As far as we are concerned, the parking sensors One of the best inventions of recent times. When your car is equipped with parking sensors, you no longer have to rely on your own judgment. This is especially useful if you've just bought a new car, because you don't yet know exactly how far you can drive. With parking sensors, you know exactly how much space you have left at both the front and the back of your car. Parking sensors offer countless advantages, and we'd like to share them with you!
While parking sensors used to be limited to luxury cars, nowadays there are many different types of parking sensors. You can find these at Car audio giant Buy now from €24.95. The biggest advantage of these parking sensors is that they detect not only obstacles in front of and behind your car, but also that one low post that's just below your mirror. So not only does it save you from expensive repairs, but it also makes parking a lot easier!
The reversing sensors activate as soon as you engage reverse gear. They emit an ultrasonic or electromagnetic signal. The signals bounce off approaching objects, and if the sensor receives them back too quickly, it issues a warning. These are audible signals, the frequency of which increases as you approach an object.
Systems can also provide visual signals. These include LCD or LED lights that flash more rapidly when approaching obstacles, or warnings via the backlit LED display. These sensors are typically located on the rear bumper.
Parking sensors are a must-have if you regularly park in busy cities and parking garages. Parking spaces are becoming increasingly tight, as they allow for more cars to fit within the available space. Where you used to have plenty of space, you now have to make do with less than 25 cm on either side of your car. Especially when turning or parking without parking sensors, this requires a great deal of judgment, knowledge, and experience.
Modern cars now come standard with parking sensors at both the front and rear. Most cars only have sensors at the rear, as it's more difficult to judge the rear. In principle, rear parking sensors are more than sufficient. Want to be absolutely sure you park your car without causing any damage? Then you can also opt to have front parking sensors installed.
You can, of course, install parking sensors yourself if you have the right tools, parts, and manuals. However, it's crucial to be extremely careful. In most cases, you'll need to drill holes into the bumper, which can easily go wrong. Therefore, we recommend having the parking sensors installed.
