Ajedi72 Neutral Newbie May 30, 2006 Share May 30, 2006 Guys, thinking of having these install on my ride. One too many bumps on the bumper prompting me to do so ... as much as I don't want to ... any issues on this ... I check with the service engineer at Audi ... Votex reverse sensors cost $450 including installation ... after market cost $120 for 2 eyes and $180 for 4 eyes ... any issues? any recommendations? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkotody Neutral Newbie May 30, 2006 Share May 30, 2006 Pls don't waste your $ fitting the $450 ones.The after market ones work perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress Clutched May 30, 2006 Share May 30, 2006 Since there are already 2 sensors and bumps are also there, leave it alone and drive a little more careful. Nothing beats the driver's sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress Clutched May 30, 2006 Share May 30, 2006 FYI, saw a few cars with Video camera fitted to the back of the car, apparently for reversing. You might want to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajedi72 Neutral Newbie May 31, 2006 Author Share May 31, 2006 A bit costly for that option as I would need an LCD display right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortress Clutched May 31, 2006 Share May 31, 2006 Mark II eyeballs are the best. Anyway, try getting someone to guide you while reversing, and stop you when you are about 6 inches from the back, stare hard into your mirror and look out for markers on your car windscreen to understand the distant. Relying on sensors will bring other problems.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwert Clutched June 1, 2006 Share June 1, 2006 Go for the cheaper ones, works perfectly and no point paying so much more for the Votex ones. Spend the money on other mods that would worth more... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
