Morlin Group, which began offering an aftermarket blindspot detector a couple of months ago, is planning car specific models as early as the third quarter this year.
The company hopes to offer camera-based blind spot detectors that can tie in with the navigation or information system on certain vehicles. In addition, it is looking at offering a camera-based blind spot detector that would work with a more universal aftermarket rear view mirror.
Morlin, based in Perkasie, PA, entered the aftermarket blind spot detector market under its iCar-Link brand about two months ago with two-sensor units—the BS-100 and step up BS-200. Both models use OEM grade sensors, but the step up model uses a slightly better sensor. Suggested retail prices are about $249 and $279, respectively. The systems’ two sensors install on either side of the rear bumper and the driver gets a warning from an LED and/buzzer. The warnings may be set to activate only when a turn signal is on (preferably) or they may be set to alert any time there is an object in the blind spot.
Morlin is sourcing its product from a “design and supply team in China,” said President Bob Morgan.
