Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Parking Attendant is designed to take the guesswork out of parking your car in tight garage spaces. It features ultrasonic range-finding technology to accurately locate your car within your desired parking constraints. The Parking Attendant is conveniently equipped with a range selector, making it easy for the user to pick different parking distances from the garage wall. Simply mount the base unit on the wall in front of the car at bumper level. Then mount the signal light in a position easily viewed from the driver's seat. As the driver approaches the Parking Attendant, he or she will see a green light, indicating it is safe to proceed. As the car nears the sensor, a yellow light will illuminate as a warning to slow down. Finally, when the car is at the desired parking distance from the sensor, a red light will illuminate, signaling the driver to stop the car. It makes parking as easy as 1, 2, 3. The Parking Attendant eliminates the dents and dings from garage fender benders and allows you to safely close the garage door every time. It is easy to install and comes complete with all mounting hardware, instructions, and warranty.

This product can be installed with either using the Velcro strips provided or you can attach it with screws. The actual light (green, yellow, and stop light) had to be installed with a screw as the Velcro did not hold it too well as the truck kept vibrating it off the wall....But once I put in 1-screw to hold, its absolutely AMAZING....and works every time I pull into the garage... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND....Especially if you have an SUV or Truck as I do now.
This sensor does the trick! The tape included with it wasn't strong enough to keep the light mounted on the wall, but a command strip works fine. (You could also mount it to the wall using screws, but I hate to put holes in walls...even in the garage.) I tend to back into the garage...it always senses my car when I back in but on the rare occasion I pull in forward, it sometimes doesn't sense the car. Rather, it senses it sporadically...the light will kind of flash on and off, instead of staying on steadily as it does when I back in. Maybe this is because of different bumper heights in front and back? Just something to be aware of. If I pulled in forward, I'd have probably mounted the sensor in a slightly different position to ensure it always picked it up.
Otherwise the unit functions perfectly - plus or minus a few inches.
Update..........
Well after one week the unit died. Solid red light with car in and out of the garage. There isn't any reset button so I removed the batteries for an hour - same problem.
Update.......
The vendor quickly replaced the failed unit and seems to be working properly. An extra star for quick professional customer service.
I was actually surprised these worked so well. The "stop light" pulls out and can be set to have some slack in it so is very easy to place. The green-yellow-red light sequence is actually very accurate. Cars are always parked right where they need to be.
Well worth the money.
First off, it can only be set for distances of 1, 2, or 3 feet. I needed 5 feet. My fault for not reading the description more carefully. Second, it can't deal with something next to it. My large trash container needs to be right next to it - it thinks it's an object, so just turns red all the time. I need it to look for my car. Even so, I though I would try it. I set it to 3 feet - It's light doesn't come on in any color even when my car is 4 feet away from it. Then the light comes on when I'm walking by it to go through the door that is next to it.
So, basically useless in many scenarios. I should have just done the tennis ball on a string thing to start with.
Packaging is the hard plastic hermetically sealed stuff so impossible to get into and impossible to repackage to send back.

I moved container out of way and it still wouldn't work. Light never turned green or yellow and rarely turned red. Sticky also failed. I sent back without packaging - I still had instructions etc. They gave me a full refund so kudos for doing that. Too bad it didn't work.
Later I went to the garage and the light was blinking yellow and then quit. Then it blinked red a couple of times and then yellow again. After a couple of minutes it quit.
Opened the garage door and the light started blinking but it quit.
I drove into the garage, no lights. After I stopped and shut off the car the lights started to blink. They quit after a short time.
Next day drove into the garage verrrrrry sloooooooow and the green light came on followed by the yellow light as I moved about a foot closer and then about six inches closer the red light came on.
Does it work? I guess so. Do I trust it? No way. Would I recommend it? Only if you have nothing else to do with your money and want a conversation piece in your garage.
