Parking sensor interference

HDAV · Jan 30th, 2020, 21:43

So had a lot of random activations of parking sensors recently mostly the front set.... this is when generally in low speed traffic and it’s been bugging me.....

Happened again the other night and I think i might have spotted the issue vehicle in front had parking sensors on the rear looked aftermarket.... now is it the cheap aftermarket sensors now I’m wondering if the aftermarket kits wired to the reversing light feed are pulsing all the time and my front sensors picking them up?

Anyone else had this issue?

I used to have my front sensors set off when stationary by other cars in front (not from being too close to them) so I assumed that the signal transmitted by their sensors (often BMWs) set off mine. Also, ambulance sirens and lorry air brakes can set them off.

Mine gone off to i put it down to maybe the sensors need cleaning.

My front offside one sometimes goes off randomly but it seems to be only when it's raining.
