Parking sensors (after market)

quad_red

After a number of close calls, we're in a bit of a bind. Our Skoda Superb is long. Much longer than our previous car. And my wife just isn't comfortable attempting to park it. We've practiced loads of times, I've tried to help her. But full stop, she is just terrified. And that's making things worse and making her avoid the car.

Now, we can't afford a second smaller car or to replace our car. But her friends have cars with parking sensors and she thinks they're the bomb.

My question is about after market parking sensors. A guy on adverts installs Scorpion parking sensors. Has anyone used these? I cannot find any reviews or videos of them in operation online.

We need to do something but there's no point paying out for something that will be useless.

So I suppose I'm asking:
Has anyone any experience of the Scorpion system or any other recommendations of systems that can be fitted in Dublin?

Thanks,
Quad

I'd found that site. But there's no videos showing it working and given it's the manufacturer, no reliable review.

This guy put a set in the OH mondeo did a nice clean job and they work the treat http://www.caralarms.ie/ they may cost a bit but its cheep compared to replacing your bumper.

There are invisible parking sensors available that dont require any drilling of your bumper etc. I dont know if they are good or bad but might be worth looking into if interested in a quick, cheap DIY install.
