Parking Sensors

Hey guys. I negotiated with my parking garage so that I can park my car myself and always at the same spot so that I can avoid past surprises (scratches, dings..). I need to park it within a few inchees from the back wall but the spot is very narrow and extremely dark and I don't see a thing when I back up. I do not have factory rear sensors. Is there an after market rear sensor or rear view camera compatible with the PCM2?

Just put a bumper on the floor - see Griot's catalog or buy one at Lowes.

Or some kind of visual aid, a mark on the wall or ground.

Not yet. Got hit from behind and car has been with dealer (x3 now) for replacement. Then it's a matter of making time...(Something I don't have allot of).
My ownly concerns is "cheesey" beep sound from speaker. If I move forward may investigate modifying.

TBD...

Goldduster is infamous around these parts
If you have a "cheesy" beep, its better than having beep you can't hear. I have the factory parking assist and can not hear it, one out of three of us could hear it. When we tried to make it louder, there is no provision for this either on the PCM or the computer at the dealer. So much for parking assist.
