WATERPROOF
Sensors are completely waterproof, giving you convenience in variety of uses.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This high-quality sensor system is the complete package that works independently of other systems and comes with everything needed for installation. This Backup Sensor System provides drivers with a detection range of 8 feet.
The system comes with 4 sensors which mount on the rear bumper and a small LED display console. The console notifies the driver of the distance between their vehicle and the vehicle or objects behind them.
When objects behind the vehicle become closer the audio “beeps” become faster and quicker. The sensors, control module, and cables are waterproof which allow for installation either inside or outside the vehicle.
