    As the title says, I'm looking to get a front bumper that keeps the blind spot monitors. What's available?

    OK cool. I wasn't sure.

    Nope, I'm just an idiot.

    Your 2017 (on your sig) doesn't have any of that. I'm assuming you got a newer rig

    If you look behind your rear bumper on both corners you will see a harness plugged into a small, grey box (maybe a bit bigger and thicker than a pack of playing cards). That grey box is what sends out a signal and if anything breaks the plane it sends a signal to your Taco's brain which then lights up the BSM indicators. You can easily see them if you crawl up under your bumper and look at the rear corners of the vehicle.

    The reason aftermarket bumpers are usually not BSM compatible is because the BSM cannot pass a signal through steel, it can only work with materials like plastic.
