Front Parking Sensor

[cargovanconversion]

Some time ago I installed a backup parking sensor and couldn't do without it anymore. Although I have a backup camera, the audible signal from the sensor works great. Now I installed one behind the front bumper.

This installation was more complicated than the other; the removal of the front bumper of my Ford Transit, getting through the firewall and finding a power source and location for a manual switch.

As always, I have detailed every step on the Project’s Page, and added lots of pictures and videos.

Comments are welcome!

Why do you need something to beep at you when driving forward? :huh:

Does the manual switch not entail a greater presence of mind than looking out the windshield?

Not criticizing, I just don't understand the benefit yet.

I regularly park facing another vehicle and I can creep up to within a couple of inches, whether I can see the opposing bumper or not.Very useful in big cities or Canada, where parking spots tend to be smaller. It's just another layer of protection for an otherwise blind spot. Hope that makes sense.
