Re: SonarStep Backup Sensor
I believe most of the back-up camera systems come with bare wires for the camera section? Does anyone make a plug to accept those wires so you can just plug it into your trailer receptor?????

Its fit-for-purpose if you're just worried about your garage or wall... I'd say go for it... simple enough solution, or go for one of the cameras the other guys are suggesting!

You could buy the plug and wire it up yourself. Then like having sex....Just plug it in.

Re: SonarStep Backup Sensor
For electronics, I prefer plug and play.

Re: SonarStep Backup Sensor
I have had the sonar step for over a year now without a problem. It has been plugged in the entire time without any problems.
I prefer it over a camera hitch.
Best thing is that you can totally take it off or put it on in about 4 minutes. That's great when I want to free up the hitch to tow something.
Highly reccomended.

Hitchcam (w/lock) takes about same amount of time to remove, handy for those that tow.
My wife's 05 Jag has the optional backup sensors and they work very well.

It would be nice if they showed a list price ...so you could get an idea of how much it's worth.... I'm guessing over $200.00
