Do you use your camera for hooking up a boat hitch? I'm wondering how well it works for this. I will gladly spend the money if it does what I need it to do (hook up my boat trailer at night), but I'm hesitant to spend the money and then find out it was wasted.
 
Which camera are you using? Thanks for the info...
 
ciao,
Marc

Sorry to check in so infrequently.
 
I have never used the camera to align a trailer hitch, but would expect it to be extremely effective if it is mounted behind or near the license plate.
 
I have been impressed by the width of the field. As you back up to another vehicle parking, you can see the complete front end until you are within a couple of feet of it. If you can't see it all, stop!
 
Best of Luck--Bill

Parking Sensor by delsy

Hello,
  
I have intention to install on the back bumper of my car a sensor that detects the obstacles; the last time I was reversing I did 250 $ of damage, therefore sailing on internet I found two typologies of sensor: one with four ultrasonic transducers, and another with only an aluminium tape. Owing to the fact that I have not intention to do holes on my bumper I would prefer the second invisible solution. For this reason I wish ask first a your opinion.
Here is the link of the producer: http://www.proxel.com
  
Waiting for anybody who can give me an answer.
  
Bye!

well if you are only going to back into things that are metal, probably a nice solution (assuming it works as advertised).
 
What about that neighbor kid?

The one you posted looks pretty good, but I didn't see where it was being sold in the US or a price.
And the distance it shows is awful tight.
80cm is less than 3 feet.
 
You might take a look at this one.

It is a license plate frame unit that mounts easily.
At 6' distance, the sensor will be active in a 6' area.

We use Ecco smart alarms or 600 series on all of our dump trucks.
Most of our drivers like the Smart Alarm SA917, because it tones down in quiet areas.
And they have a lifetime warranty.

Is Wireless Parking Sensor Systems good ? by bmwlife

I bought the reversing warning sensor from http://www.carsda.com , over 9 months it works still ok .
 
And I want to buy the wireless parking aid for my brother.
The carsda guy said currently the wireless parking sensor systems is with a wireless display, that is, there is no wiring between the display and the control unit. much easier to install .
 
But i am afraid that is it able to work as well as the common ones?
 
Anybody has the experience ,please tell me . thanks !

In large vehicles such as minivans and SUVs, it's difficult to get a sense of what's behind you when you're backing up. This can be a dangerous problem if there are small children around, such as when you're picking up your child after school or sports practice. Rear parking sensors (sometimes called Rear Park Assist) ensure that you're made aware of objects behind you when the vehicle is in reverse. Usually, notification comes via audible beeps, but some systems use pillar-mounted light displays as well. Some manufacturers have gone a step beyond sensors by installing a rear-mounted camera that projects an image onto the vehicle's navigation screen whenever the vehicle in put in reverse. The Commercial Fleet Products website has both Rear Parking sensors and Rear-mounted Camera systems. Commercial Fleet Products
