It is technically feasible to install a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system in a vehicle, but factors such as vehicle model compatibility, installation complexity, and cost need to be considered. The system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect vehicles within a range of 3 to 8 meters on the side and rear. It is automatically activated when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h and alerts the driver of vehicles in the blind spot through indicator lights on the rearview mirror or audible warnings. For certain brand models such as Mazda, the factory-installed BSM system can be retrofitted by adding modules, wiring harnesses, and programming, but it requires compatibility with the vehicle's CAN bus communication protocol and may involve adjustments to the dashboard indicator functions. The installation process must be performed by professional technicians, and the cost could amount to several thousand ringgit due to parts scarcity. For those with budget constraints, third-party solutions may be considered, provided they comply with local safety regulations.
