I got some sensors for £13.50 and some colour matched spray paint from Volvo for £13.99 and fitted them in under an hour. I can live with turning the radio down when reversing to be honest as its not exactly the most difficult thing to do.
Its so easy to do you have got to be a bit mental to pay the money quoted above. £230 or £450 from volvo. Im even more pleased with my handy work.

I did think about sensors for a while, but I fitted a camera to the taigate & hooked it up to my head unit.

Seeing is believing!

Parking sensors, I ask Mrs PA to get out and tell me how much further I have to go back before I hit something.

If she's in a good mood she'll do it, otherwise I abandon Christine.
