TKOOFN Car Parking Reverse Reversing Backup Radar System with 8 Parking Sensor Front 4 Rear 4 LED Display - Sliver

TKOOFN Car Parking Reverse Reversing Backup Radar System with 4 Parking Sensor Kit LED Display - Grey - M04003-08 Easy to fit and the sensors don't feel flimsy. Once drilled in using the drill bit supplied the sensors fit securely against the car. I fed the display part down the side panels of the car and up past the glove box and in the center of my dash, hardly notice it until in reverse and it lights up. I fitted on a Vauxhall Insignia (2010) and the colour matched really well - (Grey sensors)

Installation took a while, but that's partly down to my old Megane Sport Tourer - behind the rear plastic bumper centre section there was a steel bar that limitsed the depth available for the sensors - I had to make spacers from perspex to gain depth. And getting the cable to the dashboard unit is awkward due to the folding rear seats. There may be less hassle in other cars, or maybe more, it just depends on the design. But having installed the system and connected the supply wires across the reversing lights it works a treat. It might be a bit too quick to say "no more room" but actually it's good to get an early warning - it goes from 300 cms to zero very suddenly but as you've been alerted to the proximity of whatever obstacle is behind you, you shouldn't bump into it. The price is very good, so good that I am concerned it may not work for long! Only time will tell.

These are obv good value and I thought I’d be ambitious with a front and rear set as other purchasers have quoted 3 hour fitting time! I may be getting slower with age but I’m not a stranger to car DIY or electrics so imagine my surprise taking about 15 hours to fit over 3 weekends, but would I do it again,absolutely. I was fitting to a 2016 Vauxhall corsa 5 door. This is what happened. Step one, drilling holes was easy enough as was spraying sensors to perfect the colour match, the drill bit supplied is great, easy to use, the downside, behind the bumpers is lots of superfluous plastic, so the holes needed to be deep. I then had to decide which side of the car to run the cables - I opted for the same side as both fuse boxes (under bonnet and behind glovebox) thinking this would be the route to follow for access to most cabling, which it was. I then struggled to cable tie each sensor to the next in line every foot or so by poking sensor one cable back out hole two, then cable one and two out of hole three etc so I had neat wiring behind the bumpers. I then spent ages wasting time looking for a easy route along the chassis front to back of the car, not easy without a garage ramp, and in the end opted instead to just follow the wiring loom through the car. The next hurdle was that their seemed no route through to the dashboard or even under the windscreen. I discovered the black external trim panel under the windscreen simply clips in, so just needed to drill a small hole to get to the point where all the car wiring enters the body via a large rubber grommet. I put a small slit in this to poke the wires through, resealing with silicon. I was now at the inside fusebox to access the ignition-on circuit and any others I could identify eg for rear lights. I suspected already that the long cables supplied aren’t long enough to stretch from end to end in the car so bought 10m of 0.5mm twin core car cabling, folded this into three and started to run that to the rear of the car alongside all the front sensor wires. My plan was then to use fuse box splitters if I could find circuits in the fuse box for the reverse and brake lights - turned out splitters didn’t work, so plan b was to find said circuit ends in the boot and splice into them. Connecting to ignition-on wasn’t easy either - I found an unused fuse circuit and tested it with a voltmeter to check it only came live with keys in the ignition, and soldered one end of my triple car cable to this. The boot was the obvious location for the control panel as the cables supplied weren’t long enough for elsewhere so I fitted it behind a storage panel in the boot. None of the car cables in my car followed the colour schema supplied by the car manufacturer, many being black, so a voltmeter was handy again to check which lights are live when hazards flashing, brake light on etc. I then cut into the required cables in the boot and hatch and soldered joints onto the cables supplied for reverse, brake. For Earth -I drilled a hole and riveted the cable to the bodywork. I tested every cable at each stage but was still surprised everything worked first time - it’s a bit laggy versus a factory fitted unit but the display works well, seems accurate and is loud enough. An enjoyable project and I have two spare lengths of cable from the fuse box if I fancy fitting anything else later! One other thing, the sensor cables end up not being all the same length when they reach the control panel so the furthest aren’t long enough to reach the control panel even in my small car so I attached codes to each sensor and shortened some cables robbing Peter to pay Paul and using the excess to lengthen those that were too short - the cables are like aerial cable (with a distinct outer and inner core) so it’s hard to get wrong and it was much easier when the sensor cables were all adjusted to the same length.

Well made and worked without a hitch.

This kit will give you front and rear sensing. Plenty of sensor wire spare fitted in a Hyundai i20. Instructions are a joke. Buzzer is best described as a screech. Says connect red wire to main car ACC that auxiliary first turn on the key for radio etc, no chance connected mine up to the revering lights with the other, the unit powers up with the revering lights, works a treat. Did not connect the blue to the brake light, didn't fancy it bleeping every time I touched the brakes. WARNING the live wire to the boot light switch is normally live even when the ignition is off, The hole saw is the only other joke its just crimped on to the shaft had to grind flat and groves then glue with gorilla glue and be very gentle with it. Hope this saves you a lot of brain power working it out, Three stares only because of the instructions Biggles

Purchased these March this year, recently had them fitted . Paid 60 pounds for fitting these to my car. Worked ok, but now they start screaming when nothing's in the way.. " Gutted " . Going to have to disconnect them or replace with another type.

I fitted this parking and it is just as I had wanted. Simple to fit ,as the instructions are good and at the price it is hard to beat. Delivery was very good and customer service is as good as you can ask for. I would recommend this site to anyone👍👍

Fitted these in an hour, and I must say I'm very impressed with them, they came a grey colour and as my car is a light blue I was in 2 minds if I should spray them, so I went for it and sprayed them a light blue to match the car I thought spraying them might stop them working but it didn't. And they work perfect and look good being the same colour. 5 stars plus

Really great product! Works fine! Easy to install! Do not need a technician to do the install (see notes below), As expected! Product stills work and is pretty acurate! sound could be less annoying, but stills its worth it for the price. note: you will need a base knowledge in electricity (wire stripper and electrical tape) and, before you start drilling your bumper, make sure there is nothing behind it, in my case I found a thick foam and it was a little bit hard to find a way to the interior off the vehicle. make sure that it can be installed on your vehicle without any problems before buying.

Fonctionnement parfait de mon coté.

Parfait et prix correct

système à 8 capteurs Le point de vue d'un technicien/câbleur : ce n'est pas très cool de la part du fabricant ou distributeur de fournir un produit, au montage un peu délicat, sans une notice de montage claire avec quelques schémas souvent plus efficaces qu'un long texte, et surtout multilingue, la mienne est en allemand et commune à la caméra de recul sans objet ! 😠 Après quelques tatonnements j'en ai déduit que les commandes "feu de recul et stops" doivent se faire par le plus 12v, attention, sur certains véhicules les stops sont commandés par la masse (0v), ce qui n'active pas le système. 😢 A lire certains commentaires, les acheteurs se plaignent d'être obligé de couper les câbles des capteurs lors du démontage du pare choc, je conseille vivement l'achat (sur Amazon ! moin de 10€) de couples de connecteurs 2 broches étanches pour isoler les capteurs du faisceau, certes délicats à câbler mais efficaces en cas de remplacement du pare choc ou d'un capteur défectueux. Le produit fonctionne correctement, à part un léger retard au déclenchement, en général on se gare doucement ! j'ai constaté un déclenchement à 90cm/1m et la progression régulière jusqu'à 30cm. Le niveau sonore peut être atténué avec un "petit pois" de mousse bourré dans la sortie du bipeur Pour le prix modique, (un seul capteur de marque = 25€) un produit satisfaisant, mais à améliorer pour une bonne adaptation. L'étoile manquante c'est pour l'absence de notice de montage vers le bricoleur moyen ayant droit ! ! ! Je recommande vivement l'achat Je confirme le bon fonctionnement même avec les connecteurs rajoutés (voir photo), à noter pour ceux qui veulent faire un test "sur table" avant montage de ne pas utiliser une alimentation 220/12v à découpage car le transfert à haute fréquence perturbe le circuit pilote et il fait n'importe quoi ou rien du tout 😠 donc soit un transfo/diodes ou la batterie 👍 Un petit détail subtil : le contrôle vers l'avant avec la pédale de frein reste encore quelques segondes même après relachement (mini led au centre du display) pour laisser la voiture avancer doucement, c'est assez pratique ! alors qu'en recul c'est immédiat à la coupure du feu de recul. Une bonne note aussi pour la mini scie cloche qui fait un excellent travail à condition de faire un avant-trou de 3.5mm (intérieur) qui permet d'attaquer la découpe côté peinture et percer sans éclats (photo), j'ai pu profiter des marquages intérieurs pour être parfaitement aligné et symétrique surtout sur les arrondis ! Donc à nouveau une bonne recommendation d'achat + + + Un dernier détail pour les amoureux du travail net, pour la mise en place et bonne tenue des capteurs, il est recommandé d'amincir les bords des trous à l'intérieur à l'aplomb des crans caoutchouc pour qu'ils se placent et tiennent correctement,et pour ceux qui doutent, deux ou trois perles de silicone à l'arrière Alors bons montages ! ! ! 😊 Suite et fin du montage, attention, sur les véhicules récents avec surveillance des ampoules des feux, le 12v qui les alimente (feu recul ou stops) n'est pas utilisable pour des signaux de commande vers des circuits électroniques délicats et provoque des disfonctionnements. Alors une solution s'impose, intercaler deux mini relais piloté par ces commandes et dont les contacts pris sur le plus après contact (propre !) activent le boitier du radar pour AV ou AR avec succès. 👍 Je pense que que beaucoup d'achateurs mécontents ont dû se trouver dans cette situation 😢, alors si on peux apporter un peu d'aide, c'est mieux 🤣 ! ! ! Fin de séance conseil et bon montage à tous

I have had this product for a few months and so far it works great. I actually concerned about its performance at low temperature but it survived the coldest January. Everything is fine with me except that it may not detect accurately with distance less than 0.5m. But with the price I should not expect more.
