Parking safety is a requirement when you own a vehicle. You have to be hyper- vigilant when you park at home, on the street, or in a parking lot. To help you park better in any situation there are parking aids like the PD1 parking sensor. The PD1 parking sensor can be installed with the purpose of telling you exactly where your bumpers are in relation to the parking objects around you. Parking aids like this help you avoid accidents, have lower insurance premiums, and just offer that vigilance you need.
There is more than just one type of parking sensor. We are going to compare some of the parking aids you have to choose from to determine what could be better and why. We will start with the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor. It has an “invisible when fitted design” meaning you don’t have to drill into your bumper. It attaches to the back side of the bumper. It is also an electromagnetic parking sensor that has a better range than other parking sensors on the market. Easy installation, a front parking sensor, and a rear parking sensor make the PD1 one of the best parking aids around. The PD1 parking sensor is also a “no maintenance” option.
The older technology still on the market is the ultrasonic parking sensor. The technology requires maintenance, drilling holes in your bumpers, and 4 to 6 parking sensors. The ultrasonic parking sensors also don’t work well on the corner or sides of your bumper. This technology detracts from your vehicles looks and requires more installation challenges.
The latest technology on the market is a vision parking aid. Some of these parking aids will have reverse cameras installed on the bumpers. This allows you to see what your parking sensors see. The cameras are the best technology. At Parking Dynamics you have a rear vision parking sensor that shows you the objects behind you. It is a little different from a camera, but it has the same premise. The difference between the rear vision PD1 parking sensor and the camera is shown in cost. The camera has to be factory installed and will cost significantly more.
The PD1 parking sensors range from 69 pounds to 80 pounds. If you get a factory installed parking sensor kit from a car dealership you can expect to pay at least 250 pounds and closer to 500 pounds. This is one of the reasons the PD1 parking sensors are best for those with a budget or someone who wants to update their older vehicle with new technology.

Parking has become a difficult option in today’s world. We have more cars on the roads, smaller parking spaces, and just more instances where accidents can occur. Many times in a parking lot you will see drivers on the phone driving around looking for a parking space. People don’t yield to a car backing out of a space, even when you can’t see them. The list for parking accidents could go on, but our real point is not about parking accidents, as much as it is about parking safety.
The PD1 or Parking Dynamics universal parking sensor will help you avoid the most and least common of parking accidents. The Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor use electromagnetic technology to scan the objects and space around your bumper. It will be able to read if there is an object in your way such as a person, kerb, vehicle, or other obstacle.
At Parking Dynamics you have three choices of electromagnetic parking sensors. You have the front parking sensor, rear parking sensor, and the PD1 vision rear parking sensor. These three sensors work independently of each other. They also have different alert tones to help you distinguish the sensors apart.
The front parking sensor works with two zones. These two zones have an intermittent beep to alert you that there is an object. The second tone is constant to tell you your vehicle needs to be repositioned before damage occurs.
The rear parking sensors have three zones. The PD1 vision rear parking sensor has an adaption to the reverse parking sensor. It has a vision field to help you avoid parking accidents. The vision sensor reads the objects around you and will transmit a visual picture of what objects are behind you as well as offer an audible warning. It is an advance system, which helps prevent most accidents.

The PD1 Vision Parking Sensor is a rear parking sensor. At Parking Dynamics you have three different choices. There is the regular rear parking sensor and the front parking sensor. The PD1 Vision Parking sensor is your third choice. This sensor gives you a little more than the other two options. The best part is it is only ten pounds more to upgrade to the vision parking sensor.
The vision parking sensor has a visual LED zone system to alert you to the objects around you. It is meant to map out the area for you to see, while monitoring your closeness to the object via the audible parking sensor.
You still have the “invisible when fitted design.” You never have to drill or put holes in your factory bumper. This parking sensor allows you to get within 10cm of an object. It is great for tight places where you might park, such as parallel spaces.
The objects it can detect include people, other vehicles, garage doors, walls, kerbs, and more. The vision parking sensor is activated when you place the car in reverse. It is only for protection of your rear bumper.
Your audible zones are not going to change from the first PD1 parking sensor. You still have three zones to tell you how close you are to an object. The vision parking sensor just adds a little more. The car parking sensor works on most vehicles and even those with metal bumpers.
If you want parking safety then you will need the PD1 vision parking sensor. You will never have to worry about damaging your vehicle or another object again. You also get the benefit of lower insurance premiums. The PD1 vision parking sensor is also maintenance free.

If you are at all like me you probably don’t like to parallel park if you can help it. The good news is you are not alone. There are millions of us out there that hate to parallel park. We wanted to provide you with a sort of guide to parallel parking regarding parking sensors to help you see how easy it could be.
First of all with car parking sensors you will have a front parking sensor, and a rear parking sensor. Both parking sensors will need to be engaged in order to parallel park with ease. The system from Parking Dynamics is the PD1 electromagnetic parking sensor. It offers the best range on the entire bumper and the corners of the bumper. You will never have to wonder how close you get to the curb, cars around you or other objects with this PD1 parking sensor system. The added benefit of the parking sensor from Parking Dynamics is the “invisible when fitted” design. It requires no maintenance and does not make your bumpers unsightly.
When you place the car in reverse to start backing into the parallel space the reverse parking sensor will engage. It will tell you how close you get to an object. There are three zones. The first has an inconsistent beep, the second zone speeds up a little more, and the third zone is a constant beep. It is this last zone that tells you when you are close enough to cause damage. In other words you will need to reposition your vehicle.
The front parking sensor works a little differently. Once the car is in position in which you need to pull forward to straighten out the vehicle you need to press the button under the dash. This button engages the front parking sensor. You can also engage the sensor as you begin. This way when the sensor gets close to the back bumper of the car in front of you, you will know if you can turn the wheel and swing into the space without repositioning.
The front parking sensor offers two zones. The first is an inconsistent beep and the second is the constant sound. By using the electromagnetic parking sensors you never have to worry about hitting another car when you parallel park. The PD1 parking sensor is a warning system to avoid accidents in any situation as well as to make parallel parking easier.

Sometimes history is just fascinating to learn about. If you are one of those individuals who likes to know a lot about many things you might find learning about the history of parking sensors fascinating while you try and determine what parking sensors will be right for your vehicle.
Parking sensors history starts in the 1950’s. The curbs in the UK as well as other countries during the 1950’s were higher than most curbs of today. This matters, only in that the tyres on a vehicle during that time were side walled with white. This side wall was important to keep clean and attractive for many vehicle owners. Something needed to be done in order to help a person park without hitting the curb and hurting their tyres. The first parking aids were not meant for avoiding people or other cars, but as protection for the tyres.
The first parking aids were really just spring loaded wires. In fact they might remind you a lot of a car’s aerial. They were meant to bend so they wouldn’t break when in contact with a curb. The metal would also alert the driver that the vehicle was close to the curb as it scraped the side. It was a primitive system and now we have better sensors.
It took quite a few years for the creation of a more mechanical system that would actually alert the driver inside the car with a tone frequency. These parking sensors are ultrasonic parking aids. You would have to drill 4 to 6 holes in the bumper to attach the parking aid. It would then give you almost complete protection. The ultrasonic parking sensors are still used today, but there is something even better that is less than a decade old.
The electromagnetic parking sensors are easier to install, use, and they require no maintenance. They are also a no holes parking sensor, which means you don’t have to wreck the factory bumper to attach the parking sensor. They attach on the back of the bumper with strong adhesive tape.
www.parkingdynamics.co.uk has the PD1 electromagnetic parking sensor. Just follow the link to learn more.

Did you just purchase a Mercedes, Lexus, or even a VW Beetle? It doesn’t actually matter whether you have purchased a new vehicle or want to protect your old vehicle. When it comes to parking accidents the fault usually lies with the driver of the vehicle damaged rather than objects or people around them. Whether you have paid 100,000 pounds for a vehicle or 12,000 pounds you don’t want it to be damaged. The front and rear parking aids systems will help you avoid most parking accidents, and ensure parking safety needs are met.
There are two types of front and rear parking aids systems. You have the ultrasonic parking sensor, which is an older technology. As an aftermarket parking aid system they are not the best. You have to drill into the bumper, place the parking sensors, and then find paint to match the mess created by drilling. The ultrasonic parking sensors require maintenance such as realignment and cleaning because of their positions. For this very reason they cannot be 100 percent accurate every time. You also have to have 4 to 6 parking sensors in the kit depending on the size of vehicle you are working with.
I know the ultrasonic parking sensors don’t sound that wonderful, and when you compare them to the next front and rear parking aids systems you will definitely see more to fault the ultrasonic parking sensors. The second type of parking aid is the electromagnetic parking sensor. At
www.parkingdynamics.co.uk you can find the PD1 parking sensor technology. This electromagnetic parking sensor is considered an “invisible when fitted” design. It is a no holes parking sensor. You simple measure the back of the bumper to determine the correct distance from the ground, strip the tape and place the parking sensor on the bumper. You don’t have to find paint for retouching your bumper, and it looks like the bumper is still from the factory. The electromagnetic parking sensors do not require maintenance. You have a front parking sensor and a reverse parking sensor. You don’t need 4 or 6 to get the all- around protection you need.
Any time you want to make sure you have parking safety, just remember the front and rear parking aids systems like the PD1 will offer you that protection at little cost or time for installation.

There are several reasons reversing accidents take place. Sometimes it is driver error because they are not paying attention, but sometimes reversing accidents are a result of something a bit out of our control. For example in one reversing accident I saw a woman was wearing a block high heel style shoe. The shoe caught on the floor mat and because she wasn’t quick enough she hit another vehicle rather than getting into the parking space. It doesn’t really matter how reversing accidents occur. The fact that parking accidents occur frequently is something you need to consider when protecting your vehicle from damage. Parking safety should be your main concern not only to avoid car damage, but also to avoid insurance claims.
The answer to most of the reversing accidents lies in parking aids. Parking aids provide parking safety in a number of situations. While it won’t help if your foot gets caught in a mat it can help you know where your bumpers are in relation to any object or person around you. The car parking aids also help you with your blind spots. While car parking sensors or parking aids can’t navigate the car for you they can help you determine where you are positioned and whether you need to change it. For example in parallel parking you have to first back into the space then make sure you don’t hit your front bumper. A lot of vehicles have a long hood, which makes gauging the closeness of the bumper difficult.
One car parking sensor on the market is the electromagnetic parking sensor from Parking Dynamics. The PD1 parking sensor offers a better range of detection on the entire bumper than other models. They are also very easy to install as no holes parking sensors. It means they just attach to the back of the bumper.

Whether you own an Audi, Lexus, or BMW you want to protect it from accidents. An accident can happen anywhere, but the most common accidents are those caused by the driver of the vehicle when parking. It can be a result of not knowing where the bumper is, a blind spot, or just not being quick enough to react. To protect your vehicle no matter what brand it is you should have parking sensors.
These parking aids will help you determine where your bumpers actually are whenever you park or leave a parking spot. There are Audi parking sensors, Lexus parking sensors, and BMW parking sensors. You can also go for a PD1 Parking Dynamics parking sensor for after factory installation. The PD1 car parking sensor is easy to install and works on most every vehicle. What makes this option even better is the design of the parking sensors. They are parking sensors no drilling needed. In other words you just attach the parking aid to the back of the bumper with tape, route the sensor to inside the cab of the vehicle and have an all around protection option.
There are other after factory car parking sensors. These parking aids are ultrasonic parking sensors like Steel Mate and Laserline. These parking sensors are not a no drilling sensor. You actually have to drill into the bumper to attach the 4 to 6 sensors as well as route the wires to the inside of the vehicle. Once the car parking sensors are installed you need to fix the bumper with matching paint. The ultrasonic sensors offer a great deal more work and they need after installation maintenance.
The electromagnetic parking sensor from Parking Dynamics never needs maintenance because of the back of bumper no drilling installation. The PD1 parking sensor doesn’t require as many sensors either. It is just one on the front and then a reverse parking sensor.

To park safely at your home, in a garage, or on the street at a busy shopping area you want to ensure your car has the best protection. Sometimes parking accidents result due to other driver error when parking. For this a nice security system assures you that you will be notified of the incident. Unfortunately the security options don’t protect you when the car is in motion and you are trying to park or un-park. For this you need parking aids like the PD1 Parking Dynamics car parking sensor.
The PD1 car parking sensor tells you where your bumpers are and how close they are to another object. The object in question could be a car bumper, side panel, curb, person, or anything else you could run into that would cause damage to your vehicle. By having the PD1 no drill parking sensor you can always avoid damaging your vehicle and other objects around you.
The parking sensor works by casting a field to receive information. This field relays to the sensor how close the object is to the bumper. It will then send a signal to the driver in the car. The signal depending on where or how you are parking can tell you if you are close or too close. For example the rear parking sensor has three zones. The zones tell you the distance you are at from an object. If the beep you hear is steady then stopping and repositioning is your only choice. If you have an inconsistent beep you still have room to manoeuvre.
The front parking sensor only has two zones, but it works with the same principle. To engage the front parking sensor you need to push a button under the dash. The reverse parking sensor is automatically engaged as soon as you put the car in reverse. For parking safety all the time, make sure you use parking aids like the ones found at
www.parkingdynamics.co.uk. You can also find out more about their product at the website.

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.
