Default reverse warning sensors - anybody have them?

i'm curious if anybody installed these. i don't think they're that expensive and might be a convient mod. i appreciate any input.

thanks

Looks like someone has a new project now that their HIDs are finished

Lots of cheapy ones at eBay ($30.00+) . I dunno, I though of getting them, but the cheapness might be a sign that the quality isn't so good with these aftermarket units (Primarily made in Hongkong or Taiwan.). Maybe someone who bought them and installed them on their tC could chime in???

I have them (my mom made me get them). I think they're really helpful when reversing, I'm pretty sure you guys know how it works. The closer you are to hitting an object the faster the beeping sound is, if you're about to hit the object the beeping goes solid which basically means to stop reversing. The sound can get kind of annoying, but you can lower the volume of the beeping. If you have any specific questions let me know and I'll look it up in the manual.



^ There's a picture of my tC and my brother's car. You can see the two little black dots, those are what they look like on light silver.

I love back up sensors. I work at a Lincoln Mercury dealership and its really helpful when you have to back the cars into tight spots.

your cruel. If you show this stuff, you gotta state, company, model, and price at minimum.

^ I live in Hawaii, and I got my rear sensors installed by Scion when I ordered my car. The brand that makes the rear sensor equipment is called EchoMaster. The flat price for them was $395 (and installation was free since I bought the sensors at the same time I bought the car itself).

Rostera brand backup sensors can accually be mounted behind a bumper.(if your bumper isn't metal) They have a beeper waring and a mountable red/yellow/green led light.
