Parking sensors

[markxt]

Hello everyone. I'm sorting out our recently purchased Bongo and will soon be looking at head units (possibly Sony/Pioneer Apple CarPlay). I need reversing sensors that can be used with the unit (rather than need a separate display). Good visual guidance is essential (my partner is deaf). Most sensor kits use a separate display. Ideally I want to avoid cables but appreciate that a wired-in system may be preferable to wireless/bluetooth. Any info/opinion appreciated.

Wired systems are much more reliable, there are so many devices these days using the shared 2.4GHz band that its not uncommon to suffer interference, also it has the advantage that wired systems can also be used as a rear view camera when driving, as opposed to merely when reverse gear is selected and the reversing light is powered.

Thanks for the advice - I'm gradually narrowing the search down, poss looking at a Pioneer unit as they make reasonably priced compatible cameras. The wiring aspect doesn't seem too complex. There is a lack of videos showing various cameras/parking systems in use although they seem to use the same 'guidelines' principal. It would be useful to hear from anyone who has had experience of any of these systems.

Please update when you decide as I'm interested in getting a parking sensor and reverse camera in mine and don't even know where to start.

I've used a variety of cameras of the years here are some of the installations http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/cameras/
