Rear sensors vs Camera
 
Hi, I have read a few posts about rear sensors and rear cameras but what are peoples thoughts on these?
Iv'e never had either but was considering one of them for various reasons.
The car is small and I feel it may be a waste of money but some of the spaces at work are insanely tight with big concreate pillars and the wife is not great at reverse parking in our garage.
rear sensors = $400 fitted by dealer, not sure on camera price but i've seen some dodgy installs lol...
I'm leaning towards neither atm..and just putting towards opticoat as that is hugely expensive at $850, WA prices!!:mad0260:

Jason on here has done a very neat diy rear camera fitment. Looked very tidy. I would suggest looking at aftermarket parking sensors for your wifes driving.

I did a front and rear camera setup on mine that I'm very happy with. Was a pain the ass but turned out well. I especially love the front cam do I don't nudge curbs with the bumper when parking

ok thanks guys i'll have a look at the camera setups, love the idea of front and back cams, I thought 400 was a good price for rear sensors, why would your preference be aftermarket?
Im goona look for the diy but if anyone can recommend installers for this in Perth that would be great :)
