR3Z-17K707-R.
They are just the mirrors which fit the mirror housing. In my instance they are foldable. CheersThank you Mark!
are these mirrors with or without folding?
If not, maybe as an alternative, I could just retrofit the glasses?
Edit:
Just checked, this ar just the glasses.
So that idea could be right?
