Speaker 1: Today on this 2018 Toyota Avalon, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Rear View Safety Blind Spont Sensor System, part number RVS-BES02.Here's what our blind spot detection system look like installed on the rear of our vehicle. Keep in mind, it's going to look identical on the other side. We'll have one sensor for each side of the vehicle. Here's what it looks like inside of the vehicle. We'll have two indicator lights like this one, which typically you'll mount on your A pillar so you can see them easily while you're driving. The one on the driver side will be for your driver side blind spont, and the one on the passenger side will be for your passenger side blind spot.Now, the reason you're going to want this system is if you have a vehicle that's not factory equipped with blind spot indication, this does make it a lot safer when you're trying to drive down the highway and change lanes.

You don't want to accidentally merge into somebody or change lanes into them if they're in your blind spot. This will alert you to their presence. Now we'll give you a brief example of how it's going to work on the driver side of the vehicle. Passenger side's the same way.I'm going to walk towards our blind spot zone, and you'll see the light come on. You'll notice the light comes on when someone's in the blind spot area.

Now, if we turn on our driver side turn signal and we go towards our blind spot area, we'll get an audible beep to go along to alert us to their presence. Now we have a dash-mounted speaker to alert us with a beeping noise when something is in our blind spot when the turn signal is on. We can disable this by sliding a switch on it to the off position, and we have a low volume level and a high volume level.Now, what sets this apart from other options out there on the market is that this is a very simple install. It provides a very clean and factory-like appearance, and we don't have to worry about finding a place to mount cameras or display screen, so we have a very uncluttered dash. It also involves a lot less wiring than some other systems out there.

It's a very cost-effective solution for you.To begin our install, we went ahead and made a mark on the back bumper where we're going to need to drill a hole to mount our sensor. We made sure we made the mark according to the instructions, and we've already verified that there's nothing that's going to interfere with the sensor behind the bumper cover of this area. Now keep in mind, everything you do on one side you're going to repeat on the other side. Now we're going to take our larger diameter hole saw, line it up with the mark that we made, and drill our hole.Now we'll get our sensor oriented for installation. We'll first start off by taking our wiring harness here and plugging in the back of a sensor.

It only goes in one way. Now we'll take our grommet here, the flat side will face against the sensor here and just wrap around it like that. This is ready to be installed now.Our mount for the sensor, there's an arrow. This needs to face up in the vehicle. This will go into the bumper like this, be on the outside of it, and then our sensor only goes in one way. It'll go in like this and lock in place into here. Now our arrow's facing straight up. We'll take our bracket and just push it until it snaps into our bumper, like so. Now we'll take our sensor, go up from underneath our bumper cover, and lock it into the bracket. Just push it until it snaps into place. Snapped in, we're good to go.Now we need to determine where we're going to mount our indicator lights inside the vehicle. Now typically, you'll want to have these on the A pillar. We're going to mount ours on this flat surface here, in this general area. Now, in order to do this, we're going to have to remove the A pillar from the vehicle and we'll show you how to do that now. We're going to grab our weather stripping on our door and pull it away from our A pillar. Now we can grab the A pillar and we'll pull it away from the vehicle.Now, we have this tether here. This holds the A pillar in place in case our side impact air bag ever has to deploy. That way, this doesn't come and injure us as this air bag comes down. We'll have to remove this tether. It's actually pretty simple to do. We can just grab the end of it, and we'll twist it 90 degree
