Anyone added parking sensors? Invisibly, if possible. I've found these kits: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Parking-Sensor-Direct but I wonder if they work..
Any other suggestions ?

that sounds quite smart if they fit behind the bumper skin and are invisible!Anyone added parking sensors? Invisibly, if possible. I've found these kits: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Parking-Sensor-Direct but I wonder if they work..

I had no idea about these things. (10 year old technologySearch electro magnetic parking sensors on eBay them come as cheap as 7.95 for this type of sensor it appears to be a strip you mount to the rear of the bumper skin and it works in the same way as the ultra sonic ones.
Any idea if the alarm is 'stereo'? I know I'm pushing it, but I love it on the X3 as you know from which corner of the car you need to worry about...I had no idea about these things. (10 year old technology) The tests and reviews for them on YouTube are all really positive. Has anybody fitted one? Easy enough to fit the strip, just knowing where to route the wiring and mount the alarm. Seems they are wired to the reverse lights.
Getting too old to look over your shoulder?I fitted some on my Z4 A few weeks ago. Standard painted body colour type, fitting principle much the same. Have a look on my progress thread " My Z4 . . . . . My way"

I'm confusedI received one of the cheapo ones from ebay. Mostly because I like taking stuff apart and figure out how they work. I'm thinking of installing one or two under the driveway paving slabs, with a 433mhz transmitter to ring a bell in the house when someone comes down.
That's the one I got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282459839109 -- disassembly shows it's not fantastic, but on the other hand I've seen a LOT worseI'll hook it up to 12V tomorrow to have a play.
Ah yes, I did. I was curious about the electromagnetic sensor strip in question, and that sort of sensor could have many more uses than just plain reversing sensor. Also, I can pop it down in the driveway a lot quicker than I can remove the back bumper of the car. I still MIGHT put one in the car at some point, if they work good enough...I'm confusedSo you bought a parking sensor to use as a burglar alarm/door bell? I don't know if I've got that right.. but I'm interested to see what happens next.
