Could anyone point me in the right direction of recommendations as to where to get a set of reversing sensors fitted to my car in the Stoke on Trent area? Also, anyone use a reversing camera as opposed to sensors? What's people's thoughts.

Unable to help re fitting of sensors in Stoke, but our Kia Sportage is fitted with both very useful especially when reversing up to the caravan hitch.

Have had sensors on previous cars and my pathfinder has a camera, got to say the camera is loads better, actually being able to see is great for hitching up as well, just going to investigate fitting a camera to the back of the van which is on permanently and used as a rear view mirror whilst driving

Hi Grandad Kenny
Is it a wireless camera or wired, I was thinking of sensors but fancy a camera for reasons mentioned, but got me doubts regarding the quality of wireless ones.

Wireless camera still needs power so not exactly wireless.

It wont take much extra thought to keep the wiring tidy and its cheaper and more reliable with wires.

Plenty of kits on ebay, I got mine from Maplins when it was on a half price sale, but its the same kit sold on ebay for similar money.
