Blind spot assist retrofit
I have a 2011 S550 that did not come with blind spot detection. I've noticed that cars that have that feature have what appear to be the same mirrors. If I simply purchased new mirrors with the blind spot detection will they work on my vehicle? Is there some other hardware that would have to be added? I can't imagine that they would have a separate wiring harness for each application so I'm wondering if it would simply be a matter of plugging new mirrors into the harness?
Thanks for any help!

I have blind spot detection. I've read that it comes with individual sensors, not the rear parking sensors) on either side of the rear bumper.
I found this post, maybe it will help!

If you have a car with Distronic Plus, you will need two additional radar sensors in the rear which requires a new wiring harness to accommodate 4 radar sensors instead of two, plus the mirrors with the triangles. Once you have all of the hardware in place you need to code the car for the feature.
