Brandmotion RDBS-1600 Radar Blindspot System with Cross Traffic Detection
Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assistance, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Retrofit Driver Assistance
Overview
The Brandmotion RDBS-1600 is a retrofit radar blind spot system built around OEM validated 76 to 77 GHz sensors that hide behind the rear plastic fascia. It splits its warnings in two: a blind spot alert at 27 ft when the speed difference between vehicles is under 18 mph, and a lane change assist alert out to 290 ft when a vehicle closes faster than that. The system derives vehicle speed from the radar itself rather than the CAN bus, so it fits any make or model with a plastic rear bumper, and the sensors carry an IP69 rating with a working range of -40 C to 85 C. Cabin warnings come from amber LED HMI indicators, a buzzer adjustable across three volume steps and a reverse cross traffic function.
Key Highlights
- Two 76 to 77 GHz radar sensors mount behind the rear plastic fascia and cover 0.15 to 120 m of detection range
- Blind spot alerts light at 27 ft behind the sensor, while lane change assist reaches 290 ft when the speed difference is above 18 mph
- Amber LED indicators sit in drill mounted HMI housings on both sides of the cabin, with a buzzer rated above 85 dB and Hi, Med and Lo volume settings
- Radar measures the host vehicle speed instead of reading the CAN bus, which lets the kit fit any vehicle with a plastic rear fascia
- Cross traffic detection activates the moment reverse is engaged, and the sensors are rated IP69 for washdown and road spray
