Has anyone bought one of these?
I put one very similar onto my dads van years ago.
One wire goes to the positive and one to negative side of a revers light.
Beeper mounted somewhere local
Simple
Sensors are place in or under bumper
Not plugging, exactly, as it's usually wired into the reversing light circuit. So you'd need to make a connection to that and earth. Usually pretty easy though, given access to the reversing lights.
If you want the LED function, you'll need to get the display to the front of the car, since with a good reversing sensor there's not so much need to look over your shoulder - you can rely on the mirrors more. But I found the LEDs a waste of time - all that's really needed is the bleeper.
The most difficult part might be fitting the sensors neatly. On the unit I have, it involved drilling holes in the rear bumper.
I'm slightly concerned about only two sensors - mine has four, as have all the factory fitted ones I've seen.
Did you have to drill the bumpers or anything?
Here is a review I found.
Good luck,
Chris D.
I also found these guys who look OK.
