I wasn't expecting much for the price, but actually this is a good reliable product! The Chinglish instructions are reasonably easy to understand, but you should take your time when measuring out the locations for the sensors. Also ensure you are going to be able to successfully route the Sensor cables through into the car. Use some masking tape at the drilling location to ensure the drill bit doesn't slip and scratch the bumper. I installed this on a sports roadster convertible, and I'm not a big fan of displays stuck to the dashboard plugged into lighter sockets. So I installed mine towards the rear between the two rollover seat hoops. To ensure that the left and right bar graph displays still work the correct way round, I simply installed the sensors in the reverse way round, i.e. D-C-B-A looking from the rear. I then cut off the lighter socket plug and hard wired this to the reversing light as well as the control box, and this doesn't cause any problems at all. The display lights up as soon as reverse is engaged. It works very accurately too. If the display says 1.2 metres it really is 1.2 metres to the nearest object to the left or right. The sensing starts at about 2 metres showing on the display only with no sound. Then as you close in audible warnings start at about 1.2 metres increasing in frequency until a solid tone is heard. Exactly like factory fitted ones do. In fact I'd go so far as to say that these work better than some factory fitted sensors, for example early Audi. The kit is available in a variety of colours for the sensors, which saves you from having to either accept black or spraying them yourself, which isn't something many other sellers offer. This is however not something for the faint hearted! There's no going back if you drill a hole in the wrong place! Do check behind the bumper for brackets etc before drilling. I used a photograph of a model of my car which had factory fitted sensors as a guide, and to some degree I ignored the suggested spacings to avoid anything that may lay behind. The instructions say to remove the bumper first, but this is not easy to do these days, but I was able to fit the sensors perfectly well without removing the bumper..Read full review

Unreliable rubbish. Don't waste your money. Display repeatedly jumped from correct distance (0.3m) to infinity (no detection) with the vehicle stationary and without the engine running. What use is that? Would give it zero stars if I could!

Had this fitted to a 56 Octavia. Already own an 06 Octavia with factory fitted sensors and wouldn't be without them. This was easy to fit, the box on the dash isn't very big so not overwhelming and all in all does a good job.
