Aftermarket Reverse Sensor?

Does anyone make an aftermarket reverse sensor, and where could you get it. It don't seem like it would be too hard to make one yourself. If you could figure out a good mounting spot. And you could also adjust sensitivity.

Someone mentioned recently after some prices were batted around that a video monitor/camera would be cheaper than after market sensors, and perhaps perform better.

This guy put an aftermarket setup on his F250. Lots of good stuff on his website.

there are many on ebay as well. Be aware of those though, I got ripped off over $100.00 for a set not long ago. They were posted as, "for all trucks, Vans and SUVs". However, the leads from the sensors were only 4' long. Not long enough for an 8' box and to the cab. Seller refused to return, or replace.

Check JC Whitney. They had a nice rearview camera with the monitor built into the rearview mirror. You could also get it to tell you distance, temp, and compass.

www.audiod.com has a reverse sensor kit that looks fairly good, I believe the 2 sensor system is 35 with shipping, and 4 sensor should be around 55. Not a bad price, might be worth checking out.
