General Number plate reverse parking sensor
Your male why do u need one!
They are the cheap answer but not the best answer.
They do not pick up as much as the regular 4 sensor set up, and do not find things that are at the rear outer edges of the car.
I could never have confidence in reversing parking sensors like these.

Mine came standard on the car, and they are great. I hardly ever turn to look behind me now when reversing, which is bad.
or get the strip type system which needs no drilling its a special silver foil strip that sticks on the back of your bumper do a search it came up not too long back

Wow that looks good, as standard parking sensor are so ugly.
I am not 100% sure they are reliable as i havnt heard of them before and no car manufactures that i know of use this style of sensor.
So do you know of anyone that has used these? are they any good?
Id personally stay clear of the electromagnetic parking sensors, we looked at selling them at work, we had a couple of people test them, and to say the least we werent impressed, they have issues with picking up items that are wood or plastic, and also dont appear to give warnings particularly reliably when reversing slowly (which lets be honest theres not many people who park going fast)

You seriously need a diagram to take off your rear bumper?

wish i had spotted this earlier :bang: ordered one today Then again i'm getting the uprated one as i have a towbar which uses 2 separate antenna's

which is the only reason i went with it most reversing sensors will see the towbar (even the proper fiat factory fit)
Do you mean "Picking them up" or "Picking them up"? I'd hate to arrive at work with the rear of my car covered in lollypop sticks, twigs and Evianne bottles. I would have thought these electromagnetic sensors were more likely to pick up empty cans and exhaust systems.
