A Car Parking Sensor Is Not Just for Luxury Brand Vehicles

Posted by Amrit Mirpuri on March 10th, 2017

Parking sensors are standard in many luxury brand vehicles, but you don’t need to buy a luxury car to enjoy its many perks. In fact, you can install a car parking sensor in your current vehicle to ease your parking woes. The sensor is positioned on the bumper to let you know of any obstacles around your car, making it a handy safety feature especially for vehicles with large blind spots and drivers who typically have difficulty parking. Car parking sensors can be especially helpful when parking in tight spaces or when parallel parking. You can purchase a high-quality parking sensor from a reputable car accessory store online.

Note that while car parking sensors may be helpful, they cannot by themselves eliminate all hazards associated with parking. It might be a good idea to invest in additional systems, like a backup camera if you want to minimize the risk of accidents when backing up.  Are you worried about price? Don’t be—these accessories are never as expensive as you think. There are reasonably priced and high-quality ultrasonic and electromagnetic car parking sensor kits you can install by yourself or with help from a professional, and they won’t break the bank.

When choosing a car parking sensor, be sure to look up the options in a reputable retailer of car accessories online and compare the different brands and features. Make sure that the product is suitable for your vehicle type. Consider factors like your budget, whether you prefer wired or wireless sensors, your desired feedback method, amount of coverage required, and where you intend to place the sensors. If you have recently purchased a new model of a car, check to see if wiring systems for parking sensors have been pre-installed. If your vehicle has a metal bumper, a spare wheel mounted on the back, or a tow bar, make sure that the car parking sensor is compatible with it. Manufacturers usually describe vehicle parts that are incompatible with certain types of sensor kits.

Parking sensors are usually supplied in sets of eight, six, four, or two sensors. The more sensors there are, the better the coverage. Ultrasonic parking sensors typically have six or four sensors for your bumper, and they are designed to withstand all weather conditions. Electromagnetic parking sensors are to be fitted on the bumper’s inner side, and they provide great protection and coverage, too.
