Parking Sensors 

Parking sensors are the perfect solution if you want added confidence in judging the size of your vehicle. They can offer a simple beep or a discreet display to guide you. Check out this page to explore the various options available. Plus, they don’t have to look out of place. Our sensors are designed to blend seamlessly with your car, as if they were installed by the manufacturer.

Types of Parking Sensors

Lip Style Front and Rear Rear Sensors 

These sensors offer a more affordable option. They mount from the outside of the bumper, creating a small lip. As shown in the photo above, when color-matched, they can still look sleek and tidy.

Towbar and Spare wheel exclusion 

f you have a spare wheel on the tailgate or a towbar installed, you'll need intelligent sensors. These sensors are designed to prevent your towbar or spare wheel from being mistakenly detected as an obstacle behind your vehicle.

OEM Style Front and Rear Sensors

OEM-style sensors are the premium option. They mount from behind the bumper and feature just a small ring around them, giving a factory-installed appearance. While they function the same as lip-style sensors, they offer a more discreet and seamless look.

Parking Sensors Displays

Instead of just a beep, you can choose to add a display as well, available for both front and rear sensors. The display uses color coding: it starts green when you're far away, turns orange as you get closer, and turns red when you're near the center.

Parking Sensor Controls

Rear sensors are activated when you shift into reverse. If you tow a trailer, we can add a switch to disable the rear sensors, preventing them from activating while you're reversing.

For front sensors, there are a few options to control them:

  • Ignition-controlled: The sensors are on whenever the engine is running. ( Not recommend)

  • Manual switch: You can turn them on or off using a switch in the dashboard area.

  • Speed-controlled (additional cost applies): The sensors activate automatically when your speed drops below a certain threshold.
