Hitch Mounted Parking Sensor
I installed the hitch mounted sensor today, put the wireless thingy in the lighter receptacle, it beeped once when I started it up, but no beeps when backing up or any other time I had it in reverse.. I used the 7 pt trailer socket, do I need to hardwire that square speaker somewhere in the truck, or can I put a 2 prong plug on it and stick it in the 12v outlet and hit the outlet power button?? Is there an on/off switch on the hitch sensor itself??
thanks,
Dave

Ok try these instructions .
* Programming: (Fig. B)
To program your receiver, or an additional or replacement receiver to the sensing unit, the vehicle must be in reverse gear and the ignition switch turned on with the parking brake set. Using a toothpick, or similar non-metal "probe", insert it into programming port and press and hold for at least 5 seconds, then release. Upon releasing the reprogramming button, you will hear one long confirmation chirp. After reprogramming, test the system by slowly backing toward a large object that will be detected in each zone. If you still experience problems, call: (800) 225-6074.

I am so glad that someone else bought the step parking sensors cuz I wanted them but don't like the look of the ones in the bumper, now this just looks like a step, I think I would tap into the wires under the truck though so it does not look so easy to steal. I like the idea it doubles as a step for most people, but I have noticed that people driving pickups are most often over the limit oh well too bad for them LOL. I think I will get one then. Good thread.
