That's good news at least. I'm curious as to how the system ties into the EPAS to give feedback and steer you back into your lane. I'm sure the online dealer (Oasis) manual explains how it works.

This is just a guess, but probably the same/similar process as the Pro trailer back up assist.

I think the calibration will take care of any differences with the fusion sensor

I was curious what all would have to be done. I've kicked around the idea of adding this to mine a few times, but was never dedicated enough to look up the differences.

Just some general interest info:

Gentex‟s SmartBeam feature uses a relatively low-resolution camera to automatically turn a vehicle’s high beams on and off automatically according to surrounding traffic conditions. The Gentex driver-assist system uses a high-resolution, multi-function camera combined with algorithmic decision -making to perform Automatic High-Beam Control, Lane Keeping and Driver Alert. The system was developed in conjunction with Mobileye ® , the global pioneer in the development of vision-based driver-assistance systems. In Lane Keeping mode, the driver is warned by vibrating the steering wheel, while the Lane Keeping function warns the driver by applying torque at the steering wheel to direct the vehicle back into the lane. Driver Alert monitors the vehicle’s lane position and can notify a driver of signs of inattentiveness with a coffee cup warning light that appears on the dashboard instrument cluster. Certain components, including the camera and microprocessor, are integrated into a Gentex interior auto -dimming mirror.

Hmmm, seems there might be a processor in the mirror housing itself. Need to do more digging....

So, I just grabbed a second HBAC/LA mirror off ebay for 60 bucks.

One I can take apart and learn, the other I can use for in the truck once I figure out a plan of attack.

That way if I break one (figuring out what's what and how to open it) I'll still be good to go.

So that's 110 bucks so far on the mirror. Still waaay better than 1400 odd bucks.....and not too much pain if it doesn't work out.

Good luck. When do you think the harness will be in?
