help!! Back up sensor

chocolatebean

I just got a new car and have difficulty to judge the distance for back up parking...i was wondering will it be good to install a back up sensor? if so, any recommandations for what and where to get it?? thx..^^

Depends on which back up sensor. Some back up sensor is VERY sensitive that it beeps way ahead of time, when I stop the car and peek, it still has  quite a distance before I hit....
Sometimes, it will beep very loud when the car is close to a column or light pole...

So generally speaking, I think the back up sensor does confuse me lor... so I prefer to get used to back up parking rather than relying on the sensor...especially Canada parking spots is not that small compare to Asia

After market ones often very ugly, check if you can get it from the factory.

From factory? You mean the ones come with the car?
I don't know but the back sensor in my accord is VERY loud and confusing...
whereas the one come with my brother's Lexus seems to be better, not that loud and confusing...

Then again, I don't think we need back sensor in NA since our parking spot are quite roomy

But if you have a nice brand you can recommend, please share since I really hate the one come with the accord... I want to change it with something else...if possible...

Factory installed sensor looks more pleasing than those black rubber sensor at the rear if you ask me.

I don't think a backup sensor is neccessary for a seden because these days cars have lots of windows for clear view. Unlike a Van, where the vision is very limited.

My Odyssey has backup sensor, it is very sensitive that when someone tries to walk by, it will beep. I think it's better to be sensitive just in case.

in this case i think back up cam is actually for you ..
