yes i have got a meter but still unsure of what wires to connect to and where i can find them as to not be unsightly
Hi, did you manage to fit your reverse sensor system & find out what colour the (live +) reverse wire was?
fitting an aftermart one may invalidate any warrenty left on your car
Why? You're only taking a feed off the reversing light? At worst they invalidate issues with this and as far as I am aware the last time anybody had a problem with the reverse light was 1978

you can get a metal type strip that goes inside your bumper - no need to drill holes and match paint in the bumper
look at my next post

(as i have a towbar the normal ultrasonic sensors wont work and i didn't fancy drilling my bumper)

Any body have any idea how difficult it would be fitting one of these kits to a Bravo? Is taking the rear bumper off a big / lengthy job?
Also Andy - how loud is the Parking Dynamics kit? A friend has got a Bravo with the standard parking sensors and you can hardly hear it if the radio's on at normal volume.

That looks really handy as I don't want to drill my bumper , and it's cheaper than a dealer fitted kit as well.
