Review on πŸš— Universal Auto Reversing Sensors Kit with LED Display and Beep-Beep Alarm Indicator - 4-Parking Car Parking Sensor System for Reverse Backup Radar Detection by Rod Evans

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works pretty well. Not easy to install on some cars.

It's designed to fit into something like your car's sheet metal, about 1/16 inch thick. Metal. My bumper had a rubberized part so it was too thick to clip on. I used some super glue and glued it in the drilled holes. Toyota design to get to the wires you need. The kit itself is very easy to install if your car doesn't look like a swiss watch. After spending hours stripping the panels to get to my reverse light wiring, I closed a spare cable that I had lying around (cable gauge 22, approx. 1 meter long) in one of the plus cables of the reversing lights. Then I routed the wire along the trunk lid to the top hinges. I routed the wire into the car through a grommet that the existing wiring ran through. I installed the power module from this kit next to the spare tire hanger and jack. I connected the wire coming from the positive reverse light to the power module positive wire (red). I then grounded the wire to a nearby stud that had a good ground. If you have a car with a tailgate, you can install sensors in the tailgate itself. I had to route the wiring from the bumper to the spare tire area and into the power box. To do this I had to cut a hole at the end of the car, but I covered it with tape. If you know, how to deal with vehicles, you can generally install this relatively easily. Wiring isn't complicated It's just logistics to get the wiring where it belongs. I had to remove a lot of trim and drill a new hole in the car if you go through the bumper.
