How it works
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams covering the area in-front of the vehicle. The beams are reflected by obstructions ahead, and re-enter the sensors. The reflected beam information is processed to calculate the distance of the obstruction.
With the Dolphin Front Parking Sensors you need to power them via a small toggle switch on the dashboard which is included with the kit. Then you manually turn the sensors on, as and when you need to use them (or see CANBUS option below). When the vehicle is less than 1.5 metres from the obstruction the audible alert will emit intermittent bleeps. As the vehicle gets closer to the obstruction the frequency of the bleeps increases. At 30 centimetres from the obstruction the bleeps become a continuous solid tone.
if you wear a hearing aid we would recommend that you consider the DPS450F kit which also has a display, as opposed to this stand alone audio in case the the audible pitch of the alert is incompatible with your hearing aid.
CANBUS Interface
Optionally if you have a modern CANBUS wired car you may use a CANBUS interface that will take a speed reading for the cars engine management system and automatically bring the sensors on whenever your speed is below approximately 6mph. This would give you a very professional finish, cost of the CANBUS interface is £49.99 and comes with instructions. Please check for your Vehicle Compatibility.
Swap Socket Feature All of our kits now come with the new watertight swap socket feature based 6 inches from the sensor heads, it makes installation quicker and easier. Also should you ever have a problems with faulty sensors or accident damage in the future it facilitates easy replacement without having to remove the bumper again and rewire from scratch. |

First-Class Customer Service - David Hoyles - 09 August 2018
I cannot praise this company highly enough for its customer service. In this age of 'grab everything that you can' the company went way beyond what is expected in order to solve an annoying problem I had. Highly recommended retailer.
