Hamilton Guy Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) My wife just bought a used 2013 Edge Limited. It has the backup camera but no BLIS/Cross Traffic. Is it possible to have them installed by a Ford dealer? Or is there an aftermarket product? EDIT: She is particularly interested in getting th cross traffic warning, less so about the Blind Spot Indicators Thanks Edited July 7, 2013 by Hamilton Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Considering the required integration into the CPU, sync system and all other components, I can't imagine you could do this after the fact (or even at a reasonable cost). Having said that, I'd like to see you prove me wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bemberry Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 hello there sir im from the city so hav no clue what that is ur asking but I believe we are insearch of the same thing but hav 2 completely different names for it.... so what I think ur talking about is wat certain suv's hav where if a car is in ur blind spot it will give u a light indicator on that side mirror... if im correct they don't make anything of that sort or kind by ford or aftermarket...but I can help u and anybody get the process started and it is costly. well lets begin 1step go buy the front senors for the bumper its about 200 usd the wires should be long enough for u to mount 2 on both sides of the suv on the corners of the bumper now u hav to convert the sound into an l.e.d light source keep in mind the sensor kits come with 4 sensors u may hav to buy 2 kits in order to achieve wat ur doin and just replace the sound with a light source... I hope that this helps u in wat ur doin and understand that its a mod not sumthing u can hav put on... be way sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system, BLIS, is available in may Fords. For the Edge, it comes as an available option for the SEL, Limited, and Sport models in the Vision Package. Directly from Fords site: The BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert is yet another innovative feature available in Ford Edge. When a vehicle is detected entering the blind spot zone, an indicator light illuminates in the outside mirror corresponding to the side from which the vehicle is approaching. The cross-traffic alert feature uses the blind spot monitoring sensors to audibly and visually alert you to another vehicle approaching from either side while you are slowly backing out of a driveway or parking spot. http://www.ford.com/crossovers/edge/features/#page=Feature13 well lets begin 1step go buy the front senors for the bumper its about 200 usd the wires should be long enough for u to mount 2 on both sides of the suv on the corners of the bumper now u hav to convert the sound into an l.e.d light source keep in mind the sensor kits come with 4 sensors u may hav to buy 2 kits in order to achieve wat ur doin and just replace the sound with a light source...

This run-on sentence makes my eyes burn. Considering the required integration into the CPU, sync system and all other components, I can't imagine you could do this after the fact (or even at a reasonable cost). Having said that, I'd like to see you prove me wrong Agreed, I'm not sure if it would be possible to integrate the OEM system into your existing Edge.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Dingo probably knows the secret to BLIS, if anyone on here does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 The Factory system will be near impossible to retrofit (at leady cost wide). There are aftermarket alternatives though: http://www.goshers.com/ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blind-Spot-Information-system-Indicator-Turn-Signal-Mirror-Alarm-LH-RH-Pair-Set-/180891712019?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1dfc7a13&vxp=mtr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
