Anyone installed an aftermarket Blind Spot Monitor?

Just wondering how it went and if any issues.

Not exactly a monitor per se, but I added these and I no longer have a blind spot:

Thank you. Are these individually adjustable once mounted on the OEM mirror or they will only move with the OEM mirror?

They only move with the OEM mirror, but their field of view is so wide that it doesn't create any problems. The shape is much better than the usual round spot mirrors, and they're a frameless plastic than can be sanded to match the shape of the OEM mirror perfectly.

I bought one of these generic side-mirror sets with blue tint that have the thin field-view separator line. Works pretty decent replacing the stick-on small blindside mirrors while looking OEM.

I bought a similar product but from a different company. It is shaped to fit both my BMW's mirrors. I have had no problems with them over the last two years. The biggest threat I found is a careless teen (in my case my own daughter).
