I'm not sure about the model #..but it looks about right...If it has the blank space on the front forthe reflective sticker, it is the new model like I have...If it has the words SONAR STEP molded in to the unit on the front instead,it is the old model..

I was backingout of a parking space at the local BestBuy when the backup sensors chirped. A little kid got loose from his mom anddarted behind the truck. Scared the sh%% out of me. Probably did the same to the mom.

After what happened to me last night, I think I'll be buying one of these. Does it cover the entire width of the car, or just directly behind it?

My sensors begin chirping at approx 6'. My two outside sensors are aimed to pick up approximately 2 feet beyond the sides of the vehicle. They chirp when I'm backing out of the garage. I like the portability that Dennis has, but I also like the wide coverage that the permanent install gives.
BTW- They pick up both static and moving objects.A squirrel set mine off once. Couldn't back up fast enough to hit him! [&:][&:][&:]

They only send out the newer version now and the guys at Echomaster told me this one is the best out there now and they had some problems with the earlier versions like I had..if your are talking about this oneon Ebay...it is a great deal!! and that is the newest version...I paid a year ago, $250.00 for the older, moreunreliable version.
My new one:
No..you have to have it in reverse for it to be active..like all brands do..it detects moving and stationary objects perfectly and well in advance of actual contact
