Can anybody recommend a good stick on blind spot mirror? Amazon has a ton to try and sort through.

One that kind of fits the angles of the stock side mirror is preferred, but round/rectangular is okay as well.

Thanks.

You know you can just properly adjust your mirrors and eliminate the need for those. There are tons of how-tos online, because most people do not properly adjust their mirrors.

+1 nothing says "I don't know how to use my mirrors and have a questionable ability to drive my car" more than tape on wide angle mirrors.

I've used these before, I like the rotating adjustment. Amazon **** 49102 2" HotSpots Round Stick-On Convex Mirror

I would ask the OP why you feel you need this? Do you feel that you have a huge blind spot that you feel may get you in to an accident? Or is there another reason?

Do you have the Blind Spot Monitoring feature on your NX?

Thanks for the replies. I came from an Audi A5 that had really good visibility on either side.

I've found the NX to have limited visibility (even read at least one review mentioning the same thing) - I think it has to do with the thick pillars and the angle of these pillars making visibility through the side windows sub-optimal.

I don't have the blind spot feature in my NX.

Several years back the SAE published guidance on how to set your side mirrors to avoid blind spots. I do this and feel that it works well. Here's an article about it that I hope helps.

I tried adjusting the side mirrors like in the Car Talk link and it's very difficult to get used to that.

I've been driving for almost 30 years - guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I have BSM and I 110% recommend it. It's kept me from hitting vehicles number of times. It's 600 bucks and it has paid for itself after the first incident.

It works and it works well. It has incredible range and sensitive. It detects cars and other moving objects crossing your path a sec or so before they even enter your field of view.

While backing up, the alarm will go off, I stomp on the brakes, look around and sec later a car drives by. Holy cow... where did that car from? It's like magic or foresight or something. lol

and yes I do look around before backing out. I'm not a careless driver. lol
