Hi Maple I got rid of your Poll it didn't make sense.. (sorry)

I have reversing camera and parking sensors in my current car and reckon they are worth A$695 if you can get them for that..  :goodjob:

There are cheaper options available from Ebay but factory install would be neater and come with Hyundai warranty..

Hi Dazzler

I meant should I fit the sensor with the dealer or buy it at eBay and fit by a mechanic? What's everyone's experience? Any difficulty with this accessory?

But I think you answered my question. Thanks

WoW - AUD $695  :rofl:

You can get the same type of ebay for about AUD $40 (3 or 4 sensors). Only 2 wires to connect. One to the (-) ground/body, the other one to one of the reversing light wires(+).

There is just a control box/sounder that the sensors plug into (placed behind the rear side boot trim). And the 2 wires coming from it to connect as I said above.

Get a good local repair shop to quote you for fitting. Find out who your local Hyundai dealer uses.

Well if he wants a double din unit in place of the standard radio with all the bells and whistles then that might be an okay price. I know some of those units can work with reversing camera etc.

somebody posted about a sensorless reversing kit a while ago, so there isn't any holes required.  :idea: :wink:

I have seen them. They use a metal type tape that sticks inside the bumper(s), so you still need to remove the bumper(s) to fit the tape. Not sure they work that well either. I only say that because I would have thought that car companies would have adopted the system if it was good so as not to have the sensors showing.

EDIT: link to Electromagnetic Parking Sensors HERE (opens in a new window).

I had the colour coded Hyundai sensors x 4, included in the deal but they had quoted me $590.00 inc GST and installed for my MY2011 cw Trophy. They are a brilliant accessory and worth every cent .... they have saved our lazy dogs life several times now  :).

Hyundai sells ultrasonic sensors for AUD$385 (not including labour). If they can do better works...?!

Where can I buy the electromagnetic ones? eBay?



BTW The ipod cable costs for $95. Surprising!!! (Sorry I'm a new owner)  :o

With regards to the electromagnetic parking sensors, Peugeot were fitting them as an accessory for a very brief period but withdrew them from the market due to the poor operation of the kit. I'd think if a major manufacturer couldn't get a good performance from them, the aftermarket guys may struggle too?
Just my 0.02 cents worth.
