kazman Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Can anyone confirm if they work ok with the metal crash beam behind the 350z? And if they do, is there any additional parts required? Thanks chaps, would hate to go to all the work of getting the bumper off only to find the product is no good.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 there's a thread about these somewhere, not sure if anyone actaully bought them and tested them or not though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazman Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yes i saw that thread a while back. As you say though, it was all in the land of theory... Edit - thats not true, there is a post from someone who says it works fine as there is polystyrene between crash bar and bumper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 i v got both front and rear from parking dynamics or smth. they work fine. some interferance from the rear but nothing much and i havent even insulated the bar. my rear ones are the ones with the little digital indicator cons....they are very very loud. especially the rear ones. think of a lorry reversing and they dont start beeping unless you are really close...they start beeping when the normal ones would be making the continuous sound!!! but you can park at very tight spaces.

Thats dissapointing that they only start working when close, i would hope they start quite early so i have confidence they are working! I understand using the second aerial that is supplied boosts the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo-ninja Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I was considering these, as i find it a real pain to judge the back, often find that ive got loads of space when i thought i had none. But if they only work for the last 10cm or so it bearly seems worth it... Or is it longer then that? noise wise you just put some mufferling over the speaker, i wouldnt worry about that, somone said use tissue or tape over it , and it reduces the noise down to 50% or so...

[ ] that much from the car behind me. front ones are a bit more inaccurate and dont really trust them but i v got the amuse front bumper and its shape is a bit weird to install the antenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
