Dents to the bumpers or underbody panels can happen all too easily when parking in unfamiliar places, thanks to low walls and bollards. Far worse is the chance of a child stepping out behind you to cross the road as you are about to reverse. Parking Sensor Systems are electronic guidance and warning systems that assist with safe reversing and also parking with ease and confidence. We offer a comprehensive range of professional systems to suit the majority of vehicles at affordable prices. Parking Sensor Systems utilise a set of sensor eyes that can be fitted to the rear or front bumpers of the vehicle.

Rear Parking Sensors

rear_parking_sensors_pdc_fittedAll our parking sensors systems utilise ultrasonic technology. The eyes sense the proximity of an object up to approximately 1.5 meters away from the rear of the vehicle and compute the exact position of the object.
The rear parking sensors are automatically activated when reverse gear is selected. An audible indication is given every time the sensors are selected to inform that that they are working.

Different audible indications are given depending on how close to the object your vehicle is. The further away the vehicle is, the slower the beep. The first warning zone begins at approx. 1.2 metres with a slow audible beep and becomes progressively quicker and shorter as the vehicle moves closer to an object. When the rapid audible warning beep changes to a constant tone, the vehicle is at a distance of approx 0.45 metres indicating that you should stop.

Our parking sensors can also be programmed to ignore fixed objects on the vehicle, including towbars, spare wheels and bike racks.parking_sensor_diagram

Parking sensors can be colour coded to match the vehicles bumper for seamless installation.

As well as offering flush-fitted sensors to cars, we also offer a number of specialist sensors for fitment to vehicles such as motor homes, pick-ups, lorries and towed vehicles.

Please contact us for an installed price.

Front Parking Sensors

Front parking sensors are essentailly the same as rear parking sensors (described above).

With front parking sensors, when first gear is selected and the brake is depressed, the sensors will activate for 8 seconds. If no obstruction is picked up by the eyes, the sensors will automatically switch off. If an obstruction is picked up, the sensors will remain activated and give the audible tones describe above. A switchparking sensors colour coded is also fitted in a discreet location so the system can be over-ridden if necessary.

Sensors come as standard in black but can be colour coded to match you vehicle, for a small additional cost.

An LED dash display or interior mirror display are also available.

Parking Sensor Display Options

Electronic Display with two LED bars made in car manufacturer OE style plastic housing.

The LED colours are relative to distance and there is an integral buzzer for audible signal.

The parking sensor display can be mounted in a variety of positions:

> Dashboard
> Rear parcel shelf
> Close to the rear view mirror (interior lamp)
> To the vehicle headlining

(We use a number of quality parking sensor manufacturers, do display may differ from the one pictured.)


OEM Optical Parking Sensors

vw optical parking sensor systemWe can retrofit the original Park Pilot system on the front and back of many Audi & VW vehicles including optical park system OPS.

The optical display is shown on the factory head unit screen (see example image). Depending upon closeness of the obstacle the respective range changes optically with the well-known acoustic support.

After installation we code the system using specialist diagnostic software. Sensors can be painted in the colour of the car.

Reversing Camera Systems

We offer reversing camera systems for many vehicles including cars, LCV's, HGV's, caravans and motorhomes. There are many different camera and monitor systems available, depending upon the application. It is also possible to integrate with existing factory head units in some vehicles.

The example images below show:

1. Side view camera - available in white, black, chrome and silver.
2. Camera mounted in number plate light on Skoda Yeti
3. Full camera system with bumper mounted camera, dash-monitor and parking sensors.
