Default Backup Sensor Install (Live broadcast)

I'll do a live video broadcast of the installation of a rear bumper sensor strip that will be an aid to the already available backup parking camera. I will remove the plastic bumper cover, attach the sensor strip and then connect to the sensor module. The module will be located inside the chassis, well protected from the elements, yet easily accessible. This unit connects to the trailer wiring harness, from which the rear signal is accessed.

You can view it here Today @ 4PM ET / 1PM PT

I will post some pictures here after the install.

Technical problems with the broadcast still persisted, but a good copy of the LIVE event is now available.



YouTube Live Broadcast

I started somewhat late, but was able to finish part of the installation of a rear bumper parking sensor.

I'll continue this Sunday, February 28th, 2016 @ 3 PM ET
and you can view the remainder of the installation at CargoVanConversion.com/live

I'll do a second live video broadcast of the installation of a rear bumper sensor strip that will be an aid to the already available backup parking camera. Today I will install the speaker and connect the sensor module to the trailer wiring harness, from which the rear signal is accessed.

You can view it here Today @ 3PM ET / 12PM PT

I will post some pictures here after the install.

Default Backup Parking Sensor

It took me a little while to finish the documentation of the Backup Parking Sensor installation, but I just posted it all on the website.
It contains several compact videos, a detailed step-by-step description, numerous detailed photos and a downloadable guide. Enjoy!
