Parking Dynamics PD1 Parking Sensor vs. Ultrasonic Sensors

Parking Dynamics has the only electromagnetic parking sensor on the market for a variety of cars. You can purchase a PD1 parking sensor at www.parkingdynamics.co.uk. The BMW parking sensor, Peugeot parking sensors, Lexus parking sensors, and even Audi parking sensors are available at the above website. The PD1 parking sensor does not work on every car and some cars may come from the manufacturer with car parking sensors already installed. However, for the vehicles you need parking sensors on your answer will be Parking Dynamics.

There are two types of parking sensors on the market: the electromagnetic parking sensor and the ultrasonic parking sensor. The ultrasonic parking sensor is an older technology. It was created to produce an ultrasonic sound to bounce of an object that then sends the signal to you in the car. Before the signal can reach you it must go to another parking sensor that will receive the information. The ultrasonic parking sensor set up has 4 to 6 sensors for sending and receiving information. You also have a smaller area the sensor can read for objects in the way.
The electromagnetic parking sensor has a magnetic pulse it sends out to read objects on the entire bumper, including the corners and sides. There are two sensors with the PD1 car parking kit. You have a front parking sensor, and a reversing parking sensor. The sensors are able to send and receive, rather than needing two sensors to send and one to receive like the ultrasonic parking sensor.
Steel Mate and Laserline are ultrasonic parking sensors. The Steel Mate works on metal bumpers, but so does the PD1 car parking sensor. The PD1 just needs a small modification in order to fit to the metal bumper. The electromagnetic parking sensor is also an “invisible when fitted” parking sensor. It is a no holes no drill parking sensor. It will not change the appearance of your bumper in the least. The Ultrasonic parking sensor requires bumper modification and matching paint. As you can see there are several reasons why the electromagnetic parking sensor is the best.

Electromagnetic Reverse Parking Sensors Aid in Parking Safety

Parking safety is a must when driving whether you are concerned about hurting your own car or another person that could be walking near your vehicle. To ensure that you have parking safety in mind you should have an electromagnetic reverse parking sensor and front parking sensor. The PD1 car parking sensor from Parking Dynamics is a revolutionary design that used to be available only through certain car manufacturers.

There are two types of car parking sensors on the market: the ultrasonic parking sensor and electromagnetic parking sensor. The ultrasonic parking sensor has a smaller range and doesn’t work well on the corners of the car. It also comes with 4 to 6 sensors. The ultrasonic parking sensor needs many sensors because some of them read the information and send, and then you need a sensor to receive. 
The electromagnetic reverse parking sensor and front parking sensor uses two sensors: one in the rear and then the front. These two sensors relay and receive information. Furthermore the electromagnetic parking sensor works on the corner of the bumpers and is “invisible when fitted.” You do not need to drill holes into your bumper or find matching paint with the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor. Instead you fit it to the backside of the bumper out of site. It takes just a few minutes to install the parking sensors, and another few minutes to link the sensor to your gear shift and front sensor button.
You may just want the rear parking sensor, which is okay. It will help you with the blind spots, but truly you should have full vehicle coverage for all parking safety. You never know when someone or thing will be at the front of the car when you are looking towards the rear.

Reverse Parking Tips with the PD1 Car Parking Sensor

Parking your car whether you pull into a slot or back in can be a little nerve racking in the tiny spaces we have today. This is why learning a few reversing parking tips can help you avoid damaging your vehicle and have an overall sensor of parking safety. Reversing is the most difficult part of parking or un- parking your vehicle. There are certainly options like the PD1 car parking sensor, which helps you figure out where your bumpers actually out, but what if you want more than just a parking aid?

·         First of all the electromagnetic reversing sensor casts a wide net for the front and back bumper to read objects that may be in your path, but out of sight. A vehicle does have blind spots. 
·         You can position your mirrors to account for some of the blind spots, but this doesn’t always take care of the issue when you are reverse- parking.
·         By relying on the electromagnetic rear parking sensor is not a good thing either. What we mean is that you can listen for the beep to change as you get closer to an object, but you should still keep an eye out in your mirrors for possible road blocks. People are the hardest to keep track of and the parking aids may not pick them up as quickly as they move. 
·         The reverse parking sensor is supposed to tell you when you get closer to an object, but it must read the area by sending a quick signal to you.
Based on these reverse parking tips so far you need to rely both on yourself and the reverse car parking sensors, and not one or the other. A camera system along with the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor is also a great addition to the whole reverse issue.
When you reverse your vehicle you need to keep in mind that looking in the mirrors is better than looking over your shoulder. This allows your hands to turn the wheels accordingly rather than getting confused about the wheel direction you need. The car parking sensor will also help you determine the route your wheel should be turned based on the objects in the way.

How to Fit Parking Sensors like the PD1

Car parking sensors are great to have on a vehicle for many reasons. First your insurance premium may lower because you are providing more safety features on your car. The insurance companies like to see a lower risk for claims, and lesser claims sent in. Anything that can help you negate a claim on your vehicle is more than worth it. You also have the benefit of not getting in an accident, which means you don’t need money to fix your vehicle, especially if you don’t make the deductible in the damage. We have mentioned in other articles what the parking aids will do for you. We have even mentioned in some of these articles how the electromagnetic parking sensors work; however we have only scratched the surface on how to fit parking sensors. At www.parkingdynamics.co.uk you will be able to purchase the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor.

The PD1 parking sensor is an “invisible” when fitted design. This means you do not have to make modifications to your bumper in order to fit your parking sensors. They are a no drill parking sensor. Here is how to fit parking sensors:
Step 1: You will need to remove the bumper to have better access to the inside area of the bumper. Before you remove your bumper though measure from the ground to between 40 and 50cm. The parking sensors must be within that range to work most effectively. You will need to mark the measurement to help you get the parking sensor fitted.
Step 2: Once the bumper is measured and removed you may begin to fit the car parking sensor. You may start with the reverse parking aid, as this could have a metal bar in the way. The bar is a metal crash protection inside the bumper in some vehicles. This can get in the way. You may have to circumvent this by going below or above it.
Step 3: The PD1 parking sensor has an adhesive tape that comes in the PD1 kit. This adhesive tape will allow you to fit the car parking sensor to the back of the bumper. The parking aid will run the entire length of the bumper rather than just one section. This helps for all around protection. The front parking sensor will be fitted in the same manner, but typically you don’t have a metal crash protection bar in the way. Some cars may though, so be prepared to move around it. 
When you ask how to fit parking sensors, you may need to be concerned with the metal bumpers. Some vehicles still have a metal bumper. With just a small modification you can also fit the PD1 car parking sensor to the metal bumper.

How to Parallel Park Using an Electromagnetic Parking Sensor

Parallel parking often incites fear among new drivers, and occasionally individuals who have been driving for years. In the UK there are many streets that require parallel parking, and the streets tend to be very small. If you are worried about damaging your vehicle or another person’s vehicle while parallel parking then you might want to consider the electromagnetic parking sensor. We will begin to look at how to parallel park using the electromagnetic parking sensors by describing what they do, and then how they can help.

The electromagnetic parking sensor will send out a signal in a magnetic field. This magnetic field will read the objects around the vehicle with the car parking sensor. It will be able to tell the driver how close they come to an object in their path. The electromagnetic parking sensor from www.parkingdynamics.co.uk offers a front and rear parking sensor. The reverse parking sensor has three zones. In the three zones the parking sensor tells the driver when they get closer to an object or need to stop before damage occurs.
The front parking sensor will also determine when the driver will need to stop before hitting something ahead of them. The front parking sensor only has two zones. So now you might ask how to parallel park using these electromagnetic parking sensors. 
You know that you must pull up alongside the car in the space in front of the one you want. You should pull up until your passenger window is about halfway between the other car’s side mirror. Then you start to back up, and slowly turn the wheel. You are going to be in almost a 45 degree angle with the curb when your car reaches the halfway mark at the bumper. In other words the bumper of the car in front is out your passenger window. Typically the reverse parking aid will tell you that you are close to the curb behind you, and it could be signalling you to stop. This is good. At this point you start to turn the wheel in the other direction to swing the back end out and move the front in end. This is where the electromagnetic parking sensor or the front parking sensor comes in. You want to be close to the vehicle in front of you, but you want your front bumper to miss it. By using the signals of the front parking senor you can tell if you are to close and need to reposition.
Once the front bumper is in the parking spot you still have to be cautious of the rear bumper of your car and the car behind you.  The reverse parking aid will tell you if you are too close to the car behind you as you straighten out the car. You may also find that you need to pull forward to get in the space straight, which is another instance for the front parking sensor to read your location. 
The electromagnetic parking sensor allows you to park without causing damage when you parallel park.

Garage Parking Aids with the Parking Dynamics PD1

Car parking sensors allow you to keep your vehicle safe in a number of different ways. You may be reversing from your drive way and need to stop. In other instance you might be pulling out of a parking space when another car tries to race by. There are several reasons why you might find garage parking aids and car parking sensors important to your safety. This is why we are going to outline how the garage parking aids work.

To begin the garage parking aids from Parking Dynamics are reverse parking sensors as well as front parking sensors. They will be able to read the area around you to help you avoid any object that could be in your way. There are many cars one the market that have blind spots when backing up or going forward. For example a BMW has a long hood, which could pose a problem for seeing where it ends when backing up or pulling forward. The blind spots you have can make parking in a garage very difficult. To avoid hitting the sides of the garage in either a reverse or forward direction you can place two parking sensors on your vehicle.
The garage parking aids work in two different ways. The front parking sensor will be engaged with a button that fits under the steering wheel. It will offer you two zones for how close you come to an object such as a human, curb, building or even another vehicle. The rear car parking sensor works by engaging as soon as the vehicle is put in reverse. It has three zones to tell you how close you are to any object. By using these sensors you can avoid the sides of your garage building and back out cleanly. You could also park in the garage backwards without any reservations. It may make it easier to leave in the morning. No matter what you need the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor for it is there to help you.

Front Parking Sensors to Ensure Parking Safety

All around vehicle protection is imperative whether you are parking or leaving your car for a couple of hours. You want to make sure that no damage can hurt your vehicle for many reasons. No claims on your insurance can mean you have a lower payment, which is just one reason to have protection on your car. Car parking sensors are another way to protect your car from damage that a driver may incur. For example when teaching a teenager to drive a car there is a lot to worry about regarding claims and damage. So why not help out your teenager with all around protection in the form of parking sensors? 

To give you an idea on how the parking aids work we will first take a look at the PD1 Parking Dynamics kit you might consider purchasing. It is an electromagnetic parking sensor that allows for more protection than the ultrasonic parking sensors. It is also the only hidden parking sensor of its kind. You have two parking sensors with the Parking Dynamics kit.  You have a front parking sensor and a reversing sensor.
The reversing sensor is engaged whenever the car is placed in reverse. It tells you when you get to close to an object that is behind you. The rear reverse sensor will be able to help you avoid incidents with blinds spots, as well as help your teenager learn to drive sensibly.
The front parking sensor is separate from the rear sensor in that you have a button under your dash to engage the forward parking aid. Once the front parking sensor is engaged it will tell you if you are to close when pulling in or backing out of a parking space. You could even engage the front parking sensor in heavy traffic to make sure you are not close to bumpers as you merge onto a busy street.
The front and reverse parking aids have zones that they read to ensure you are not too close to any object be it another car or person.

Reverse Parking Sensors for Optimal Parking Safety

There is a reason commercial trucks have parking sensors. In a commercial truck you have two side mirrors, but often the rear view mirror doesn’t exist. It can make backing up difficult, especially with the many blind spots a commercial vehicle has. The parking sensors are not only for commercial vehicles anymore. The parking sensors can be used on any vehicle from the smallest car to the large personal truck you have. 

Typically the most difficult parking aspect is reversing. For optimal parking safety using car parking sensors is imperative, but if you can’t afford the front parking sensor you can opt for the reverse parking sensors or you can have both front parking sensors and rear. You may feel comfortable with just a reverse parking sensor for an extra set of eyes, so let’s look at how the rear parking sensor can help you park your vehicle with safety in mind each time.
There are a couple of methods to reverse parking. You can parallel park, park forward and have to back out, or you can back into a parking space. We will concentrate on the backing into parking spaces safety. 
The car reversing aids need to be placed on the inside of the bumper about 40 to 50 centimetres from the ground. There are electromagnetic parking sensors that allow for this type of installation. They are no drills parking sensors for optimal safety and looks. The tape just affixes the rear parking sensor to the inside of the bumper. Then the CAN Bus wiring system is routed to the gear shift, to help the parking sensor engage when you put the car in reverse. 
When the car is in reverse the reverse sensor is working to scan the area you will back into. For backing into parking spaces safety it is imperative to have all around protection reading how close you might be to another car or the wall behind you. The reversing sensors will guide you with zones. There are three zones. The first zone is not a continuous beep, but more of a beep in warning. The second zone lasts a little longer, and the third and final zone is a consistent beep relayed to you in the vehicle. It is this sound you need to be careful of. It states that repositioning the vehicle is a must before you encounter the object it “sees.” By stopping the car you can avoid any damage.
The PD1 electromagnetic parking sensor will be the best option in the reverse parking sensor category for several of the reasons mentioned above. You can find these parking sensors at www.parkingdynamics.co.uk

 Technical Operation:

When reverse gear is selected the small control unit generates a magnetic field and transfers this to the transceiver adhesive strip that is placed on the inner side of and run the length of your bumper. The PD1 Front sensor is activated by a a switch and works in exactly the same way as the PD1 rear reverse sensor.

The magnetic strip then sends out an elliptical magnetic field to cover the full area around your bumper, front, rear and sides. The transceiver strip works by sending and receiving unlike ultrasonic parking and reverse sensors that require 2 types of sensors, one to send and one to receive; if they become dirty the ultrasonic performance can deteriorate.

Mass is then monitored by the control unit by translating this into a voltage. When an object (i.e. people, kerbs, cars, etc) heavier in mass than the magnetic field enters this elliptical zone, an increase in voltage is detected by the control unit and you are then informed by a series of Volvoble tones or display (PD1-Vision only) how close you are to the object. You can then manoeuvre accordingly with plenty of time to react.
