FAQs

1. How much does it cost to retrofit a truck with Bendix Wingman Advanced or Wingman Fusion at Betts Truck Parts & Service?

Pricing varies by system type and vehicle configuration.

Bendix Wingman Advanced: typically $5,300 to $5,600 installed
Bendix Wingman Fusion: typically $7,100 to $7,500 installed

As a Bendix Authorized Upgrade Center (AUC), Betts installs systems that meet factory specifications and maintain warranty coverage.

2. What is the difference between Bendix Wingman Advanced and Bendix Wingman Fusion, and which system do most fleets choose?

Wingman Advanced: radar-based adaptive cruise and collision-mitigation braking on moving vehicles.
Wingman Fusion: integrates radar and camera systems for lane-departure warnings, stationary-object braking, and advanced AEB functions.

Fleets upgrading multiple vehicles often choose Wingman Fusion for its added camera-based safety features and broader protection capabilities.

3. How long does a typical Bendix Wingman retrofit take, and can Betts TPS perform installations on-site for fleet customers?

Betts TPS performs both in-shop and mobile installations.

Wingman Advanced: 2 to 3 hours
Wingman Fusion: 4 to 5 hours

Certified retrofit technicians complete most installations faster than standard Bendix estimates using proprietary diagnostic tools. Fleet operators can schedule installations at Betts branches or request mobile service for added convenience.

4. What vehicles qualify for a Bendix Wingman upgrade through Betts TPS, and how can I confirm if my truck is eligible?

Eligibility depends on OEM, model year, and electrical or brake configuration. Betts verifies eligibility by reviewing your VIN and build sheet.

5A. Can Betts TPS install BlindSpotter on non-FedEx (regular) trucks?

Potentially, yes — Betts TPS can evaluate and retrofit Bendix BlindSpotter (or equivalent BlindSpotter side-radar systems) on eligible trucks, depending on the make, model, year, and vehicle electronic architecture.
However:

  • Not all trucks qualify — compatibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
  • Retrofit installation must be done by Bendix-certified technicians and use approved components.
  • Costs, calibration requirements, wiring, and mounting may vary significantly by vehicle.
  • BlindSpotter is currently more commonly referenced in FedEx retrofit programs, but it is part of Bendix’s broader retrofit offering for fleets.

Note: Bendix BlindSpotter is a side-radar blind-spot monitoring system that complements – but does not replace – the Bendix Wingman Advanced and Wingman Fusion forward-collision-mitigation systems. The two technologies address different types of on-road risks and may be specified separately depending on fleet requirements.
