so ammmmmmmm is jus me or is anyone else hesitant to drill dey shiny back bumper to install reverse sensors?? it have anyting else that doesn't require drilling of de bumper?

[lighthammer]

If u want professional installation, give Kazim Ali a call.

He's an installer and accessories dealer who's authorized by Neal and Massy, but he does outside work too.

He installed mine when I bought the Nav last november. Its the system with a distance indicator, tells u how much distance in feet & cm left, works beautifully.

Cost me $1400.

Note,

The bit it come with eh going thru the bumber so if you doing it yuhself, go to the hardware and get a good bit, same size of course.

It's not difficult, I did it on two other vehicles.

[venum]

[Smeed]

so i went up to fernandes compound on friday and found Kazim's shop. Installed the reverser sensor with the distance display.....worked well in the shop.....by the time i got home, once reverse gear was engaged, the sensor just beeped....and kept beeping - even with nothing behind the van.

the distance indicator just remained blank, but the right side sensor indicator kept flashing. so i called them up and they told me to come back up

first of all they said it was due to the silicone they used to secure the sensor in place.....they scraped off the silicone and it seemed to work ok. i drove off and stopped a little way up the road...same problem.

i returned again...same thing. after they sraped all the silicone off....i left...same problem. on the third attempt, they pulled out the control box and changed it.....it started working again and worked fine until this afternoon....same crap happening again.

soooooooooooo once dis crap continues then mr Kazim WILL be getting a call from me bright and early on monday.....i assume i'll have to go up to the shop yest another time......

will keep u guys informed!!

[lighthammer]

that happens to me sometimes when it rains and the sensors get soaked - but usually when it dries the problem goes away and they work as normal.

Sorry to hear that happened man, hope it gets sorted out.
Perhaps something is interfering with the sensors and registering as an "obstacle" to them, hence they beeping incessantly.

See if it happens when the van gets wet in the rain, and if it happens when it's dry.

[Around]

i'll get dey soon

[jhonnieblue]

this is a common prob, what happens is the sensor is discharging in the metal bumper, chrome bumper, i assume u have one
pick ups need a special line of reverse senors a little more expensive than that of the normal ones, some installers usually run out of these and use normal reverse senors
my advice ask them to swap out the bran of sensors and change it out completely
they did the installation for my nav, never had any problems with it at all from day 1

[vharripersad]

I had this reverse sensor problem when I did an install in the frontier, the bumper was chrome though. The sensors got squeezed and short when the bumper expanded with heat. Fix was to drill the holes wider and secure the rim of the holes with silicon because silicon can expand and contract. the sensors also were installed after applying the silicon on a bigger hole since the sensor has a big lip around its end

[Smeed]

yup the guys did this as well.....slightly bigger holes and secured them with silicone.

they worked well for the past couple days.....hopefully they'll continue without problems.

[lighthammer]

Don't worry dude, the trouble will be worth it.

I use the sensors and distance indicator all the time to reverse-park in my workplace.
Saved my arse a couple times as well when parking in the mall, that big @ss of the Navara is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

Also useful with picking up passing pedestrians whenever I'm trying to reverse out of a parking spot by the sidewalk. Would've crushed ppl on a couple occasions were it not for the sensor picking them up as they walked into the blind-spot behind the truck.

[Swisha]

glad i found this thread. doing lots of searches and taking in all the info.

so Kazim Ali is still the recommended guy to get a reverse camera system installed by? any other recommendations?

also i'll be installing the Roll N Lock and i prefer the look of the fibre glass roll bars. any suggestions on where i would be able to get them?

[Havoc]

u cant put anything on those fibre glass roll bars without the risk of damaging it eg. ladders, pipes, wood, steel, etc. so it serves no purpose other than to enhance the look of the truck

one day u'll wanna carry somting long and bulky in the tray and wish u had fabricated a steel pipe roll bar that cud actually serve a purpose wen u need it...

[civic minded]

Plus in an actual roll over , the roll bar serves a purpose to protect the passenger compartment from collapsing. Saw that first hand !
