Reversing sensors

Post by Gofaster_940 »

What are the best reverse sensors to fit and what way should they be wired to a 2016 Caddy reverse light , I was going to fit a camera but cant get one to suit.
I was going to fit a Cobra system are there any other decent quality options ??

When you say cobra system do you mean alarm if so Clifford do a good remote start system.

That bit I don’t know. But speak with you local vw parts guys mine is really helpful and knowledgeable not all are. If that fails contact your local TPS they will defo help you. Just give them you van reg number they I’m sure can sort out what you need. VW are crazy some parts are really cheap and some things are crazy, you don’t understand how they got to that price. Hey it’s worth a call.


Cobra one look good thou.

From memory, when retrofitting of the factory rear sensors and control module, if paying full price it works out at £550 in parts alone.
