Protect Your Citroen with a Parking Sensor Kit

Parking accidents happen whether it is driver fault or something else. We do know that about 33 percent of parking accidents are the fault of the driver. With such statistics it might be important to consider how you can protect your vehicle from being damaged through driver error as well as the other accidents that occur. There are certain devices on the market that protect vehicles like your Citroen. These devices are called car parking sensors. 

A parking sensor is fitted to the bumpers of the car to help you “see” the area around you with a series of audible tones. There are two parking sensors in most parking sensor kits. You have the front parking sensor and the rear parking sensor. 
Not all parking sensors will work the same. In fact there are two types of parking sensors on the market for the Citroen vehicle. There is an ultrasonic parking sensor and an electromagnetic parking sensor. The electromagnetic parking sensor offers a better judge of distance and technology. Parking Dynamics sells a Parking Dynamics PD1 front and rear parking sensor. Their parking sensors are invisible when fitted, which means there is no need to drill a hole in the factory bumper.
The other Citroen parking sensor requires more sensors to be placed in the bumper, with a drilled hole for each one. This can mare the factory look. It also doesn’t work to the degree an electromagnetic parking sensor works.  The Parking Dynamics PD1 never needs to be readjusted. It also does not need maintenance. There has only been one issue with the Parking Dynamics PD1. The issue comes with heavy and SUV’s where water could set the parking sensor off. This is a minor issue that does not even occur on the Citroen parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1.

Hyundai Parking Sensor Parking Dynamics PD1

Car parking sensors come in two different types. There is the ultrasonic parking sensor and the electromagnetic parking sensor. The Hyundai parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 is an electromagnetic parking sensor. The technology offers a wider zone or area to read objects around the car’s bumper, which helps prevent most vehicle parking accidents and provide you with reverse parking safety. The Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor is a no holes parking sensor.

The no drill parking sensor means the rear PD1 parking sensor attaches to the backside of the bumper, and does not interfere with your factory look on the Hyundai. The Hyundai parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 is also a universal parking sensor, which allows it to work with all most all vehicles on the market. The installation of the Hyundai parking sensor is easy and can be done with a licensed installer.

The rear Hyundai parking sensor is the most common parking aid for cars because we often have blind spots in the back of the vehicle. However, there is also a front Hyundai parking sensor to help you with any blind spots or difficult parallel parking jobs you might encounter. The rear parking sensor reads in three zones to tell you when you are too close to an object. When you get to the constant beep sound this means the car is too close to the object. The Hyundai parking sensor Parking Dynamics PD1 can detect vehicles, people, pets, curbs, bushes, and fences.

The front parking sensor from Parking Dynamics has two zones with a constant beep being one. This car parking sensor detects the same types of objects as the reverse parking sensor. There is one key difference in how the two parking sensors work. The front parking sensor must be manually engaged where as the rear parking sensor is engaged as soon as the Hyundai is placed in reverse.

Parking Dynamics PD1 Dodge Parking Sensor

Parking your vehicle can be rather tough in some situations. What happens if you are being rushed into a space while parallel parking or perhaps from leaving a space because someone is waiting for you to move? There are several reasons why you might rush from the parking space and this means driver error can happen even easier than in a normal circumstance. If you own a Dodge and want to ensure you have a clean parking record every time you might consider the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor. 

The PD1 parking sensor is a universal parking sensor. This means it will work on any vehicle, which also makes it a PD1 Dodge parking sensor. The PD1 Dodge parking sensor offers an electromagnetic technology, which gives you more information regarding the area around your vehicle. The ultrasonic sensors don’t read for all around protection, which is your other option to the electromagnetic parking sensor. The ultrasonic parking sensor kits require 4 to 6 parking aids and they require holes drilled in to the bumpers.
The PD1 Dodge parking sensor will keep the factory look of the bumper and give you all around protection. This is because the parking sensor runs the entire length of the bumper, even on the corners and sides. It is also placed on the back side of the bumper for an “invisible when fitted’ option. The PD1 Dodge parking sensor will work on metal and fibreglass bumpers. The metal bumper will require a small adaptation to the parking sensor to make it work. The PD1 Dodge parking sensors are maintenance free as well.
The front parking sensor for your Dodge will have a button that should be installed near the steering wheel. You just need to depress the button in order to engage the sensor. The reverse parking sensor is a separate unit which works off of the reverse gear. Any time the car is in reverse the parking aid will be on. You have two types of rear parking sensors. The normal simple version and then the PD1 rear vision parking sensor. The rear vision parking sensor offers an LED display for a better look at what is behind you.

Ultrasonic Parking Sensors Vs. Electromagnetic Parking Sensors

Parking Dynamics offers the only electromagnetic parking sensors on the market. All other parking sensors you may find are going to be created based on the ultrasonic parking sensor technology. The ultrasonic parking sensors are a lesser technology, despite the fact that they have been around for more years than the electromagnetic parking sensor. 

The ultrasonic parking sensor was first created for commercial use. Commercial vehicles would come equipped with the parking sensors for reverse only. A few years after the ultrasonic parking sensors were used on commercial vehicles car manufacturers began installing them on some of the more expensive vehicles like Lexus and BMW. Today you can still pre- order the parking sensor kit installation from car manufacturers. However, what if you purchase a used car or don’t want to pay the increased price of the car dealer cost? You still have the option of purchasing an aftermarket parking sensor kit.

View the PD1 Electromagnetic Parking Sensor

To better help you understand the difference between ultrasonic parking sensors and the electromagnetic parking sensors we are going to look at our Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor and the JML parking sensor. The JML parking sensor is an ultrasonic parking sensor. The JML parking sensor is a cheap and inexpensive version of other ultrasonic parking sensors that require holes drilled into the bumpers. The JML parking sensor adheres to the outside of the bumper with tape, then a wire is routed to the cigarette lighter inside the vehicle to power the parking aids. It is an unsightly ultrasonic parking sensor. 

The JML parking sensor does require maintenance, and typically won’t last for a longer period of time. Ultrasonic sensors like the JML, Cobra, or even Steelmate have a lower range for detecting objects. The design of 4 to 6 ultrasonic parking sensors means the sides and corners of the bumper will not be protected. In fact the parking sensors could miss an object and still cause damage to your vehicle. When you own a Lexus, Peugeot, or Audi you want to make sure the parking sensors installed will keep the factory look and give you all around protection.

This is where the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor comes in. The PD1 parking sensor or electromagnetic car parking sensor runs the entire backside of your bumper giving you all around protection on the sides and corners. It can detect objects up to 10cm without giving a faulty reading. The PD1 parking sensor is also a universal parking sensor, which means it works on all types of vehicles. The electromagnetic parking sensor can detect several types of obstacles from people, vehicles to high or low curbs.

View the PD1 Electromagnetic Parking Sensor

The Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor is a more expensive kit and generally requires a trained professional over the JML do it yourself kit. You do get what you pay for when you choose the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor. Unlike the Steelmate, Corbra, or JML parking sensors the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor is maintenance free. It is also an invisible when fitted design offering the most protection.
Another difference between the ultrasonic parking sensors and the electromagnetic parking sensors is what it can detect. We mentioned above the electromagnetic parking sensor can detect just about any object and save you from a parking accident. The ultrasonic parking sensor system like the JML parking sensor has difficulty reading shrubs and wire fences. The ultrasonic parking sensor can only give you an accurate reading up to 40cm.
Lastly the electromagnetic parking sensor from Parking Dynamics can be used on just about any car or bumper. You can use the PD1 parking sensor on metal bumpers with a slight modification and still no holes need to be drilled. For more technical information seek www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/technical and www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/features. You will notices immediately that the Parking Dynamics PD1 parking sensor has more than the ultrasonic parking sensor from JML.

Citroen Parking Sensor

The PD1 Citroen parking sensor will work on any model Citroen you might have. Protecting your vehicle is very important to you. As a company Parking Dynamics realises just how much you want to make sure your car is always safe. There are times when your car might be left parked on a street or accident occurs that is not your fault. Sadly these types of safety measures are hard to protect. However, with the PD1 Citroen parking sensor you can at least have parking safety measures in place. 

Parking safety whether you are pulling into a space, leaving a space, or parallel parking is imperative. To make sure your vehicle will be safe from the regular bumps, scraps, and even curbs you should have the Citroen parking sensor.
The PD1 Citroen parking sensor can be fitted on the front and rear bumper depending on the package you choose. There are three types of Citroen parking sensors from Parking Dynamics. You have the front parking sensor, rear parking sensor, and the rear vision parking sensor. The front parking sensor works a little differently than the rear parking sensors. With the front Citroen parking sensor you have a button that will be installed near the steering wheel. When you depress the button you turn the parking sensor on or off. 
The rear parking sensors are hooked into the reverse gear. Any time you place your vehicle in reverse the rear parking sensors will begin reading the area automatically. The rear vision parking sensor offers an LED display to help map the area behind your bumper. It gives you a little extra knowledge to help avoid the most common parking accidents.
There are other Citroen parking sensors on the market. These other sensors are ultrasonic parking sensors. They usually require 4 to 6 sensors on the vehicle to give protection. They don’t work on the sides or corners of the bumpers very well. They also require drilled holes or adhesive tape. The ultrasonic parking sensors do need maintenance. JML parking sensors are a type of ultrasonic parking sensor.
The PD1 Citroen parking sensor is an electromagnetic parking sensor. It provides all around protection on the sides and corners of the bumper, as well as the rest of the bumper. It is a no drill parking sensor. It is also an “invisible when fitted” design because it attaches to the inside of the bumpers leaving your car looking factory new. The PD1 Citroen parking sensor just needs a front parking sensor and a rear parking sensor to provide the most protection. It also works up to as close as 10cm for accurate readings. There should be no doubt in your mind as to the best parking sensor for you and your Citroen. For more information on the PD1 Citroen parking sensor check out www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/technical.

Ford Car Parking Sensors

Ford a long time Car Company does sell parking sensor packages for their cars. If you want to spend the money to get a package added on at the factory you can certainly do so. Typically these packages are upwards of 500 pounds and can be quite expensive for the technology offered. Even their commercial trucks can come equipped with parking sensors. However, if you did not purchase your car directly from the factory or want to spend less on the car parking sensor options you can go with a different option. The Ford parking sensors we have from Parking Dynamics give you all around protection in an easy to install kit.

At Parking Dynamics you have three types of kits to choose from. The PD1 parking sensor can be rear parking sensors, rear vision parking sensors, and front parking sensors. To get the all- around protection you need at least the rear and front parking sensor kit. 
The front parking sensor has a slightly different set up than the rear parking sensor. First of all the front parking sensor engages when you depress a button typically installed under or around your steering wheel. The reverse parking sensor works whenever you place the car in reverse. There is a sensor on the gear shift that tells the rear parking sensor that you are backing up. 
What makes the PD1 parking sensor even better is its no drill parking sensor design. You do not have to drill any holes into the bumpers for installation. Instead the PD1 parking sensor for Ford will adhere to the back of the bumper. It is also a maintenance free option because they don’t move after installation and will not get dirty like the ultrasonic parking sensors. The ultrasonic parking sensors require maintenance and holes in the bumper.
Installation of the Ford parking sensors can be found on www.parkingdynamics.co.uk for more information. We also have other information listed on how the electromagnetic parking sensor from Parking Dynamics works. This ensures you have the best parking sensor on your Ford, and can avoid any damage for years to come when parking.

Comparing Various Parking Aids

 

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.

Front and Rear Parking Aids Systems

 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.

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.

Electromagnetic Reverse Parking Sensors Aid in Parking Safety

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.

View the PD1 Electromagnetic Parking Sensor 

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.
