Electromagnetic v Ultrasonic

We don’t mean to diss other products on the market, but brands that rely on ultrasonic technology like Hawk parking sensors, are living in the past.

We incorporate new electromagnetic technology which ensures 100% reliability and performance. We also don’t have to drill holes and mess around with wires in order to install them on your car.

It makes sense to keep with the times, especially when it comes to protecting your car. Ultrasonic = old school. Electromagnetic = The future!

Guide to Parallel Parking with Parking Sensors

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.

How Long Have Parking Sensors Been Around?

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.
