Best OEM Quality in Accessories

I installed this on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. This system is as good if not better than our other machines that have it from the factory. I installed the recessed visual indicators in the black door trim panel parallel to the side mirror rather than the A-pillar, which took longer to install, but I figured that would be best, not necessarily easiest. Removing the rear bumper was easier than expected, as was placing/installing the radar modules. I was a bit nervous about installing it…

Didn't work - expensive game, buy this one

It was frustrating buying this device and paying around $700. I installed it from a reputable retailer (listed as authorized by Brandmotion) and it didn't work. The dealer spent over 2 hours fixing it and his response was that it's either defective or you have the wrong instructions. I had a tough time installing it and spent over $500 installing it and returning the product to Revain. Thanks Revane, but brandmotion is someone not to do business with. Their products are expensive and lousy, the

Update - Thumbs up Best anti-theft device

I installed this product on my Jeep Wrangler in November 2018 and the product has worked well. In January 2019, the radar system stopped working properly. I contacted Revain who kindly sent me a replacement system to replace the entire system or broken parts. I got a new system and noticed that one of the LED indicator lights had failed. I replaced the light and returned Revain to the rest of the new system and everything is working fine again. I would like to thank Revain for the outstanding…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Perfect security upgrade for my Lexus RX 350 2013

Exactly what I needed and works as promised. I had a neck and back fusion so it's very difficult to look over my shoulder to check for blind spots and rear crossovers. My wife has a newer car with these standard safety features, but I prefer my old LexusRX and am wondering if these features can be successfully added. I did a lot of research and then decided on BrandMotion RDBS. It exceeded my expectations and definitely made driving more comfortable for me. IMPORTANT: Be sure to find out about…

Superior Blind Spot Radar Plus Cross Traffic Alert

Benefits: Blindsport: Works well on freeways - as long as all vehicles are traveling at approximately the same speed. Works well within CITY when moving at speeds over 20 miles. Very useful when reversing from a busy parking lot. Works very well and detects any fast moving vehicle that is not in your or your backup camera's field of view. Limitations: Any radar-based automotive solution has limitations, and the same applies to this one. One of the main limitations is below: detection of a…

Highly Recommended

This is an excellent radar based blind spot detection system and cross traffic warning system with limitations. If your vehicle speed is below 15 miles, this will not work. If there is a static object, it doesn't work. Both restrictions are listed in the product description. Besides, it is OEM quality. I've been using it for 1 month, it works great, no false positives. The Cross Traffic Alert works great in a busy parking lot. What needs improvement: Support for Brandmotion products. It…

Very happy with the RDBS-1500 kit

Brandmotion is constantly improving the RDBS-1500, so the guide launched in December 2019 had some additions that made the installation a bit difficult. One instruction states that the sensors must be mounted 3-10mm from the inside of the bumper. Such a tight tolerance would be almost impossible to achieve as the pump has to be turned off to install the sensor, but Brandmotion technical support assured me that the distance to the bumper is not critical as long as the sensor is installed at a…
