This was such a great instructional video! You did an absolute superb job explaining and showing everything clearly! Very much appreciated!!! Kudos to you!!
ill be doing this installation on the exact same vehicle tomorrow and before watching this video was not confident....however NOW! after watching your very detailed instructional video im full off confidence and would like to say....THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR A VERY GOOD DISCRIPTIONAL VIDEO!!!!
Best DYS video ever, well done and totally straight through - 20/20
Thanks for showing the green line. It helps with my reverse parking assist project with my Prius C!
Can't thank you enough for this! I just bought a 2000 Honda Accord with a dead reverse sensor. Planning to add an aftermarket reverse sensor and the one that you showed fit the bill!
You are very good at making instructional videos.
You made it look so easy. Cheers!
Very well explained, thank you
Thanks for sharing! Well said “the toughest part of installation is drilling holes to bumper”. 😂
Well done mate, great description
I love a well done video. Keep up the good work!
Great idea putting sensor at the rear so it can seen from rear view mirror ALSO Saves a lot of time and faffing about
Tracing the cable to the front on the car
Many Thanks Very Clear explanations
Steve Butler UK
Yea but now is not abcd because went You turn is Goint to be dcba
Thank you.
I'm planning to install one this week. Unlike your bumper which the installation cables are securely placed inside bumper assembly. Mine seems exposed to the bottom. I think I should have the cables wraped with something.
BTW where do you put the beeper? I found mine when I put on the test the sound is extremely loud and a bit annoying. Did you put additional cover on it?
You done very professionally work thank you your video Mack my work so easy for my sprinter van
Excellent video, well edited and informative.
thanks my brother very useful video, I will get for my car for sure, I will make a video too, installing it to motivate others and stop damaging cars around.
Bro thanks for this tutorial! Masha Allah!
Very good video... Greetings from Auburn GA (Gwinnett County)
Thank you Tim. You have a wonderful holiday and stay warm in this cold and cloudy weather.
excellent video, very clearly explained
Hi
Thanks for the video,
Would you please write me the measures on the Chrysler Voyager.
Thanks again for your efforts
This video so satisfying.. My reverse light not working and also reverse sensor.. It was due to a bad reverse switch..
Great work thanks for the sharing ☺👍my car censor all ready broken and not functioning anymore 😞I don't think so I'm brave and capable for fix that
2002-2004 Honda Odyssey rear sensor Installation is a little more tricky but still similar to the one in this video. When drilling your holes for the sensors you'll need to avoid the inner reinforcement steel beam directly behind the plastic bumper. There's no need to remove the rear bumper completely but I highly recommend to at least peel back the plastic bumper by not removing the bottom underneath fasteners so you can see where the holes can be drilled, . The two center #2 & #3 sensors will end up being a little further apart than recommended about 27 inches apart . The two outer sensors #1 & #4 on both ends won't be a problem to clear of the inner steel enforcement. Also, the back-up light on the older Odyssey models is in the lift gate so it's going to require some extra wire fishing to get the wires to the inside of the Driver's quarter panel. Be expecting to take a good afternoon to complete the job.
This is really my favourite Channel!
Thanks for your nice Videos,
it is very enlightening,
Waiting for your latest update.
Dunlop Park
Great video. Thanks
How much clearance do you need behind the plastic bumper for the sensors? My rear bumper cover doesn't seem to have much room behind it to install the sensors because of the steel support so close. Is the kit drill bit strong enough to drill holes in the metal as well?
Exelente muchas gracias por tu gran explicación.. gracias
Great job.
Thanks for the video. Didn't you mount the display upside-down? It has numbers to read the distance... I bought an 8-sensor kit on Amazon for under $30 I think, didn't install it yet...I may mount the display on top of the dash or on the sun visor edge where I can fold it down a couple inches to view it. It is for front & rear. I bought a GMC Envoy XUV, the model that the rear opens up like a Chevy Avalanche, and I'm stumped where to put the box and wiring---I can't think where to run the wires, I may need to run them under the vehicle because the cargo area gets hosed out and there's a divider wall with electric window behind the rear seats sealing the cargo area from the passenger area; it also folds down if I want to haul sheets of plywood. I also bought a dashcam that came with a rear camera and---same story---stuck on where to mount it and run the wiring. I can't do a license mount because the tailgate has an electric window and opens both down like a pickup and also hinges to open like old Ford station wagons...besides, my license plate mounting only has bottom holes. May need to mount next to hitch receiver... but maybe seeing I need to remove rear bumper, I can mount it centered in the bumper with the sensors while I have it off...Thanks again.
Very helpful video!! I think you should epoxy between the sensor and bumper just incase the sensor goes bad from water damage over time
No it won't get damaged by water like that. Gluing it would mean you can never removing it. Say you bump into something or the sensor goes bad, you won't be able to replace the sensor.
Great video!!!!
PARABÉNS VC ENSINAR MUITO BEM PARABÉNS
Nice job..
Thanks 👍
good job!
Nice job
Thanks
Just Installed this kit on my van.
Wow, that's fast. Glad you got yours done.
Yeah got it on sunday, finished it monday. Very straight forward, thanks to your video. You don't have to splice into the reserve light bulb, just splice into the factory back up sensor plug like you showed.
Thanks!!
if you install it upside down isn't the direction wrong? or you can set it correctly after?
Very well made video, thank you for showing all the details. I'm fed up with videos made with one hand holding the camera while trying to do the work with the other. Questions: so the power is connected to backup light power source so when it is in reverse gear the sensor will function. What about the last part of the video? You approached the back of the vehicle and the alarm sounds. Was the engine on then? I'm assuming so cause when you're in a parking lot and trying to backup(even before gearing to reverse) you want to know if there are cars or people coming from the other direction. And you don't want the sensors on when the vehicle is quietly parked in your garage or a parking space.
That last part of the testing is with car running and gear in reverse. The backup sensors only come on when gear in reverse. It does not come on when you have it park or drive. This is same as how a factory system work.
I just bought an opel astra j sports tourer with the exact system installed, second hand car, the wiring seems legit, still no impute on the panel, maybe it got the source miss locked or maybe the on/off panel button(that's missing) it's locked on off position? Any ideea on how to eventually bypass the missing button and give activation imput to the panel?
Thank you. I am installing 5% tints on my rear windows (old car) so I need sensors to reverse. Thank you.
good job.
How can my you tell the front versus the back ? If you want sensors in the front and the back ?
Well done 👍 and I have some questions did you choices the ABCD or Because I buy now with 8 Sensor and it doesn’t have ABCD should I choose the The ABCD
Most of the kits are labeled already. If not, just plug it in one at a time and keep them in order.
Good video
can i connect a normal parking sensor device in to a bmw e87 canbus car sistem
Thank Q
Could I buy another 2 extra sensors and just tap them to 2 of the sensors that is connected to the module? I plan to put the extra 2 in the font bumper
^^ Oh... Thank yoy for your video.
Thanks for your comment!
Just bought one. Thanks for the video. Anyway to adjust the volume?
No
Put some electrical tape over the speaker hole
Thanks for the informative video. Can I fix this on front bumper? Please advise
@Rama Nrusimhadevara Thanks
Thanks for your explanation. One question. How do you read distance, if you mounted the monitor upside down on the inside roof?
The practical way of using the system is listen to the beeps. Once the beeping gets really fast to almost constant, you know you need to stop. This is same way you use a factory backup system. Basically no need to read the little number.
Nice car by the way
David g mp
Thank you for the video. You don't get that much information from the instructions manual.
Very nice
Hey when you installed the new parking sensors, did you put a bead of enteringsilicone on the inside around the sensor to prevent water entering or it's not necessary?
Not necessary. Behind the bumper is also exposed to the element and gets wet and dirt.
I was wondering how well these cheap systems worked! I was skeptical on buying one for the wife’s pickup truck! Looks like it works fine, only thing I’m worried about is will it have long enough wires to reach from the bumper on an ext. cab Chevy Silverado to the dash for the display?
The sensor wire is 8' long (connecting to the controller box). The display module wire is 16' long.
dial2fast oh well this should be plenty then! Thx for the info brother
Is the monitor upside down? Was it meant to install on the dashboard?
2:23 What's the name of the tool that brings the rotational power from the drill to the narrow space?
Good vid but I only want the sensor on when reversing only when I put in any other gear it shuts off
Nice video! Do you have to cut the reversing wires for you able to tap the red wire of the sensor? Im afraid to void my warranty if such wire cutting were involve. Thanks
You don't cut the wire. You need to tap into the wire. Watch this video: czcams.com/video/uaYdCRjDr4A/video.html Go to 5:44 to learn how to tap a wire.
i See! thanks for this. Its a big help! all the best!
Great job, but by mounting the led display upside down on the liner, doesn't that mean the distance display digits are shown upside down? It looked like that on the final test you did at end of video?
In reality you don't need to look at the display when using it. Just listen to the beep and beeps faster as you get closer. In all the years I have used it, I never look at the display and just listen to the beep.
Love it
Do you think this will work for my 4 door truck??? Like the length? With the bed?
The sensor wire is 8' long (connecting to the controller box). The display module wire is 16' long. So with those measurement, you can see if it will work.
I'm wondering if you put 2 sensors at the rear activated by the reverse, how could you activate 2 sensors installed on the front ?
You can but then you would have to connect it to a power source where it is activated when the ignition is on like the cigarette lighter but then it will be ON constantly unless you use a seperate switch that you can switch on when you are parking.
Thinking to do the same… is it a good idea?
Compared to factory sensors, how is this unit? Is it really sensitive? Can you control the warning noise level?
+MrRangerZr1 These kits work very well. Just as good as factory. You don't get false alerts for no reason (when they work). You can't change the volume.
Looks like it has solid reviews. How's it working currently?
Working fine, no issue
MrRangerZr1
You can place the loudspeaker in a foam insulation, inside of the trunk plastic covers, just to dimm the sound. It is not necessary to watch the parking distance on the display.
hi, i have parking sensor installed in my car and i tap in the reverse light wire, now im planning to add backup camera and need power source also, can i tap it in the same reverse camera and merge with parking sensor ?
Yes you can tap an additional device to that wire
Can you do a video on electromagnetic parking sensors please. Those require no drilling. Very cheap. Looking forward to your answer.
Sokol Murati The electromagnetic sensors i found required the car to get very close ( like
+Michael Chong Thanks for sharing!
I change the sensor kit on my SAAB with cheap chinese unit and found that it was faulty,so it may be good idea to test it before to put the bumper or test on bench before installation.
Nice one. I had a 6 sensor system installed 4 for the rear and 2 for the front corners. Since you installed the display upside down i guess you don't use the distance display and just use the beeping? I actually had installed a reverse and front camera too because the sensors can't be trusted to pick up everything. The rear corner sensors pick up anything the rear camera misses. The front sensors/camera comes in handy in close quarter parallel parking..Allows me to get much closer than i would if i was just eyeballing it.
mpcp27 I was going to ask about the display, noticed he had it upside down. I wonder if it can be opened and rotated. I like where he has it too. Nice idea since you're already looking back there.
Hey, will it also work i.e. beep if lets say a person is standing talking on phone behind your car as you try to back up? In other words, does it detect only large stationary objects or people too? If latter, if that person starts walking sideways while you're backing up, does it still beep or does person have to be stationary in order for this thing to work? Thx
It detects any objects including people, wall, pole, kids, etc
I used your video to successfully install a 4-sensor parking system in my old Corsa. I have one question: Can I connect the black wire from the power line (the ground) directly to the car's chasis without using the existing cables? Is there any risk of discharging the battery If I do this?
Yes you can connect the ground wire to a chassis ground.
Hi it is a very helpful video but I have a little bit of concern about the product, especially the connection between the brain and the sensors. The sensors in the box have not been labelled or marked which one goes where to. Do you think it is going to be OK to use? or actually it does not matter how we set up the sensors and I can label it when the set up is done. Looking forward to your answer and God bless you
You can label the sensors yourself before you install it. That way you know the order of the installed sensors.
@@dial2fast thanks for the quick reply it is going to be very helpful for me have a good day sir
What template or measuring specs did you use for the holes in the rear bumper? Thanks in advance..
On this Honda Odyssey, the inside of the bumper has markings stamped on it from the factory. I just used those locations. If you have a different vehicle, you can put painters tape on the outside of the bumper, then measure equal distance and height for each sensor (or match close to what location factory uses if it's an option).
@@dial2fast Thanks for the reply. I have a 2010 EX-L res/nav. I'll be looking for the marks on the inside of bumper. Thanks again!
Can it be connected to the 12v socket or does it need to be connected to the battery via crocodile clips?
Neither. As stated in the video, connect power to reverse light.
I cut these holes too big, since this saw was bad, now i have a litlle gap around sensor. With what I can fill it up? Black acryl silicon?
Regular silicone or RTV silicone.
Does the sensor work all the time ? Or just when you put it in reverse gear ? In my country people get stuck in traffic a lot. I would be deaf from that noise if it kept beeping every time a bike or car came close enough to my sensor. So do please answer.
This is a backup sensor. Hence only on when car in reverse.
My question is.. when you try the sensor while you where getting near, is the gear were on reverse position? Because I think you connected the wires at the reverse wires of the lights before it will activate. Right?
Yes, the parking sensor only turn on when car in reverse.
@@dial2fast thank you. Highly appreciated 👍😊
how do you know where to make the holes?
Hi- i need to extend 2 bumper senors about 3 foot. What guage wire do you recommend? Ty
Probably 20 gauge will work fine.
are the 4 sensors independant ? i.e. playing with the hand in front of each successively generates 4 corresponding bip series
The 4 sensors are independent. The LED display has 4 different segments for the 4 sensors. The beep sound is the same for all 4 sensors.
Just the sensor with the smallest distance measurement is used i guess. Otherwise the system wouldn’t make sense. If there is a little pole behind the left of your car, you want to stop before that pole and not what is further away in front of the other sensors.
You were not kidding when you said "inexpensive" lol, didn't expect less than $20! I'm thinking of getting this for my Jeep Wrangler, pretty sure my rear bumper is metal with just a plastic covering, how well does that little hole drill handle metal?
Just spray some WD-40 or other spray lubricant as you drill, and the drill bit should last for the install.
@@dial2fast good to know, thanks!
Are these 4 sensors are two separate transmitter- receiver pair?
One for left and one for right judgement?
Or
All are four separate combined tx+rx each?
Regards
Each sensor is a separate sensing unit. There really is no Tx/Rx as in data being sent. The sonar sensor probably changes resistance when objects get close to it.
They are 40khz piezo electric elements. emitting short pulses of ultrasonics then capture echo.
Then by doing math using microcontroller to estimate the distance to the reflection surface.
As we know velocity of sound in air as around 340m/s
There is an ultrasound transmission and reception.
Can you only just plug in the sensor and not the display?
Will it still work?
The display has the buzzer for the audio warning.
How is the sensor detecting you when walking up to it? I thought it was only powered on when the car is in reverse.
The car was put in reverse gear.
Will be readable if you put the display screen upside down?🤔
Thanks pls show me brand & price?
My front sensor got damaged, honda freed blue. How can I have access to the new ones for me to replace the old ones? In my country they are not available. Please help.
Aliexpress
Hey I got some, mine don't say ABCD so which one goes where?
Hi i have a question
It is there anyway to lower down the volume? i have it and i think is very loud.
Put cover the beeper hole with a Tape
Can i connect the ground on the ground of reverse light
The ground wire on the light is not a good ground. Connect it to an actual chassis ground.
Can you paint the sensors without damaging
You can paint it but make sure it's not too thick with the paint.
How long did your old sensor last before you need to replace it?
After I took the old one out, I examined all the parts, and found 1 sensor to have gone bad perhaps with water getting into the sensor itself. The rest of the parts including control box was fine. I had that in the car for about 8 years.
8 years is not bad at all for that cheap price.
Can you calibrate the censor distance?
No you cannot.
Does this only work while parking, or is this constant?
It works when the car is in reverse.
hey I installed it in my car you think we can change the sound of the sensor its really annoying
My parking sensor stopped working. How can I check which once is faulty or the module is faulty
