Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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've recently acquired a new parking spot for my 996 Turbo, and it's a very tight fit (walls on either side) that I need to reverse into. Being paranoid I'd like to get some parking sensors, since they didn't come factory optioned. I've heard it's worth getting a camera these days is worthwhile as well, so would also like to get that. Ideally want something that's decent, and that doesn't need modification to the car. Any ideas? Looking forward to getting back on the road after a lengthy suspension in a few weeks!

POST 2Original post

G'day Aaron, I ended up going the reverse camera option and purchased a camera that is incorprorated with the licence plate lights. I ended up buying one for a Skoda on eBay as it was the same dimensions. The only modification to the camera/light was the mounting holes. I just used araldyte to fill in the existing holes before drilling the new. To view what is behind, I update my stereo head unit to an after market touch screen. Good luck

POST 3Original post

Cheap, sensor solution - no holes in bumper required. I've bought one and will be hooking it up Saturday hopefully. See recent discussion Cheers,
