Does anyone know what kind of parking assist
the Camaro is getting and how it works?! I think this is a great option
to prevent little bumps and sratches from high curbs ect!!

its the little bumps on the back that make the stereo beep if you back too close to something

*radz28* · 10-02-2008, 05:06 PM

Are there any pics' of these sensors? I don't recall ever noticing any. I hope they integrate them into the lower black diffuser in the facia so they don't stand out.

FUTURE TOP DOG OWNER · 10-02-2008, 05:07 PM

just beeps ? it doesn't give a distance or location where the object is?

headpunter · 10-02-2008, 05:12 PM

it lets you know HEY THERES SOMETHING BACK THERE.

lalometalik · 10-02-2008, 05:18 PM

not a bad idea

whats the closest it lets you get to an object before it beeps??? in other words, whats the clearance on the rear, before it beeps...

*radz28* · 10-02-2008, 05:22 PM

If it's like most of the rest of the systems out there, the pitch will probably change as you get closer to the object. I know some cars have LEDs that go from green to red as you get close.

my brother in laws audi a6 has this and you kno i have never noticed the sensors on it so its definetly possible to hide them hopefully they are put on the rear diffuser itll blend :-D its a good lil feature to have

FUTURE TOP DOG OWNER · 10-02-2008, 05:27 PM

Are there sensors on the front??

DntWrryBeHappy21 · 10-02-2008, 05:58 PM

not that i know of usually always in the rear because theres less visibilty its really called "REAR" parking assist

SilverTurtle · 10-02-2008, 06:00 PM

I seem to remember them saying that this wasn't going to be available at launch... dont hold me to that, but I believe the parking assist and HUD are both slotted for the 2011 model year.

Probably not, I think I read somewhere that they won't be available for a little while.

ucla1ove3 · 10-02-2008, 06:34 PM
