Anyone try a backup sensor?
Looking at backup sensors for front and back and wonder if anyone has tried some? I would not stick them on the bumper but would mount them on rear license plate and front grill, just don't know if it would work.

I would like to see this as a factory option. I have sensors on my 2007 Lincoln navigator. They are integrated somewhere on the rear bumper and are undetectable.
In my opinion, all cars should include proximity sensors. It would help eliminate many of the two vehicles parking lot fender bender's we occasionally read about on the forum.

You will get a lot of dissenting opinions about this and mine is one of them. It is my belief that people are becoming far too dependant upon these nanny's. Under no circumstances should the operator of a motor vehicle get comfortable with the idea of "backing up until the car says stop". To me, learn to adjust your mirrors, learn to use your mirrors and stop putting the onus on the manufacturer to babysit. The primary responsibility for the safe operation of the motor vehicle is in the hands of the driver. If people would not allow so many distractions to enter in to the cabin of the vehicle and perhaps pay attention to what the task at hand is, that in my opinion would eliminate many of the two vehicle parking lot fender bender's we read about on the forum.
I was at a Home Depot parking lot waiting for traffic stuck behind a big SUV. I was stuck in his blind spot and he almost crunched my rear quarter panel. The sensors are primarily for the stuff you can't see. (I can only turn my neck one way at a time). If they were standard issue I'm sure you would grow to like them. Kind of like seatbelts. If not, I'm sure they would be easy to disconnect.
