Upgrade Your VW T6.1 or Crafter with Side Assist & Rear Traffic Alert! 🚦

If you’re driving a VW T6.1 or Crafter, you already know the importance of safety on the road. Adding Volkswagen Side Assist and Rear Traffic Alert takes that safety to the next level. Over the years, we've successfully upgraded countless VW vans with Side Assist and Rear Traffic Alert, including my own T6.1, and I can personally vouch for how much of a game-changer this upgrade is!

What Does Side Assist & Rear Traffic Alert Do?

🔹 Side Assist: Warns you of vehicles in your blind spot, making motorway lane changes safer. 🔹 Rear Traffic Alert: Alerts you to cross-traffic when reversing, helping prevent unexpected collisions.

This system operates via radar sensors 🛁 mounted on the rear corners of the van, scanning for approaching vehicles. If a potential hazard is detected, the system reacts instantly with visual alerts:

🚨 Side Assist Activation – A warning appears on the dashboard, and the side mirror illuminates with an amber signal. 🚨 Rear Traffic Alert Activation – The van’s infotainment system displays a warning, flashing red zones to indicate danger.

How We Retrofit Side Assist on Your VW Van

This upgrade requires precision, patience, and a lot of coding. Here’s a breakdown of the key steps:

🔄 Rear Bumper Retrofit: We integrate the radar sensors within the rear bumper for seamless functionality.

🔄 Door Card Removal: To install the required wiring and connect the system to the BCM, we carefully dismantle the door cards.

🔄 Side Mirror Glass & Cap Replacement: We swap out the glass and mirror cap with Side Assist compatible versions that feature built-in warning indicators.

🔄 Glass & Mirror Cap Replacement: We swap out your original components with new ones that feature built-in warning indicators.

🔄 BCM Wiring & Extensive Coding: Once all hardware is installed, we dive into complex coding, ensuring everything communicates flawlessly with the van’s electrical system.
