Did you guys have a Driver Assistance error after installing aftermarket CF side mirror covers?

[wack]

Wondering if anyone else has experienced a Driver Assistance error caused by installing aftermarket CF side mirror covers?

I got an error and took it to the dealer and they are saying it's caused by the aftermarket side mirror covers. But I find it kind of hard to believe that the mirror housing cover on the front of the housing is causing an issue with a sensor that points backwards...

I admit though, the timing is a bit suspect as I started having this issue not long after installing the mirror covers. I do like these CF covers, so I don't really want to take them off...


Thanks for input

Did you accidently disconnected or damage something?

The only thing that is different is that I didn't hook up the mirror defroster... But I didn't think that would cause any issues... The plug that is for the BSM is hooked up like normal.

These control modules are insane. That's likely it.

I completely replaced my mirrors with aftermarket ones and surprisingly, did not come across any errors. I did lose blind spot monitoring but that was expected though.

I'm quite surprised to find out that the mirror housing cover could cause this problem
