Hi there

I did not get my roc fitted with parking sensors.

I am now considering it as visibility is poor, just wondering, how people have found them.

Useful?

Annoying?

Do you have the ability to turn them off?

Thanks

The 'roc is not a long car, so parking it is pretty easy. However the sensors can do nothing but help you. I've got an unwritten rule as to where I park my car in my work car park. I like to tuck it into the corner as tight as I can out the way. Everyone knows thats where I park, so everyone leaves me the space to park there. The sensors are always handy when parking up as I know I've got about a foot or two left when the tone becomes constant.

They are useful, and I'm glad I specced them, but I wouldnt miss them if I didnt have them as I'm a pretty good parker-upper.

Just remember a retrofit does not link to the on-screen driver display (which I think makes factory fit sensors a much better buy).

I wouldn't be without them. Can't imagine why anyone would want to turn them off.

call motormods for non factory stuff, its simple and it works & they colour code it

 

[martinjrose]

so if i get vw to fit them, all the functions that come with factory fit will not be included, what kind of sham is this

I got factory sensors and have the onscreen display, but can't really say i look at the screen when i'm going backwards! Not a massive miss if you don't have the screen display, although it's always nice to have as many features as possible

Have currently ordered mine without the factory parking sensors but thinking of changing my mind: What exactly does the 'on screen display' actually show?

(PS Shame you cant have a camera hidden behind the VW badge like on the mk6 Golf)

Zarger,

Thanks for the link mate but typically I found it myself AFTER I did my post last night! Have now decided to go with them after seeing Rehmondo's excellent picture + description.
