Its the simplest solution, and you can at least see what it is you are going to run over.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

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.

Why do you feel the need for back up sensors?

POST 3Original post

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.

POST 4Original post

My 99 also came with the backup sensor option. It comes with a separate speaker under the dash that�s required to beep during reverse.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

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.

Maybe there�s some type of aftermarket camera/sensor combo you could buy? Might be cheaper and/or better than the stock 996 sensor solution.

POST 7Original post

There's quite a bit out there. There's even aftermarket blindspot kits. Here are some aftermarket back up sensors I found. https://mycarneedsthis.com/the-best-...ystems-to-buy/

I could see you concern if you where driving a big SUV, but these cars are so small and maneuverable... I'll probably get it in a few more years

POST 9Original post

And why not a camera? Its the simplest solution, and you can at least see what it is you are going to run over.

POST 10Original post

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.

POST 11Original post

This is why I installed my rear mirror dash-cam. I enjoy it every day when I back-up
