After market reverse sensors-Recommendations

[Alshymer]

Hi
Can anyone give any recommendations for the above?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks

I'd not bother, a bit ambiguous as best, a downward facing camera is better.

I've fitted loads of these cheap ones with no problems.

Here's a video I made about one.

The best and safest reverse sensor is a human being.

All children are born with the ability to beam themselves into a blind spot.

A German once reversed his MoHo into my 1250cc motorcycle (much larger than a child) which he didn't notice on his camera screen and which was not detected by his reverse sensors.

His wife was sat in the passenger seat using her phone.

I fitted one of these kits a couple of years ago

Pardon our interruption...

Thanks.
I had heard that Dolphin were quite good.
Can you clearly hear them? I take it that the buzzer is in a garage?
I do have a camera but think it worth having sensors too.
Would you recommend?

I fitted Dolphin excellent product.
They even supply the correct drill bit.
The hardest part was connecting to the reversing light due to it being difficult to get into in our van.
If fitting them onto a Fiat once you remove rear bumper cover, look inside and you will find the drilling positions. Took me about an hour to fit. My sounder is on a rear wall just above the reversing light above the bed, and I can clearly hear it with the engine running.

You can locate the sounder anywhere you like, mine is behind the drivers seat

Can't agree with that, asked my wife to help me reverse into a tight gap and needed a new bumper and corner of the motorhome fibre glassed . Camera all the way for me

Upgrade the wife ?

 

[YeoBlade]

I've done the math and it's cheaper to fix the van

Upgrade the wife ?

The M/Home repairs would be cheaper than the divorce costs ...
