Scubaregs Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not sure would bother with the camera, i have front and back sensors and they are more than adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Retro fit OR probably not cost effective. Aftermarket alternatives available. Camera is possible, depends on your will and ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Doesn't OEM rely on display in the binnacle, which I think massively complicates retrofit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 That’s what I meant, except OE came out as OR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’ve got to admit I find the factory fit sensors very slow to react, there seems to be a good 0.5+ seconds delay before the actual true position is registered. This has caught me out a couple of times when I have stopped a matter of millimetres from an object when trying to stop 18 inches away. Very slow reversing required with Porsche sensors, I’d go for a 3rd party solution anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaregs Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not noticed that at all on the 718. PDK so I go into reverse and simply take my foot of the brake to reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aftermarket ones are like this, a very reputable brand, but can’t return them from here I just reverse, stop, wait, reverse a bit more. Annoying.

Annoying. What brand are they? I am thinking of fitting some sensors but would like to avoid this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T24RES Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Fitted several sets of bleeper style from eBay, circa £15. Great value and work right first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
