Thanks

I have a new one in the box, and one on my rear bumper. It works, but since I put it on my license plate, it hadn't been on there ten minutes before my wife stepped on it... Doesn't always seem very accurate, but that may be 'foot involved'. As a back up alarm the beep works great. When you put it in reverse, it makes a loud chirp, that gets people out of my way in parking lots. That made it worth leaving even after it got stepped on. Still looks OK.
Did you want to use one for parking? Or as a backup alarm? As a parking in the garage aid, I find a hanging tennis like ball works best.

Thanks Chris. Looking for a back up alarm when I'm out in the woods. Trying to avoid running into trees, off cliffs etc.

Keep looking. This is not the answer. It works to warn you of about backing into a large building, or a sedan, but sometimes it can't see a telephone pole at one foot...
It also has lousy side vision, if you know what I mean.
I am sad I bought two of em.
They were cheap, but you just can't trust it. The alarm part (the chirp) when you engage it is the only reason I keep it.

I have a backup camea and indash monitor that I use in nasty places. You might want something like that.
