I'm sitting at the dealership right now. When I had my Remote Start installed they messed up and installed the basic system -- the one that makes you carry around two keyfobs. This wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't already forced to deal with a million keys on my keyring as well...

So the accessoies manager is ordering the correct parts, and said the difference would be about $125. Regardless of cost, I just want everything on one keyfob!

At the same time I'm going to have him install the Backup Sensor system. I forget what he quoted but it wasn't that much. I'm noticed most truck have the two sensor system, but some have four. Is there much of a difference between the two? He stated the four sensor version was more accurate, but I'm not splitting hairs here. The only thing that sucks is it's an extra $50 to have them color matched to my freakin truck! I CAN back up, but I get a little shy when I'm around 3 ft away.

Does the stock system have any sort of display telling you how close you are to an object, and to what side the object is? Or is it completely audible?

Thanks!

 

I know nothing about the stock one but I installed the 2 senser one off of E-bay that comes from Hong Kong and it works great for $58. Has led meter and feet and audio tone. Works perfect. Very easy to install. The F-150 was a lot more difficult to back up then my Tahoe.

 

The stock one is purely audible. I have the 4 sensor one, and it is usually pretty accurate. It "tells" me to stop when I get to within 4-6 inches of the object. I have found that its range is so wide, it will occasionally pick up the curb when backing into a spot. Hope this helps.
