Installing Parking Sensors with Ease

Are you wondering if you should get a parking sensor kit for your vehicle? Perhaps you have learned about the different systems out there, but don’t really know how the installation of the parking sensors will go? We wanted to share with you how to install parking sensors if you have the PD1 car parking sensors. Parking Dynamics has a one of a kind parking sensor kit in that it is invisible when fitted. It is also the easiest system to install with no maintenance.

So, installing parking sensors:
The PD1 parking sensor works with adhesive tape. All you do to attach the parking sensor is peel back the tape and then place the sensor on the back side of the bumper. That’s the easy part of the installation. Most parking aid systems have you drill a hole in the bumper to insert the parking sensor. This means you would have to find paint to match the bumper to hide the installation mess.
However, before you can actually tape the parking sensor to the back of the bumper you need to measure where it will go. The best reading it will get is between 40 and 50cm. The parking sensor should not be below or above those measurements, unless you have a metal bumper protection in the way. Since you are using tape the Parking Dynamics PD1 car parking sensors will work best with fibreglass bumpers. This is not to say that you can’t use it on metal bumpers, it just takes a small adaptation.
Once the reverse parking sensor is in place you need to run the system into the vehicle. The reverse parking sensor hooks up to the reverse mechanism in the transmission. Every time you switch to reverse the parking sensor will be engaged.  The front parking sensor also has a mechanism, but it is a bit different. There is a button to install below the steering wheel that when pushed engages the front parking sensor. 
Installing parking sensors like the PD1 parking aid requires a bit of electrical knowledge to route the wires, but the actual installation of the sensor is quick and simple. If you haven’t decided yet on the PD1 parking sensor check out www.parkingdynamics.co.uk for more information.

I can't believe the ease by which the parking sensor was fitted and we just love the discrete 'hidden' sensor design. What a difference the PD1 makes to both mine and my wife's parking and reversing.

The audible alert keeps our attention to a maximum level and really helps with tight parking spaces.
