Anyone install a curb alert parking sensor or something similar? Curb Alert I just picked up a Touring Sport and I know one of these days I'll end up parking it on top of some parking stop. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this or some other sensor?

I haven't installed them as yet but Amazon has a good selection of front and rear sensors.

I really don't want to drill out holes in the bumper. Interestingly there doesn't appear to be many options. that don't require a drill.

that's pretty cool. i like how it's not obvious looking like most proximity sensors on lux cars.

Not a bad system at all and great price. Seems like a great thing to have for even just the peace of mind that you can avoid those situations.

That's because they can't drive.

Some offerings are a long invisible strip stuck onto the back of wherever you want to stick it.

The box warns that metallic parts may interfere which put me off but
the center bit being behind the small area of a licence plate seemed to make no difference to it.

I found it was sensitive to relative movement rather than "closeness".
Good and cheap.

"Beeper reverse" was on the box. Made in China..but then so are some other bits of a 370Z. which also has USA and Czech Republic bits too!
