Will this work as front bumper sensors or will it only trigger when going in reverse?

Yes, they will work on the front bumper, but you will have to be somewhat creative in selecting where you connect the controller to the 12 V power. When used on the rear bumper, the controller normally gets power from a connection to the back-up light circuit so the system is only active when going in reverse. When used on the front bumper, you would have to select another source for 12 V power.... perhaps with a switch you would turn on whenever you are concerned about how close you are to something. By the way, the system isn't connected to the gearbox in any way.

Yes. The sensors connect back to the control box you place in the driver area. Once there's power to the control box it's all good. It is a bit of work to get the sensors positioned but works well in the end.

Yes they will work as front sensors but only if wired through a dedicated switch directly to a 12 volt source.

In the instructions it states "the range of the sensing unit is 0.5 to 16 feet". They recommend that you never leave less than one foot between your bumper and the wall. Personally, I prefer to park a few feet away from the wall, so never tried it at a shorter distance. It should work though.

Yes, you can actually install these sensors anywhere. The only reason people use this for back up sensors is because it's convenient to install on the bumper and to activate it you just tie it to the reverse light. I have installed these on cars for side sensors and activated them with blinkers... Very easy to install. I have a set installed on my car front and back because I am lucky enough to have a camera that activates on the front of my car that turns on automatically when I'm moving under 7 MPH and when in reverse.!

Front bumpers only have corner sensors on my tundra. No interference with them

I have it installed. I don't know if it has sensor particularly for a hood, but if you make vibrations anywhere near the engine, alarm does go off. Hope this helps.

When you are installing you will run one lead to ground and the other you will splice into the hot lead that goes into the backup lights, that way the alert will only sound when you put your vehicle into reverse. When you install the wiring it is best to use red wire going from the positive pole on alarm and black

Sensors are wired to your reverse lights. Head unit has a lighter plug adapter.

My husband is the one who is a mechanic/auto body man and he said he doesn't see why it wouldn't. It is just a magnet that activates the sensor and he feels it should work.

Yes, it should work. The backup sensors are located on the rear bumper above the hitch level and this step hitch should not cause interference.

yes if you switch to av2 it shows the rear view camera, and it will auto turn on when you go in reverse if its off

Hello, Yes, our sensors work just fine, as long as you order for the correct year, make, model, and engine size. Thank you, Chantal

No Simply connect it to the back up light wiring only!Then the camera will ony activate when you place your car in reverse whcih is what you wanted in the first place!!!

The backup camera becomes active when the car is placed in reverse.The toggle switch alerts the camera and screen to which you see items behind you.Actually a very simple connection.

There is a sensitivity sitting...when we 1st installed ours it would flip the light on when a car would turn the corner in front of our house because the headlights would shine in. The window is a privacy window..distorted not like a clear window. If your window is clear and the motion sensor/switch is pointed at the window I would think it would work but if it's dark out which is probably why you want it then it may not "see" the movement to flip on. I use it in my front entry (with privacy glass beside the door)and it doesn't come on until I open the door.

I had used this for my 2001 ULEV Accord and it had worked perfectly. Please note that this is the front sensor, the one under the bonnet

The sensors are designed to be installed in the rear bumper. It even comes with a drill bit to make the holes. It is connected to the rear backup lights for power.

If installed properly the camera will activate the instant the vehicle is placed in reverse.
