Garage parking sensors

I have small garage and we just bought a new car. Garage is 206 inches total and the car is 197 inches.
Does anyone have one of these? Or something similar? And if so, do they work?
Or should I just do the old tennis ball from a rope?

Tennis ball on a string (or something similar) is pretty much guaranteed whether you have power or not, and is not dependent on how well the sensor works or if the sensor stops working. What ever you use will still be dependent on you stopping the vehicle.

I have just a laser thing that projects two beams when it senses motion. I aligned the two dots to bracket a body line on my truck when it’s parked. I have a little more free space than 9” though so it’s not critical.

I just drew a pencil mark on the side wall instead of the ol tennis ball. Either works well enough to stop within 9 inches of it.

I hung a Christmas package bow instead of tennis ball. Doesn't hurt to run into it face first at full gallop.

I have that exact sensor/light and it works fine. You can calibrate it to allow you to park closer/further before the red light comes on.

Back in?
My house has a porte cochere and two 2-car garages face each other.
It is much easier to back into the space for me plus I can see when I get close to the back wall with the camera.

what new car doesn't come with 360 degree cameras and proximity sensors these days?
We have a 2018 and its impossible to hit the back of the garage or anything else.
