Parking Sensors No Drilling Needed!

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.

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.

Parking Dynamics Hidden Parking Sensors

There are a couple of different car parking sensors on the market. The ultrasonic parking sensor will require holes to be drilled into the bumper of the vehicle. It also requires 4 to 6 parking sensors and a bit of a paint job. They can be downright unsightly, and luckily they are not the only option a car owner has. The second type of car parking sensor is the electromagnetic parking sensor. Parking Dynamics is the only company to have this revolutionary technology, outside of car manufacturers. 

The PD1 sensor you can purchase at www.parkingdynamics.co.uk is a no drill and no holes parking sensor. In fact they are hidden parking sensors that affix to the back of the car’s front and rear bumper. How the car parking sensor works is that a tape is used on the sensor wire to make sure it is attached to the bumper securely. This means the electromagnetic parking sensor will work on almost any bumper surface. The only problem is with metal bumpers, you need a small addition to the parking sensor to make it work. It really isn’t much of a problem, when you consider the ultrasonic parking sensors like LaserLine and Steel Mate. 
The tape to attach the car parking sensor is used on the inner side of the bumper and not on the front. The factory bumper will remain unchanged and look good as new, after you have affixed the sensor. This is why they are hidden parking sensors. You also have a different set up than the ultrasonic parking sensors. Remember, above we said you needed four to six sensors to get maximum protection on your car? Well, with the PD1 Parking Dynamics car parking sensor you only need two sensors; the front parking sensor and the reverse parking aid. The parking sensors have technology that allows them to send and receive messages rather than having one sensor on the bumper to receive and another parking aid to send.
You also have more protection with the hidden parking sensor. The electromagnetic parking sensor has a wider range on the actual bumper to protect it. It can sense things to the side and corners of a bumper for all around protection. The ultrasonic parking sensor has limits on corners as well as its field of detection. To fully protect your vehicle the hidden parking sensor from Parking Dynamics will be your best option. You have no modifications, more protection for the entire car, and it is easy to install.

Ultrasonic Parking Sensors Explained

There are two types of parking sensors available. The first type of parking aid is the ultrasonic parking sensor. These sensors have been around for several years and are based on a type of sonar system. Like Bats the ultrasonic system sends out a pulse to read how close you are to another object.  The second type of parking aid is the electromagnetic parking sensors. An electromagnetic parking sensor will also tell you how close to an object you are by testing the electromagnetic field. Both parking sensors are accurate, but there are a few differences in how they work.

First the ultrasonic parking sensors do not have the CAN bus wiring system, which means there may be, defaults and a need for maintenance on the sensors. Secondly the ultrasonic parking sensors like LaserLine or Steel Mate require holes to be drilled into the bumpers. They need to be able to ‘see’ the object in order to get a reading. Again this means they can get very dirty and then require maintenance to reset them. So while they are accurate for the first few months over time they can experience defaults if not taken care of. 
To help you avoid reversing issues in parking lots, into or out of your garage you will need parking aids that will work all the time. The electromagnetic parking sensor the PD1 from Parking Dynamics is the best option on the market. It requires the system to be placed behind the bumper; therefore there is no unsightly damage to your bumper and no maintenance required. The signal from the parking sensor will beep inside your car in three different zones to tell you how close you are to an object. This will allow you to change the position of the vehicle if needed; otherwise you can back out of the parking space without damage to an object, vehicle or person.

Gain Parking and Reversing Confidence with Parking Sensors

 Parking or reversing can lead to a lot of hesitation, especially for new drivers. To encourage more confidence in a person learning to drive or just for yourself you can get parking sensors. There are a variety of parking aids on the market. You have Steel Mate and LaserLine which require adaptation to your bumper. Then you have the Parking Dynamics PD1. The PD1 doesn’t require any changes to your bumper. In fact it adheres to the back of the bumper, so you don’t even have an unsightly sensor on your car.

The PD1 is an electromagnetic parking sensor that works with the CAN bus wiring system. The wiring system transmits a signal into your car to tell you which zone you are in when parking or reversing. The reverse sensor has three zones for closeness and the front parking sensor has two zones. The zones are the frequency in which you will hear a beep sound. As you get close to an object the sound becomes more frequent until it is a steady pulse.
Now that you know how the PD1 electromagnetic parking sensor works we can look at why it offers driver’s confidence. Parking and reversing can be difficult with the blind spots in a vehicle. You may look around and not see another car or pedestrian walking, yet they are there. To help you reduce the frequency of incidents while parking or reversing you can purchase parking sensors. The parking sensors are a warning system to help you recognise when there are something there you can’t see.
You no longer have to worry about a blind spot. You also don’t have to worry about looking in one direction then the other and still having something appear a few seconds later. Other driver’s do not always adhere to the speed limits in parking lots, which means they can appear instantly even though you have already checked that location. Be wise and use the PD1 parking sensors to limit your incidents in parking lots.

Be Safe While Driving: The PD1 Parking Sensor

In driving we don’t often think about needing a parking sensor, but they can truly help you out if you have them.  The parking aid allows you to know where your bumpers are at all times.  Even if you can see your bumpers this doesn’t mean that they aren’t useful.  A lot of individuals think that the electromagnetic parking sensor is just for parking, but it can help you in driving as well.  Let’s take a look at how.

Driving in traffic can be difficult.  You have to keep checking your mirrors, make sure you are a good distance from other cars when you stop, and just know where your car starts and ends.  When you are in a lot of traffic you may want to move into a new lane for various reasons.  For example the lane you are in may be blocked because of an accident or road construction.  In these situations, when traffic is crawling along the road parking sensors can be very important. 
Front and rear parking sensors will help you move into the new lane without fear of being too close to the other cars. Instead of wondering if you can make it into the next lane your parking sensors can help you know that you do have that space. 
There are a couple of parking aid brands that you can choose.  Laserline, Steel Mate, and Parking Dynamics are three of the brands on the market.  Parking Dynamics or PD1 is the only electromagnetic parking sensor.  This means that they adhere to the back side of your bumper with tape rather than requiring a drill hole.  They are also hidden so that they don’t detract from the overall look of your vehicle.  They are not an ultrasonic system.  Laserline and Steel Mate are both ultrasonic systems requiring a hole to be drilled.  They are exposed and need maintenance, which is another reason the PD1 can help you in any situation.
For more driving and parking safety tips and information check out Parking Dynamics.  The next time you are in city traffic that is really heavy, make sure you are protected from accidents.

CAN Bus Wiring Systems in the PD1

 The CAN Bus or Controller Area Network wiring system was created in 1980 by Bosch.  It may surprise you that something created more than 20 years ago is still being used in the parking aids.  The reason for this is the technology.  The systems are an electromagnetic design that offers you the ability to have aid when parking your vehicle.  The wires adhere to almost any bumper without modification.  Then the CAN bus system will send the information along the wiring so that you get the signal the sensor is passing you.  The technology works so that there is no delay in the information given to you when you are parking.

Let’s take a look at the PD1 sensor.  The PD1 or Parking Dynamics 1 is made with the electromagnetic technology and CAN bus wiring system.  It is the only parking sensor like it on the market.  All others are the ultrasonic version requiring modification to your bumper and they also are not compatible with the CAN bus wiring system without modification.  Some of the vehicles with the ultrasonic parking sensors will never be compatible with the CAN bus wiring system.
The great thing about the Parking Dynamics front and reverse sensor is the low maintenance.  The ultrasonic sensors like Steel Mate and Laser Line require maintenance because they are placed on the outside of the bumper.  This means a lot of dirt and other debris can actually cause a malfunction.  The Parking Dynamics or PS1 sensor is on the back side of the bumper where it is harder to get damaged.  Plus the manufacturing of the sensor makes it maintenance free.
If you want consistency with your parking aids the best option will be the PD1 with easy installation, the CAN bus system, and no maintenance.  You will always know where your bumpers are.

Understanding the Varieties of Parking Sensors: Steel Mate and PD1

 There are two types of front and rear parking sensors, though there are numerous brands.  The two types of parking sensors are electromagnetic and ultrasonic parking sensors.  The ultrasonic parking sensors were the first to be developed and used by car companies.  They do have their uses; however there are a lot of drawbacks with these types of parking aids.  The PD1 is the electromagnetic parking sensor.  It is also the only one on the market. 

The PD1 will hook on to the back of your bumper and run the CAN Bus wiring system along the entire bumper.  This way you have a working sensor system on the entire bumper, but you don’t need 4 to 6 actual sensors.  The ultrasonic option will have 4 to 6 sensors that are on the front of the bumper.  In fact you have to drill into the bumper to place the sensors on the car.
Ultrasonic sensors are Steel Mate and LaserLine.  They do use a wiring system to report to you in the driver’s side of the car, but it is less sophisticated technology.  Again this is because it needs 4 to 6 sensors to work on the outside of the bumper.
The PD1 doesn’t require you to make modifications to your car.  Instead you just place it on the car unless it has a metal bumper.  The metal bumper will require modification to the electromagnetic sensor; however this is a small modification and still doesn’t require modification to the car.  A trained technician can install the system and make the modifications for you.
With the Steel Mate parking sensors you will find that you not only have to drill the bumper, but you have to get matching paint to hide the sensor and the modifications you made.  They are unsightly.
So when you really want a great parking aid system the PD1 or Parking Dynamics electromagnetic sensor will be the best out there.

Which to choose? PD1 parking sensor or the Laserline parking sensor?

Vehicle security is of prime importance and vehicle owners are highly concerned about their prized investment especially with increasing cases of car thefts. Several vehicle security devices have been designed to protect the vehicles. There is an exclusive range of immobilisers, parking systems and alarms. The Laserline car alarm is one such device, which can protect your vehicle from invasive attempts. These Laserline systems can fit into different vehicles – four wheelers as well as two wheelers.

Car alarms combine intelligent software and advanced technology to ensure impregnable vehicle security. The alarms are stylishly designed and safe to use. Further, accompanying a range of options and features, car alarms are a choice of many.

Some of the noticeable features of car alarm include:

- The unit consists of automatic setting for dual circuit immobilization
- Ultrasonic interior sensors are provided, which are easily switchable
- It offers a central locking system with simple closure
- The car alarm also encloses a high power battery back up siren
- Electric window controls provide
- The system incorporates cell phone hands free kits for more convenience
- Flashing interior LED enhances the security

The car alarms are compatible with all types of autos and designed to offer quality protection to the car at a sensible price. Further, these systems can be customized according to the vehicle-make and the buyer’s budget.

How it works?

Car alarms feature interior sensors, which can sense and detect when the car is tilted, or the glass is broken or even if the car is being jacked up to steal the wheels and tires. Sensors of the device triggers alarm, if there is an intentional or accidental collision. This alerts the owner of the vehicle about an attempt of theft.

Apart from providing high security, the car alarms also double up as parking alarm. It is quite difficult to manage parallel parking systems, which involves higher risk of collision while moving in or out of the space. The system alerts the driver if the car is too close to the wall, to avoid wrecking. These systems are more beneficial than the blind spots. With such an alarm, parallel parking becomes simple and it is easier to back up.

Are there better options?

Yes, the PD1 parking sensor alarms are exclusively designed products compatible for almost all types of autos. Equipped with state-of-art-technology, PD1 is incomparable when it comes to quality and features. Not only easy to install, but this alarm system also provides invaluable and timely protection from dangers. Moreover, what makes PD1 an obvious selection is its price, perfectly reasonable for the peace of mind that it offers to the users.
