Garage parking sensors

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 have a similar situation where the garage isn't much larger than the car. Once I was creeping into the garage and felt resistance, car didn't want to go any further. I didn't think I was touching the wall but figured I must be wrong. Turned out there was a thick door mat I hadn't seen on the floor and the front tire was against it. The car was less than 2 inches from the wall, nearly perfect so I left the floor mat there and use it as a wheel bumper.

Huh. Never considered wheel bumpers. Considering my wife will be parking this most of the time, wheel bumpers seem like the more effective thing here.

I use concrete parking blocks. About 250+ pounds so they don't move.

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?

Kia Telluride S

It has proximity sensors, but they go off after like a foot and we need to get within 6 inches to the wall

I'm too cheap to buy the SX
