BAFE Posted 23July, 2013 Report Share Posted 23July, 2013 Hey all, I noticed while driving a range of Boxsters that one of he first things I loved was the view out the side mirrors. You seem to look over the rear guards not just past them. But I also noticed that the rear view is a little limited with regards to parking. I'm thinking parking sensors might be the go? So looking for some aftermarket sensors and just as importantly a good company to install them? Any suggestions eastern suburbs of Melbourne ?

withers Posted 23July, 2013 Report Share Posted 23July, 2013 Hey bafe, sorry my car already had them so I don't know of an installer. I don't have them in the front only rear. I must say it has taken some getting used to the front of the car, it forms a point so have found I'm usually much closer to curbs than I first realise. I think they are a great addition to the Boxster. But given your hips comment I thought I'd add a photo whilst you get some ideas from PFA'ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAFE Posted 23July, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 23July, 2013 I do pride myself on being able park almost anything , back traitors etc and I know I'll get used to the P but I'd hate to learn the hard way and scrape it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hepkat63 Posted 20December, 2013 Report Share Posted 20December, 2013 I've used these on my other cars before and would be perfect for a Porsche or any other prestige car where you didn't want to drill holes or have it obvious. http://www.ebay.com/itm/No-Drill-No-Holes-Easy-Fit-Car-Parking-Sensor-/170827488114 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFE Posted 20December, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 20December, 2013 I like the idea of no holes being drilled in the car... (But also had to laugh when they then show a guy drilling a hole in the rear panel to get a cable to the ECU) but after my recent attempts to do anything on the car turned to sh1t i don't think i should go near it….

StevepGT3 Posted 20December, 2013 Report Share Posted 20December, 2013 just found these. the spiel sounds the same so may be the same but repackaged I have ordered some and will report when installed http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190849459279?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be taken for a ride like that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevepGT3 Posted 12January, 2014 Report Share Posted 12January, 2014 just found these. the spiel sounds the same so may be the same but repackaged I have ordered some and will report when installed http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190849459279?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Fitted this to the front of the wifes car yesterday, I hard wired it in as (and she agrees ) that remembering to turn it on may not happen,Its designed to be wired up to the reversing lights but we needed it on the front,I put a connector in line so it can be unplugged when working on the car. It works just like it says on the box picking up even small objects and light plant foliage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevepGT3 Posted 19January, 2014 Report Share Posted 19January, 2014 UPDATE hard wired is no good as it picks up the road during cornering and braking. So if you need it on the front you need to run it through a switch unfortunately. rear is ok as that is only active when reversing lights are on.
