What's up! (not sure if i have posted in the right section, still new to the forum!)

Since i have owned my 8, every time im reversing the sensors constantly bleep.

It has has a Aftermarket Rear bumper fitted.

Any ideas?

I got the same issue and need to get them fixed.
Being told i will need to replace the whole kit.
Cant quite believe that.
If i ever find the low life who "hit and ran me".

 

It is supposed to be like that, only when your reversing. If somebody is behind you when your reversing, they could hear the beeping sound and they should move away, its a safety device. Anyway, if your going forward and its beeping, then its a problem.

 

Really? that's strange lol. So they don't do anything apart from that? even with the sensors in the bumper

 

The sensors are probably disconnected, when the bumper was fitted.

The usual way they work is the are powered from the reversing lights (so only on in reverse) and the beep faster and faster as you near an obstruction.

A steady beep is not normal, easy to see the back of the sensors underneath, check for disconnected wires etc.

 

Wait, wut? Parking sensors? Is this a EUDM thing?

 

cheer, I'll have alook when it's not dark... or raining.


Pretty much every 8 i see always has parking sensors

 

Parking Sensors?

 

lolz

 

I don't have one on mine...

Anyway, i don't think the rx8 is equipped with parking sensors. You need to buy them for yourself, as a safety device.

 

Maybe a UK thing, though the aftermarket bumper comment makes it doubly strange....

 

No RX-8 has FACTORY (MMC Japan) fitted Sensors...they are an afterthought either at Distribution Level or done by Dealer or RX-8 Owner.
