Blind Spot Mirrors

The ORVMs in the RDX is not so great and does not give good coverage. Can anyone recommend a good Blind Spot mirror, that's easily available online??

I have used this system of (permanent) adjustment for decades:


I hope this helps. Compliments of The Society of Automotive Engineers.

I've used mirrors like these for decades and put them on every vehicle I've owned. Far more information and far superior to the the electronic systems that come in modern cars. I never even bother pay any attention to the BSM in my 2016. They are available online or at any auto parts store.

When I worked on cars, it was surprising how awful people have their mirrors set. It’s no wonder people just seem to be oblivious out on the road. Why 1/2 to 2/3 of your mirror needs to be filled up with your own car is beyond me … but that was the most common setting.

I am not surprised. Just realize that some other driver may sit higher or lower or more right or more left. Every driver should adjust mirrors, if necessary, upon starting.

Update: OR further up (toward the steering) wheel or further back.
