Reverse Parking Sensors For 2001 Galaxy

[omar]

On eBay reverse parking sensors are really cheap - £12

Are these any good? How much effort is required to install?
One of the things I was concerned about was drilling through the bumper
Are there any things I should avoid doing?

Thanks

anyone?
i've checked out a few videos on utube and i can see that u have to drill holes in the bumper
if everyone else is doing, it must be ok

if anyone else has installed, it would be great to hear back
thanks

I installed these: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silver-Parking-Reversing-Sensor-Buzzer/dp/B001I1AG18/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1352220781&sr=8-4"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silver-Parking-Reversing-Sensor-Buzzer/dp/B001I1AG18/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1352220781&sr=8-4[/url]
On my MK1 Gal. Work nicely even with a tow bar in the middle and the silver matches well. Easy to install with a bit of electronic know how and a good drill. Once you have found the power to the reverse lights it is just a case of plugging all the bits together. Any questions feel free.......

They are installed in the '96 Mk1 GLX I just bought but don't work. They were bought with the car from new.

Whenever you stick it in reverse you get a continuous tone but no beeps It only has 3 sensors so would this amazon one work if I only connected three of the sensors?

I think it would but I'm not sure that it would give you enough coverage, the Galaxy is a wide car and 4 is stretching it!

I've just bought the Cisbo kit - £16. I had one before and it was great. It's very simple once you find the correct power wire to the reverse lights. Does anyone know where this is on the Sharan 2002?
