Electromagnetic Parking Sensor Installation – Learning the process

EPS Parking sensor is an extremely sophisticated electromagnetic technology that detects the objects behind a vehicle. Electromagnetic parking sensors have been developed to prevent accidents by providing acoustics signals. The sensor in the device gets automatically activated once the back gear is inserted and assists in making the parking operation easier. Adding to facilities, the device offers an easy process of installation.    

The best electromagnetic parking sensor – PD1 from Parking Dynamics is installed through a 3-wire installation method. Moreover, it is provided with Universal Installation Instructions, which makes the process of installation not only easier, but also more safe and simple. Going through the instructions even a novice may accomplish the job of installation perfectly.

The Parking Dynamics PD1 systems are no drill, ultra discreet, reliable and high performance product, which can be easily fitted into a range of cars. The PD1 is compatible with most of the vehicles with plastic bumpers. However, it’s not a matter of concern even if the bumper is partly metallic.

For successful Electromagnetic Parking Sensor installation, you need to follow the process provided below:  

Mounting the Unit

To begin with, install the unit adjacent to the reversing light behind the trim and attach to the trim or body. However, it would better to choose the passenger side. Now, the antenna wire from the unit is passed through the hole (provided by manufacturer) with the grommet fitted joining the antenna on the bumper. However, if the hole is not provided it can be drilled, and the wire can be passed through it with the grommet. In case, there is no space behind the vehicle, the unit can be behind the bumper.        
      
Electrical Connections

The black wire is used for earth connection. It is connected to the ground chassis of the car. Attach the earth wire close to the light cluster at rear of the vehicle.   

The red wire is a 12V supply wire, which lightens up when the reverse gear is selected. It has to be connected to the light cluster situated at the rear of the vehicle. The white 4 pin of the connector should be plugged into the electronic control unit.      

The black twin wires have to be added to the spade terminal. Fit the white connector to the electronic unit and run wire with spade.  Connect it to an adhesive antenna with the connector. 

Mounting the Speaker

The speakers of the parking sensor can be mounted on the rear parcel shelf or the plastic trim or shelf with the help of adhesive mount. The unit has a good volume enough for a warning, even when it is mounted on the trim. It can be done through a push fit connection.   
 
Removal of Bumper

Most of the vehicle bumpers are made from plastic. Depending on the car, Electromagnetic Parking Sensor installation like PD1 can be accomplished by removing the bumper or just by relaxing the bumper by loosening the screw.  

If you are not willing to do it yourself, you can also hire a mechanic, auto electricians, or body shop technicians for installation, who will do the job, literally within minutes.
