The only reason that we only have one is cos I;ve not worked out a way to fix one into the Sprint. The one in the Giulietta mounts on the back shelf. Generally I've found installation to be simple, but then I do do most of my own fettling and DIY. Personally I prefer ones that mount on the rear shelf so it can be seen in the rear view mirror. Also, more sensors = better. You can get a bit dependant on them, and lamp posts *will* fit between them.

If so, are >they any good and any recommendations would be much appreciated. My 147 has a http://www.metasystem.it/car/eng/sensori_gb.htm two-sensor one from MetaSystem, fitted, I believe, by the garage (car was ex-demonstrator). I wouldn't be without it! (I need a front one too though, the number of multi-story carpark walls I've bounced off must be... 3 or 4. That's when I forget to turn on the sidelights which put me about a foot from the wall when the beams un-cross.) It's got two lights on the beeper thingy on the back screen, a red one and an amber one. One, or the other, flashes with the beep. Can I work out what the difference is? (no, I can't - doesn't *seem* to be left side and right side) Anyone? dom. |
