sssilver New Member 18 Member For: 14y 5m 27d Posted 15/11/10 10:50 PM Share Posted 15/11/10 10:50 PM Hey guysI had ford fit aftermarket reverse sensors to my ute. They mounted them on the lower bumper about 30cm from the ground. The install instructions says to mount them between 50 and 80cm. They are useless they always pick up the ground and dont work at all if I have a load in the tray.Ford put me on to the installer and he said that's where they put them on all the utes and they never have problems with them. Has anyone had after market reverse sensors fitted and where abouts are they mounted?I really need some feedback so I can go back to ford and the installer and tell them where others have had them installed and if they have problems with them.ThanksSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there bloody loud! I think anywhere else though and theyld look pretty average. And mounting them in the tailgate would be a monster job.

And is it a display inside the cab or just noise? Cheers in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just make a noise no display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
