Review on πŸš— Enhance Parking Safety with EKYLIN Car Auto Vehicle Reverse Backup Radar System: Distance Detection, LED Display & Sound Warning (Blue Color) by Lonnie Batch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Save a lot of money at the dealer. But plan plan plan.

Can't beat the price and it's easy to install. I just wish the range was a little longer (but that's still good) and the cables were pre-labeled - read on if you need help installing them. I installed them on my 2008 Escape XLT. The blue was very close to blue on the car. I spent most of my time planning and comparing height and width with other cars like mine to drill holes. After everything was marked, I drilled with the supplied drill bit. It was very easy to do. Make sure you also check behind the bumper so you don't drill anything you shouldn't. Splicing with the reverse light was very easy. If your wires are thick enough, try a connector, it's easy to do. If you are running wires from the bumper through the car, make sure you have a wire harness cover to protect them. Take tape or a tag and label the wires with the letters of each sensor. They won't be tagged, eliminating the need to keep track of them. Then all you have to do is mount the display to your rear view mirror and run the wires through the fairing (most panels should pop out - check YouTube if you need it). Then simply attach the wires in a small open area near the ceiling. If you don't have anything to secure them at the moment, you can keep them on with a sun visor.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
