Parking Has Never Been So Easy

The STKR Garage Parking Sensor mounts easily and quickly to the wall, workbench, shelf, or any surface in front of your vehicle. There is no longer a need to dangle from the ceiling a stringed tennis ball or mount potentially harmful laser devices. It also eliminates the need to clutter the garage floor with parking blocks or other trip hazards.

Adjustability

The STKR Parking Sensor utilizes ultra-sonic pulses to determine the exact distance between the vehicle and the sensor. Close the garage door with confidence, knowing the back-end of the vehicle is safely inside the parameters of the garage. Leave just enough space in front of a vehicle to access a fridge or work bench.

Easy to Mount, Easy to Set

To calibrate the unit, first simply mount it with the supplied Velcro and double-sided tape. Then, park the vehicle in the desired stop zone and press the RED 'set distance' button. The STKR sensor allows the user to select the exact location they would like to park their vehicle, anywhere from 6 in to 6 ft.

Walkway Light

When exiting a vehicle there is often a dark spot between the vehicle and the wall where the driver or passenger has to pass through. The STKR Parking Sensor illuminates that spot, creating a safe and well lit walkway. The light will illuminate in conjunction with the red light on the sensor, and is on a timer to turn off after 45 seconds.

Product Description

The STKR Parking Sensor is designed to take the guess work out of parking your car in tight garage spaces. It features adjustable, ultrasonic range-finding technology. Simply mount the sensor unit in front of your vehicle at bumper level, then mount the signal light in a position easily viewed from the driver's seat. Lastly, park your vehicle exactly where you want it and press the set button. That's it! Next time the driver approaches the Parking Sensor, they will see a green light indicating that it is safe to proceed, then a yellow light warning to slow down, and finally a red light when the chosen stopping point is reached. The STKR Parking Sensor eliminates the dents and dings from garage "fender benders" and allows you to safely close the garage door every time. Easy to install with the included double sided tape and Velcro, and adjustable between 6 inches and 6 feet. New upgraded version is powered by standard USB cord or 4 AA batteries (not included).

Works Well, But With a Very Significant Flaw
3 Stars
Works Well, But With a Very Significant Flaw
It does what it claims to do. And that's great. The LED's are bright and visible. And the fact that you can connect a USB power source so you don't have to swap out batteries every couple of months is awesome.One of the selling points is the "walkway light", claiming to create a "well lit" walkway. This light gives almost no useful illumination. I mean, granted, you're not buying this thing for the light, but it's rather comically silly to claim this as "well lit". I'm not exaggerating when I say I think a candle would provide more light.But the real problem with this is the fixed cable length. The sensor is attached to the main unit by a short cable. Great if you've got a flat wall at the back of your garage. Not so great if you need to maneuver the sensor around existing obstacles. My garage has a workbench at the back. I'd like to mount the base unit on the wall, then run the sensor down along the side of the workbench and mount it on the front of the bench facing my car. Not easy when the cable can be measured in inches. So I'm stuck mounting the base unit on the side of the workbench in an inconvenient location (but where it can still be seen from my driver's seat) using an awkward combination of 3M Command strips, and invariably it falls off every couple of weeks.And it could all have been avoided by either using a modular cable of some sort (I would think they could figure out a way to connect the sensor to the base unit using a USB cable) or putting another few feet of cable in place.All in all, it works...sort of. If you've just got a flat wall at the back of your garage, this should work well enough. If you've got any sort of obstruction though, be prepared to do some creative thinking for how to make it fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great parking aid sensor with USB power
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2020
I read some of the reviews and the biggest complain was the battery longevity which typically dies after a month.
I preorder a 6V AC/DC adapter so that I can solder the ends to the battery compartment. To my biggest surprise, the unit has a micro USB input which essentially eliminates the need for batteries. Why was this not advertised on the product page? This seems to be the biggest complaint and the manufacturer/vendor needs to make this known.
I was very happy and my only other issue was the length of the sensor to the unit. I have a chest freezer that it needs to be mounted so I had to cut the wire and add the extra length I needed. Beware of the wire size as it is extremely small and fragile (26 AWG perhaps or smaller). I managed to get it all done and it works like a charm.
The micro USB power acts as a battery eliminator and hope their product page gets updated.
Updated January 10, 2021 - The unit still works fine with no issues. It's cold now in the garage and the yellow light flickers every 10 to 20 seconds or so. However, the unit still functions as intended.
