We had a faulty beeper and had to effect an exchange. But Amazon is Amaz(on)ing and all is good. I have yet to test it out. But, Scott says they work as advertised.

I have this kit on every car I own. It is super cheap and effective in providing an audible reinforcement to what I see in the mirrors or on the reverse camera screen. My primary intent with installing these was to prevent an incident with my children in the backyard. The vans, and most cars now, have poor visibility at the center bumper level. At only $10, I don't even have to think about the consequences of what could happen if I assumed nothing was behind me!
I only installed two of the four sensors on mine. For some reason, the logic escapes me why this was a good idea, but what is done is done.... These also can be purchased in many different paint colors to blend in a bit better with your scheme. The wiring is tagged from the reverse light bulb along with the reverse camera that through my Pioneer AVH-X3700BHS deck in the dash.
Edit- Installing these with the hole saw provided is a joke. You will need a 7/8" or 15/16" step drill to make the job a piece of cake. Though most scoff at the Harbor Freight products, the step drills are a valuable purchase. I use mine daily and have for years without troubles...
