Parking sensor kits

The positioning of the sensors is quite important. If they are fitted as an extra to your model, copy those positions carefully.

Bought a set of four on Ebay, about £15 IIRC. Work perfectly, even for a single post. Didn't bother with the dashboard display bit. Can't really see the point unless you're deaf. I see Rimmer Bros offer a similar looking set for £85 so prices can vary !

After an amusing experience at work involving the MD, a coach and a wall, remember that they do not automatically apply the brakes. ;-)

ROFL

I was interested to see that some of the DIY ones rely on putting on the brakes (i.e. brake lights) to power the front sensors, which struck me as a bit daft (unless they have a decent capacitor in there so that you only have to dab the brakes to give the control box a bit of life).

Thanks, not sure if they are. Will have a look round

I'd come to the same conclusion, although if you do want it, the extra tenner or so for wireless saves a lot of grovelling around.

Thanks

Mine has a dash display too which is pointless. So all you actually need is the bleeper. That can be situated at the back of the car, so no need for wireless.
