Side Object Detection / Blind Spot Monitoring Retrofit

Side Object Detection / Blind Spot Monitoring Retrofit How-To
Hi all,
I'm bored in lockdown (where I live is still under lockdown now) and so I got tinkering and ended up retrofitting blind spot detection to my XF-R. I wrote up a guide on it - I'm still refining it but here is the link so far. I'd welcome comments etc. Turns out it was pretty easy to do! I don't think I would have bothered without having so much time on my hands but it was a fun job.

Cheers!

Exactly the same as regular mirror glass except with a small sort of figure-8 symbol visible in the glass in the top outer corner, and an extra white plug on the back. You can see the extra white plug and silver covering of the extra components in the top left of this image:

your guide was very helpful with my own retro-fit on my 2015 sportbrake,
i do however have a problem,
i have the correct modules for my car , i have the can bus link connected, and have all the wiring with the correct mirrors etc,
however
the system will not function and i get a ' fault light ' in the right hand mirror after the initial overtake symbol lights up on ignition ( self test )
i have tried other modules and it make no difference
both modules are seen and report 100% working in SDD , i have tried the right hand mirror flash , but all i get is a right hand mirror fault light in that mirror
the left hand mirror flashes to life fro one second and then nothing
i do get a ' no coms to left hand mirror ' on the OBD2 reader , but can confirm coms and physical wiring is good
any idea's ?

Because of the way the modules decide which is left and right, it can be difficult to determine which side the fault lies on. If the right-hand-side module disconnects from the mirror (and the resistor that's in it) then it decides it is the left hand module. Then you have 2 left hand modules which corrupts the CAN messages because they both try to respond, so this logs a communication fault with the left module.

BTW, I am now not sure about the SDD settings that I published - this needs a bit more testing on my side. It seems like setting the option that I have in the document tells the instrument cluster about blind spot detection, so I get messages about faults in the cluster. But my door modules are now flagging a DTC for invalid configuration. They weren't doing this when I had both options set, so it's possible that one bit in the CCF is for the instrument cluster and the other is for the door modules. Or it might just be because half my door speakers are missing lol

thank for the reply
SSD can see both the LH and RH modules and reports both working 100% ,
however
i seem to have some sort of issue or conflict
as my more basic OBD2 reader reports ' no comms ' to the LH unit ,
i get a half second startup flash in the LH mirror, a stronger startup flash in the RH mirror, then the fault light comes on all the time in the RH mirror with the message blind spot monitoring unavailable in the message centre in the dash

so , a little more tinkering in the CCF this afternoon , i have come up with a DTC of U0232 , which is comms fault between the RH SODR and SODL unit , showing as a fault with the SODL as the car cant see it, but the fault is actually on the SODR
Both CCF lines are enabled ,
it seems reading the online code faults that there is either a short or a fault with the SODR unit , but this has been changed out with another, so its leaning towards a bad connection or a break or short on the CAN system
the plot thickens
suppose i have to take the rear bumper off yet again , thats about five times now, getting quite good at it, lol

I'm would say that if you had a break in the medium speed can network you would know about it lol. No harm in doing the communications test though I suppose
Still, seems like a basic connectivity issue, one of the pins will not be making a good contact somewhere.
Are both sensors running the same software? You can get that from the parts list on the left side of the SSD session screen.

BSM radar sensor pin-out
Pin-out for the 6 pin connector found on the Jaguar/Valeo 8X and 9X radar sensors:
Jaguar / Valeo 8X and 9X radar/sensor unit pin-out provided by TOXO
I'm fortunate to be working with FW93-14F152-BD units with 8 pin connectors from 2016-2019+ XF, F-Pace, XJ, and XE.
Assistance with the new 8 pin pin-out would be very much appreciated. Especially Pins 3, 4, and 8.
Thanks,
Bill
