On a serious note... I have rear corner sensors (from the factory) with the buzzer near the gear stick.

They can be handy but if they hadn't been on when I bought it I doubt I would have fitted them...

I could have used a pair last time I suffered from the dreaded reversing blindness.

fortunately I only hurt my pride...

With parking sensors, you get what you pay for, I've seen enough cheap ones need replacement to know that.

I always use Cobra or Meta sensors on new cars, and rarely have issues with any of them.

Installation is quite easy, figuring out where to drill the holes is the only difficult part.
