The different systemsParking with one vehicle isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Especially if there are narrow parking spaces in the city centre, damage to already parked cars can quickly occur. According to the insurers, around 40 percent of the reported damage is caused at low speed or by parking attempts. Modern technology can help to prevent such unnecessary cases. A parking aid is a practical component which is part of the basic equipment of many new vehicles or can be retrofitted. The different systems are based on different technologies, which differ in price. In the case of reversing alarms, a reversing camera and/or acoustic signals work together. The sensors of radio parking aids are usually installed in the bumper, this can be done front and rear. Both variants do not require complex cabling. Anyone who wants to play it safe combines sensors and a rear view camera.
Alternative rear view cameraWith vehicle rear view cameras, no sensors are required, but a video camera is attached to the rear in the area of the license plate. It is connected to a monitor via a cable that runs through the cockpit. This is in the driver’s field of vision, where the image from the camera is transmitted. When reverse gear is engaged, the camera turns on and displays the picture in the display. Some models are divided into green, yellow and red lines. Green means the obstacle is still relatively far away, red means you have to be careful. Some models have a zoom mode on the trailer hitch area or a parallel parking module. A rear view camera is not a distance warning device, but very helpful when it comes to parking in dark and narrow garages. A further advantage is that even low obstacles that cannot be detected by a parking sensor can be detected. An alternative is the radio reversing camera, which does not require any wiring, but is more susceptible to interference. Which parking aid is suitable for which application area? The decision which parking aid is suitable for which vehicle cannot be answered in general. In general, a rear view camera system is recommended for vehicles where visibility is more restricted, e.g. motorhomes and vans. It is much more difficult to estimate the distance for long vehicles. Parking sensors are very suitable for small cars, limousines and other vehicles of this type. As you enter the car park, the beep sounds and the faster the beep, the closer the obstacle comes. Parking aids are practical aids for parking, but the driver must not rely solely on these components. If modern technology fails or does not work properly, the car driver still bears the responsibility.

Car Parts & Accessories: Parking aid Video Guide
Retrofitting a parking aidThe parking pilot helps the driver to park, this can be done by an acoustic or optical signal, sometimes the parking aid combines both. The devices consist of a camera or parking sensors, the latter being the most common form. If you have not installed the parking assistant on your vehicle ex works, you can easily have the sensors retrofitted. If you are technically not completely unskilled, you can do the retrofitting yourself. The sensors are placed on the bumper, ideally at the rear or front and rear. The signal transmitter is located in the cockpit or stern and either emits a signal and/or has a display indicating the distance to any obstacle.
