Thank you for the great feedback 🙂

I'll be truthful Ted, i really need a neighbour like you! I'm considering buying similar set but no visual aid, just the audio,for my 2003 Honda Civic but my mechanic ignored my text asking if he could fit them, I'd love them but struggling to find an trustworthy person who'd be experienced and confident to fit them. Watching you do it so calmly is encouraging but I'm no good with the electrical side. I'll probably just keep sticking me head out or asking a complete stranger to bang on the rear window when I'm very close! Great vid mate!

Thanks for the great feedback Charlie. The head out of the window technique is still very effective 🙂

Thank you so much for making this video, Ted! It's folks like you that make the world go round.

No, we Yanks also call those "bumpers." The "fenders" are the areas of the car body surrounding the wheels. Good video.

I was apprehensive before fitting the first one but it was easier than I expected. Good luck 🤞

You make it look very easy I think I would struggle with the soldering!

Soldering is just fiddly. Try practicing with some old wires and you will soon get the hang of it.

If you need parking sensors on a Yaris or fiesta you need to hand in your licence, I’ve an old quashqai for almost 4 years and the parking sensors stopped working after fortnight after purchase so I’ve used my built in parking sensors since, my brain and eyes they never failed me yet.

one of the most useful video on the topic subject .. thank you Sir.

Great priced units, but it looks a little bit too much effort to me, I'll just continue to have my wife hang her head out of the back window making 'beeping' noises that progressively get louder and louder as my rear end heads for the lamp post or walls. Great video all the same sir :)

Get her to stand behind the car. It will give her more of an incentive not to misjudge the distance between the car and wall 😉

So hows it going so far then ?...is the minimum distance enough before the continuous beeping that indicates you are very close ?....how much ia that diatance?

I'm very happy with these sensors. Both are still working well. The continuous beeping starts when you get within approx 30cm/12 inches. They must be good, my daughter hasn't hit anything since I installed them 😁

Hi Ted How they sensors holding up after a year?

Great video. I wonder if these kits would be suitable for a Renault Traffic van?

Thanks Simon. Connecting the sensors to the reversing light on a Renault Traffic would be very similar. The only issue I can think of is the length of the wire to the led display. If it's too short there are 3 options a) just rely on the audio alarm b) extend the length of the wire c) there are ( more expensive) kits which have a wireless connection between the audio box and a separate led display which you power from the cigarette lighter.

I get confused on the splitting the rear power from the light lol. Solder? :(

nice video

Yes, you just need to identify the positive feed to the reversing light

Alright that’s perfect thanks a lot, I just had one last question, do you put the parking sensors in a certain order or it doesn’t matter as in I can seem to tell the difference in lettering between any of the sensors
