The RHD blind spot mirror from japan will not help the driver if installed in a LHD car. Just wondering if any European owners have them in a LHD car purchased in Europe.
It won't fit the EU or North America version. The side view mirrors are same as Prius IV in Japan; however, the one in Europe and North America is same as Corolla, Camry, and Avalon.
Nah..:wink2::wink2: just noticed that accidentally. There're lots of differences between North America and EU version. Toyota had redesigned the front bumper, engine, lights, airbags, and Isofix...even the rear bumper reinforcement is different. So, we have to pay more attention to the accessories we purchase on eBay or Amazon.

That presumes you got BSM. I didn't. I've almost had 6 accidents in a month. That car has the worst blind spots of anything I've ever experienced. You can't see in the mirrors and you can't see by turning your head. I can't believe that Toyota didn't include BSM in the base model give how truly bad the blind spots are. I fully expect to have wrecked that car before the loan is paid off.
Have you, or anyone else been able to find anything that works well and is hopefully stylish?
I haven't. I can't believe Toyota doesn't offer one, even as an add-on.
The North American C-HR has the worst blind spots of any car I've ever driven. You can't see in the mirrors and you can't see by turning your head because of the rear design of the car.
It is unconscionable to me that Toyota didn't include BSM as a standard feature due to their horrible "I can't see out" design.
Sadly I didn't pay for the BSM upgrade and now I fear the car won't make it to the term of the loan if I don't do something about it. I've already had a number of close calls (about 6) and I've only had the car for about a month.
Your options are kind of limited in terms of doing something aftermarket. I think the cheapest and most simple option will be to install a wide angle blind spot mirror into the corner of your existing mirrors. It's not exactly "stylish" but it will help you in preventing future close calls.
Wow! Zbyra! AWESOME! I've been wrestling with this issue since I recd my car months ago! Those look perfect... How do you make your own mirrors?! I'd love to make a set (or better still... I pay you to make them for me lol)!
I knew someone else would come to the same conclusion aha. Love that they follow the shape of the existing mirrors, looks way better than the aftermarket options.
Trying to decide to buy 2020 model now or wait to see if 2021 model comes out with D-CVT, a tranmission that Toyota plans to put into 80% of it cars by 2023.
I have a 2019 C-HR. After I changed into summer tires the TPSW light blinked and stayed on. I suspect this got something to do with registering the tire pressure sensors. Manual said go to Toyota service. Hate to pay for that.
Anyone know how to fix this. Please.

Dear forum members,

I'm thinking about putting a...
