GPS Antenna
License Plate Bar
The Pioneer Blind Spot Detection System (BSD) SDA-BS100 is designed to assist in detecting vehicles
entering your vehicle’s blind spot zone*. While driving, the system detects objects entering your blind
spot zone around the rear of your vehicle and in the lanes on the left and right of the vehicle with
an approximate detection range of up to 50 feet. When you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot
ordriveway, cross traic approaching from your left or right entering your blind spot zone will activate
the buzzer and the LED indicator(s) to signal the direction of approaching vehicles and warn the driver.
GPS Antenna Included
This SDA-BS100 comes with a GPS antenna, which is used to calculate your vehicle’s moving speed. On
startup, it may take up to 2 minutes to engage; once engaged, both LED indicators will flash twice to
indicate the GPS system has been activated. There are 4 speed sensing thresholds. The factory default
is set to detect and warn at threshold speeds at or above 20-mph. At speeds under the 20-mph
threshold, objects will not be detected.
License Plate Bar Installation
Installation requires the License Plate Bar be positioned horizontal to the road for eective detection.
Mounting wedges are provided to achieve the horizontal position when needed. The SDA-BS100 License
Plate Bar must be installed on the center rear of the vehicle for sensor detection to function properly.
For this reason, license plates designed towards the right or left side of the vehicle are not suited for
the SDA-BS100. Because license plates may vary in configuration from state to state, the SDA-BS100 can
be mounted above or below the license plate.
IPX6 and IPX7 Rating
The SDA-BS100 License Plate Bar with built-in microwave sensors has an IPX6 and IPX7 rating. However,
the Control Unit is not waterproof and requires installation inside the vehicle.
Blind Spot Reading Accuracy
Situations which may aect the SDA-BS100’s reading accuracy include
• When metal objects are in the direct path of the sensing signal.
• Weather such as heavy rain and snow, and icy road conditions, which can cause changes in
sensitivity.
• Gravel roads, which may cause interference due to dust, debris, or foreign objects.
Blind Spot’s Eectiveness
The SDA-BS100 may be compromised in its eectiveness
• When towing or when a permanent trailer is aached.
• On vehicles with metal obstructions in front of the license plate, such as a spare tire mount,
rear bike racks etc.
• Where standard license plates are mounted on the right or left side of the vehicle
