I put a sensor in my GS3 that uses a microwave strip inside the bumper - NO drilling - works a treat

We sell the cobra one with 4 sensors. They work great.

I fitted parking sensors to mine a while ago i have 3 at the rear and 2 at the front ( i park in a tight space), i had to remove the front and rear bumpers and drill a few holes, it was easy but time consuming. ill get some pics later for you.

I've had the lexus ones fitted by my dealer, and they are crap. You either stop miles from the obstruction or hit it. (got the damaged bumper to prove it). They make a noise which you have a terrible job hearing and give no useful sense of distance, hense the damage.
Hi Dave

If you are having problems hearing your parking sensors,there is now a modification out which could solve your problem

Basically it extends the bleeper cables so the bleeper can be heard clealy at the front

PART NUMBER 08529-44800 Costs about £16.00+VAT +Fitting

Ask Your Local Dealer about fitting it

on my first IS I had a 2 sensor type fitted & they really were poo!! But ive got a four sensor one now that is pretty good! They are loads better & more accurate than the others...I think it's more of a case of getting to know how they work...have really been interested in getting front one's..anybody know if they are worth getting??
