Hello guys, I just join the forum and I already got lots of info.
philipa_240sx, IMO, the backup sensor install in the bumper is much easier than removing the panel in the door.Also, before I forget, the cable you can use for power the backup sensor or camera, is the Green/silver dots. It took me a while to find it.
I have installed many backup sensors on all our SUVs(CRV/Element/MDX)
The camera from Costco takes a long time to come on. You place the car in Reverse and then you have to wait almost three seconds to see the pic.I think it is an option to leave the LCD screen always on. I didn't like it.
Also, I rather have the sensors than the camera. One split second and I won't see a kid behind a bumper. I trust the sensors a little more, just my opinion.
I just installed a backup sensors, the type that you don't have to drill holes, it is a tape that goes across the bumper(inside). I removed the bumper and installed them. Don't like them!
So I ordered a diff sensors, I mean different.I got them in the mail yesterday and got them from Fleabay.They flip open when you place the car in rev and closes when you take it off.The quality is amazing, and it comes with four sensors. They only sell the sensors in black color(NO PROBLEM) but I'll paint the in Silver color(I done in the past and there is no problem).
I'll install them on Monda and post pics.BTW, when I removed the rear bumper, there is marks already there for the backup sensors.
Here is a pic of the ones I will be using. I paid like $70 shipped.
