I will second that, they bleep all the time.

I many a time switch them off.

The front beeps when I tailgate or get in a nice close position to overtake the car in front and the rears bleep when I cut in sharply from the aforementioned maneuver.

Don't you dare ever overtake me then. If you tailgate so closely and then pull in so quickly so that your parking sensors beep, you are a danger to other drivers. Cut me up like that and you will get a punch! Good grief...on line road rage! You need to stop watching F1.

I am also in danger of extracting the urinary so other forum members take it serious and make a comment!

Yes, I can't help noticing that irony does seem to creep by unnoticed on this forum sometimes...... :-))

I thought you were being facetious Daleman (sort of ting I'd write). But don't forget to use a smiley or you'll get a broken nose

I knew it must have been a wind-up as he had spelt manouevre the American way. It's just not done!

Nope. I am with you. Hate the damn thing.

The front sensors keep going off at the end of steep downhills and at zebra-crossings if pedestrians pass to close to the front. Can't be asked to shut them off every time I enter the city. Can't even understand while you need a sensor in front to park this car. Your eyes should do.

The rear sensor however due to the limited visibility at the rear of this car that's a must for me since I do not have the rear parking camera.

Actually, I probably wouldn't bother with the bluetooth kit as it looks as though I may have to change my phone to get full compatibility.

I probably would go for something aftermarket which allows phone connection plus Ipod control - I think Dension offer something?

I had the rear side nets installed in my boot and I think they are terrific! Stops small items rolling around in the boot and makes them easy to find when you need them.

I too have no front parking sensors,but for me back parking sensors were a must because driving in and out of my garage is a pain without would be a nightmare.
