Default Blind Spot options

Like others I would love to have an audio warning if my turn signal is on and there is someone in my blindspot, it appears that isn't a Forscan option, however I read in the forums that when you add Lane assist it enables the steering wheel feedback (rumble/vibration when drifting into another lane), I am wondering if that means there is a Forscan setting to enable steering wheel feedback when the blinker is on and their is someone in your blindspot?

Why not just turn your head and look? Also towing mirrors make it really easy to see in your blind spot too.

I used to use the round fish eye blind spots mirrors and thought they worked great. The ones that come on the truck are ok but not as good as the fish eyes. I like them to because you can see your rear tires when backing up.

I don't know the answer, might be best to ask in the forscan thread? Good luck

The problem with an audible signal is the constant signal when in heavy traffic. It would drive you crazy. And if the audible went off, which way do you look?

We would then have a thread asking how to turn off the audible.

But, we only want the audible when the turn signal (meaning the light on the mirror) is flashing. You would know which side because you turned on the turn signal.
