So how are these operated? Are they on all the time, or only below a certain speed or what?

I quite fancy fitting a no drill version to the 4200 but not quite sure how to power them. I cold do it manually, obviously but wondered what happened on cars with factory fit.

Ooh ta

Don't really want to drill the bumper though. Do you have the inductive ones?

Thanks, Peter, that makes sense

I tried a no drill one one previous car, it wasn't great. It is hugely affected by installation, which must be perfect.

Yes. That's what I had in the Alfa GT. Worked very well, with the caveat that Felice wrapped it around the corners of the bumper a tiny bit too far so it picked up stuff to the side more than was ideal.

But keep that in mind, and it was very good

Collegue at work was reversing his car with rear sensors a couple of days ago....crunch.
His sensors where covered in snow and ice and he never looked behind him.
