Next Project - Backup Warning

This is not one of those annoying beepers that turns on when the car goes into reverse. Instead, it will beep when I am backing up, and I get close to something. I'm not going to use the ugly display that comes with it, just the beeper. I'm also not going to drill holes in the bumper. I'll find another way to attach the sensors. The price is ridiculously good, so I hope it works.

Glad you are not going to use that display.
When I first saw it I thought it looked incredibly dated. Almost like something from "Knight Rider" in the 80's. Which was OK in 1982, but not so cool in 2017.

I hope as a project it works out for you. Sometimes "Ridiculously Good Price" can translate into "Too Good To be True".
Let us know how it plays out.

Yeah, I know what your mean about the price, but it was made in China. I think I paid about $15.

Yes, that display is ridiculous. I figure I can make brackets to attach a couple of the sensors to the trailer hitch or something else back there. I don't want them hanging down where they'll get ripped off.
