Its the simplest solution, and you can at least see what it is you are going to run over.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have been searching the 996 forum to add aftermarket back up sensors on a 1999 996. I don't want a back up camera, just sensors and alarms. I'm am located in SW Florida. Can anybody recommend an aftermarket kit and a shop to install. Debolds in Bonita Springs has never installed a kit.
I have the factory back up sensors on my '01 and I absolutely hate the bumper... it's visually offensive. Personally I don' think it's needed on these cars, you can clearly see where your rear bumper is by simply turning your head around. Great visibility out the back. However, I have no idea of anyone making an aftermarket kit or anyone installing it. Good luck.
I live in gated community where many of us "including me" are getting old. I worry about backing into someone (or another car) who are not paying attention.
There's quite a bit out there. There's even aftermarket blindspot kits. Here are some aftermarket back up sensors I found.

There are all sorts of aftermarket ones available, just search for what offers the features you want. Several years back someone gave me one as a gift which could be installed in the license plate area. I never installed it(gave it away), but it did seem relatively low cost and simple to do.
