Added front bumper sensors
Thank you for posting this along with the brand of your sensors. What is the year and model of your car? I have recently had iBeam sensors (front and rear) installed twice in the 2021 CX5 I just bought and they don’t work properly. It’s been a nightmare.
You put them only in the front? Interesting as in most cars they are either in the back only or both front & back (OEM). The only thing I don't like about this setup is the extra box to have stick somewhere inside. Where is yours located?
yes only the front since the back has the camera. i had the indicator on the steering column but i just removed it as i cldnt see the high beam dash indicator with it
So where did it go?
Not being a wiseass, why the need for all the sensors?
My wife and I have zero issues parallel parking, it was required to get a driver's license many moons ago, and they made it very difficult.
We have no issue getting our current vehicles in/out of places like my small garage and parking is a breeze, and no, ours don't do it by themselves.
But then, we do come from another era when nearly everyone here in USA learned to drive in land vessels that had turning radius measured in football fields and would require a captain's license now.
The front bumper was generally "over the horizon", meaning you quickly learned the full dimensions of your vehicle, or you could no longer afford insurance.
Although back then you didn't need any.
Don't get me wrong, I surely would've liked the backup sensor back then, would've saved me cash on buying new bicycles and "mittens" wouldn't have used all nine lives in a single day.

I find them to be nice in some cases, but a lot more annoying long term when they are all over the car. It's also one more thing that can break and become expensive really quick. I do like the rear backup sensors when it alerts you if a car/person is coming near you, as well as the blind spot sensors but that's about it.

On the other hand, I recall my former law partner, back in 1978, telling me that the standard parking method in New York City, where he was from, was to back into the space until you heard glass breaking and then to pull forward a bit while straightening the car out.
