We have 130k on our '16 EX-L. My wife loves Lanewatch, and has said she on't drive another car without it. She will likely be driving for at least 20 more years, so I am not sure if that will be possible. I read somewhere that lanewatch got discontinued due to lawsuits in Europe. I have the blind-spot sensors on my 2024 Outback Limited XT, which are nice but lanewatch is better.

I've been happy with the blind spot monitoring on our Elite. I like the location of the warning light inside - not on the mirror. A warning light on the mirror blends in with all the other headlights on our Volt and makes it pretty useless.

With properly adjusted mirrors, none of it is needed though. When a vehicle leaves the mirror it is directly next to you. Blind spot monitoring is only the final check.

Basically, you lean out and adjust the left mirror until you just see the side of the van, then lean right and do the same on the right. You can see all you need to see to the side and behind you with no extra cameras or mirrors...

The only vehicle I drive that this doesn't work really well for is my '89 Camry, but it has TINY mirrors and great visibility through all the glass.

yikes.... enough pieces of that mirror are destroyed to make it not worth repairing.

if it was just the housing that was broken and the glass a repair would of been <200.

the base looks broken, or is just the picture?

I just looked on car-parts.com and for your trim, mirror assemblies in grade A can be had for between 200-400 bux.

Would try calling yards in your area first, they might be able to do better.

 

If you have the blind spot camera that activates with turn signal, that IS lanewatch.

I replaced one of these on a 2016 SE about 2 or 3 years ago for my neighbor. The labor to replace a lanewatch vs non-lanewatch camera is about the same, only difference is the calibration which is super easy. I got an aftermarket black one for under $300. It worked fine, but I felt the glass vibrated a little more at high speeds than I would have liked. This is a common issue with aftermarket rearview mirrors.

 

The calibration looks easy enough, but my main question is whether I can buy a part without the camera without causing problems?

And do you know if all mirrors for a 2016 Odyssey will fit if I don't care about the lanewatch and it's just a question of different ones having features like camera, heated, power folding etc, or do I need a part made specifically for the SE?

I am used to turning my head to look at my blind spot so really never use that camera, doesn't seem worth the difference of $100 vs $300 for the part. (I had thought lanewatch was a more advanced thing that notifies you when you're drifting out of the lane, thanks for clarifying)

 

how badly destroyed?
The components in the mirror are replaceable.
Pictures are helpful.

Alternatively, you could also just order a color matched grade A used one from car-parts.com if you want to avoid retail dealer prices.

it will store a DTC in the PCM regardless, but likely no dash light.

 

Here's pics. It isn't quite as destroyed as I'd thought, the white part that adjusts the mirror still seems to function normally from the controls on the driver's side door.

Can I order the outer pieces individually? And would you recommend that with so much missing, or is it easier to just get the whole part? I found this set of parts that might be what's missing (minus the glass), but there are several places that sell the whole mirror assembly for less than that
