Taurus T123 Parking Sensor! No Ugly Sonic Sensors?

What! a Parking Sensor with no ugly ultra sonic sensors to mount in the bumper? a Parking Sensor with no holes to drill in the bumper? a Parking Sensor with no wires to run at the back of the bumper?

How is this possible, and why i asked myself, being the car gadget nut i am.

I drive a Ford Focus and am constantly cautious when reversing as i always feel like i'm nearer than i am to objects, such as kerbs, small walls, barriers, people and children. You never quite know when you are close or 3 feet away, everytime you under or over estimate.

It was time to put the Tauras T123 Parking Sensor to test!

> Will it work?
> Is it reliable and consistent with the parking feedback to the driver?
> Is it easy to fit?
> Is it worth the money?
> Is there any maintenance?

Well after 2 weeks the results are in:

WOW! that is my review of this Car Parking Sensor Device. The Taurus T123 Parking Sensor is exceptional in design, quality and performance!

Product:
The gadget itself comprises of:
1) An adhesive strip antenna that you stick (literally) on the innerside of your bumper.
2) You also get a magic box that does all the trickery and creats a magnetice field that sends the data of he distance you are from objects you are reversing towards.
3) The speaker to give you the accurate audible data of your distance. This provides 3 different tones, not close, closer and just right and this is adjustable with a screwdriver by turning a button. Trust me this is loud enough and mounts at the back of the car.


Installation:
To kick off you have to release the bumper so you can get access to the rear, this is alot easier than it sounds, a couple of screws and this releases. You then find a suitable location to mount the adhesive anntenna. You then connect (with the connector provided) the wire and this connects to the magnetic field magic box.
2 wires:
1 connects to your reverse wire to get the singal when to work.
2 connects to an earth.

Thats it! Turn your ignition on and test by walking towards the rear of your car and adjust if necessary, how easy is that?

And the technology used in the Taurus T123 Parking Sensor is unique as this device uses a 100% reliable magnetic field whereas the ultra sonic type of parking sensor uses antiquated ultra sonics that aren't 100% reliable. The ultra sonic heads can go faulty, which then means you have to install a whole new unit, they can break, get dirty, etc. Too much hassle for me with the ultra sonics.

So thats it the Taurus T123 Parking Sensor passes my test and gets 10 out of 10. Check it out here: Car Parking Sensor Direct

Where to buy:
I bought mine from Car Parking Sensor Direct and had delivery in 24 hours, and not only that but the product is guaranteed for 2 years and it came with a 30 day money back guarantee. How good is that?
