    BACK ALARM measuring feet instead of meters

    I need one for my wifes car, but it seems they all measure in meters and not feet. Does any one know where to get them in FEET.

    Try a local alarm shop. That's where I got mine.

    A meter is just a little over 3 feet. Does that help?

    I gotta figure that if everything was displayed in meters, then she wouldn't ever back into anything!

    But that would also depend on her ability to do math and back up at the same time..

    I got a set like this for the Magnum: http://cgi.ebay.com/Car-Parking-Reve...QQcmdZViewItem

    Keep several things in mind about this alternative:

    1. They come in Metric as well as English measurements so be sure to specify/check before you buy.
    2. They are surface mount. On the Magnum the three sensors fit nicely under the taillights and over the license plate. This means you do not have to drill visible holes, just one thru the steel panel behind and above the license plate.
    3. They actually "speak" the warnings as well as "beep"... albeit with a slight Asian accent!

    If I think of it, you show interest and my wife ever gets home I will attach a photo or two.
