backup sensor installation in GVRD

my family bought a wagon and they want a backup sensor since the car is a lot longer than the compact car that we had before.

Where in vancouver/richmond do you guys recommend to get backup sensors installed?

i found out electromagnetic sensor, which don't require drilling and is taped to the back of the bumper, but are they just as effective as the more common ones?

Any of the RS car audio sponsors can do it and can get the sensors for you too.

I just had a back up system installed last week.

Sensor (drill in type) - $60
Paint Match - $100 (I got it done for less, cuz I know the autobody guy, but he said it would be around $100 for other folk)
Install - $80

Total cost = $240

Most sponsors could not match that (on RS or bcmazda3).
Got it done by a guy named John. PM me for phone#.

The install was very clean, can't tell where the wire is unless you really look. The guy says he's been doing it for 10+ years (i exercised professional skepticism ) and does install for dealerships. Overall he seems to know wtf he's doing. The only issue I had was, my A-pillar cover was lose, going this weekend to get it fixed. Unit comes with 1yr warranty.

Bump.

I may need this done professionally. Similar install as on my TSX currently.



I also have a small screen, really neatly installed showing proximity from each sensor, plus it beeps. Only operational on reverse. A nice to have would be something similar.

Any ideas?
