hmm... actually i think no need to fix sensor lah

the sound can get irritating at times and its also not 100% accurate...

think use the good old method ... turn your head...look at the mirrors... is best

i got it becos its free and i negotiate hard for it cos i dont want the SA to earn to much ... Do you guys know that actually, reverse sensor, fog light, V-cool and other accessories are actually free. If you dont ask... the SA will just act blur....end of the day those freebies will add into their profit

[Melted]

hmm didnt know v cool was free... tried to ask for tt but SE die die dun wnana give

say he doesnt give v cool BOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Psfong]

that's quite true, i have already got 1 dent at my rear bumper, right in the center. obviously, the sensor can't detect a anything that's in the center.

 

Also, i noticed that if u reversed out down a slope, the sensor will think that u have hit "something" in the back. Its not intelligent enough to distingush the wall or the floor.

Bro, I had sensors fitted on my Aveo from a shop located at the junction of Bradell Road and Upper Serangoon Road. The charged me $80/- including installation. SA sub-contracts the sensors installation, hifi, keyless to them. Good service and reasonable pricing!

[Godfinger]

Aveo dont have keyless entry.

The term Keyless means many to others :

 

1) Controller integrated to key ( Optra )

 

2) Infra proximity sensor ( March K-12)

 

3) Mercedes Keyless Go system

 

4) Keycard ignition.

 

Alarm system is alarm system.

Keyless system is somehow confused within

manufacturer.

 

I would say Keyless system is those found

on Nissan March ( k12 ) Cefiro and Renault

and those car which is w/o ignition key.

I just installed the Ren sensor with LCD. I can say no regret ! The sensor is very accurate as I came out from my car and do a few measurement. The LCD shows 4 side of yr car Front Right, Front Left, Back Right & Left with measurement from 1m - 0.3m and also a red Stop warning sign once u reaches 0.2m. Very Fun and no more worries in Parallel Parking anymore ! At least for Parking GoonDoo like me !

Clap! Clap! Clap! Congrats on your new toy! Would love to check out your car one day!

 

What's the damage$ like? Can the front sensor be switched off if needed?

[Optra]

Bro ! actually u no need to switch off the front. Before installing heard alot of ppl saying freaking noisy ,when stopping before traffic light ppl walking by Kao Pey Kao Bu and things like that. All Bull `Swit" lah ! The front sensor is especially useful when u are in crowded places cos squeezing in and out is like a Pro man ! BTW I dont think can switch off ???

ehh... so where did u mount the lcd screen to?

mine is a mazda 2, not much place for mounting.

[Optra]

The LCD is quite small in size. Just place beside ur IU as shown below. Should be no pro.

 

[Tokwc]

hi,

do u need to drill the bumper to install the sensor?

if yes, how's their workmanship?

[Optra]

Yes .This is not the sticker type. the workmanship is fine. but if yr car is not black in colour u need to pay for the paint cost which is $30. to a total of $200 including installation.
