Im talking about the parking pole :oops:

Mine has never worked.

Are they disabled to pass the sva test?
Any idea where to start to get it working?

Many Thanks

Depends on the type of pole - they don't all go up and down.

Tell yer the truth, mines not quite erected yet!. oops there i go again.
But yes it does work and all that i say it is.

But have sat in the drivers seat with one, and yeah, they are alright.

I just see it as a bit of bongo bling.

Can you buy them in the Uk or do they come from Japan only...

I am useless at Parking and honestly if they work it could save my front end

Keep yer eye on ebay, and it might pop up. You never know your luck.

It will look good with your Bars. Parking sensors are also an idea.
