Coloured Sensors at No Extra Charge
No need to stick with black or pay extra for colour. We offer a range of 32 coloured sensors to match most customers needs. These are coloured and baked on in factory conditions for a lasting finish and will not crack as can happen with retro spraying. The sensors should also withstand things like automatic car washes. For help choosing which colour is right for you see our ColourMatch Chart.
Optional Nationwide Mobile Fitting Service
The Dolphin Parking Sensors are designed with DIY installation in mind but if you feel you do not have the time or skill to fit these kits we have partnered with a nationwide network of installers who can come to you at home or work. For further information see our Parking Sensor Fitting page.
How Parking Sensors Work
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams covering the area behind your vehicle. The beams get reflected by obstructions behind your vehicle, and re-enter the sensors. The reflected beam information is processed to calculate the distance between your car and the obstruction.
As with the other systems the Dolphin unit is activated when reverse gear is selected. 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, warning you that you should stop the car.
| Stage | Distance | Awareness | Alarm |
| 1 | 200 - 160cm | Safe Mode | No |
| 2 | 150 - 100cm | Safe Mode | Bi----Bi----Bi |
| 3 | 90 - 50cm | Alarm Mode | Bi--Bi--Bi |
| 4 | 40 - 30cm | Danger Mode | Bi-Bi-B |
| 5 | 30 - 0cm | Stop | Bi---------- |
