Genuine Back-up sensors or from Car Stores? - is the price difference worth it?

[ram_dlsu]

Guys,

Need you opinions on this. I've recently ordered the new Honda Jazz 2011. I'm not so good at parking, and I really found the back-up sensors of our Toyota Altis very helpful. I'm thinking of putting back-up sensors on my Jazz. Here's the prob. The Genuine Honda Back-up Sensors costs 4,800 while if I get it from Car shops, I can get them for 2,000 only. Honda says if I get anything electronic attached thats not Honda, it would void the warranty on the electrical. So.... is it worth it guys??? I was also planning on putting in HID headlamps but this VOID Warranty is threatening me lol. So anyhows , What you guys think? Is the price diff worth it? Does voiding the electrical warranty impose a great risk? Thanks for the info guys!

im not sure if meron talaga genuine back up sensors na OEM so to speak unless high end yung auto like say accord/camry na factory installed talaga ang back up sensors... yun i can say is really genuine.

pero if your jazz doesnt have back up sensors as stock, and casa will install it as an added accessory, galing din yan sa carstore/accessory shop.

yung mga car accessories dept sa mga casa eh mga accessories shop din yan na taga-labas. subcon sila nung dealer. mga 2 car accessories shop kilala ko subcon sila sa hyundai/mitsu.

so most probably ang kakabit din nila sa jazz mo eh aftermarket, not really made by honda/OEM. malaki talaga mark up sa price dahil casa so to speak ang nagbenta/nagkabit and to avoid nga voiding the warranty.

pero ang magkakabit talaga nyan eh, like sa mga tints/alarm etc eh yung tao nung car accessories shop.. hindi honda personnel.

I have no idea why so many users here are so worried with the warranty for very simple add-ons.

Anyway, I would recommend that you just buy it outside the casa and save the money. Just make sure that you get a good set. I think sensors sell for less than 2,000. 2 eye sensors would be enough for a small car like the Jazz. Adding sensors are very simple and I'm pretty sure nothing will happen to the electronics of your car

also had the same dilemma early this year... contemplating between PHP6500 2-eye back-up sensors from casa vs PHP1800 4-eye sensors from outside... i took the cheap one, and guess what, same lang ang function... naka tipid pa ako ng PHP4700...

i had my alto installed with 2-eye Caido backup sensor for 1.5k sa evangelista more than 2 yrs ago and it's still working..

Walang geniune Honda back sensor. Otherwise naka describe sa owner's manual mo iyan even as an option.

What the dealer is selling is basically the same thing in Banawe pero may tatak ng Honda. Same thing with their alarm for which my friend was duped into buying. Pagkita ko, same lang sa Banawe pero may tatak ng Honda sa key chain. Even the instruction manual is typical China Engrish. hehehe.

For the Jazz, I just ordered a set from sulit.com from a seller named Roman Lao. Two eyes back sensor for Php1k and had it installed by Jemson. It also has a dash display showing the approximate measurement of the rear obstacle and as to what side it is. I still have Roman's number if you want to inquire.

It works great naman. I'm happy with it.

I did a quick canvass and the cheapest I found here was 2,000 for the backup sensors, maybe its more expensive coz I live in Cebu. I guess its cheaper there in Manila. Alright, I like all your arguments and that it does makes sense that the accessories are mostly likely subcon to Car shops rather than being Genuine Honda since they didn't come with the car. Thanks for the info! I'll get from the Car Shops nalng =)

sorry for this question, how's backing sensor is installed? nag-bubutas ba yun para ilagay yung sensor? thanks

[Harangody]

Overpriced masyado yung sa Casa, may mga backup censor with no holes na 4k lang.

yun po kasi ang range pag sa casa. meron din 5,900.

[ACidGaMbiT]

okay ba yung tig 1k na two eyes sensor ng c34x4.com? yung isa my distance display 1.4k. here are the links SNY DUAL BACK SENSOR WITH DIGITAL DISPLAY | eBay and this BACK SENSORS 2 EYE MODULES W/ VARIABLE AUDIBLE SOUND | eBay

[OTEP]

Ok naman. Got the same stuff but from another seller. 2 eyes with display/sound. Put them on a Crosswind, Jazz, and Jimny. Ok pa naman. Cousin also got the same stuff from yet another seller. Put them on a Pajero iO and Ford Escape. Ok pa din.

The one with distance indicator right sir? It's just 1.2k not 1.4k, my mistake. Its been working for how long already?

[BratPAQ]

Saan nilalagay yung led indicator pag kinabit? Ibabaw ng dashboard?

Pinalagay ko yung akin sa ibabaw mismo ng rearview mirror para isahang tingin na lang habang umaatras.

*evin, try mo goldcars, dun na ko lagi nagpapainstall ngayon dahil anggaling ng mga installers, oem install.

[SiRbossR]

Meron available back-up sensors sa CD-R king and my friend bought one. mag 3mos na. nailusong na sa baha at lahat lahat working well parin.

[evincar]

^waw tindi talaga ng CDR king pati sensor sa auto meron na hehehehe

salamat sa suggestion sir
iniisip ko lang kasi yung warranty baka ma void

Magandang Araw po mga Ka Tsikot, Newbie lang po.

Bumili po ako ng Innova 2007 G second hand, na notice ko na may backup sensor yung 2007 G model ng innova pero ang problema ko hindi ko alam kung saan ko titignan or check kung gumagana ba yng backup sensor kasi yung ibang forum nabasa ko sa may rear-view mirror may parang LCD display daw pero yung inspection-nin ko parang wala naman, parang normal na rear-view mirror lang naman hindi po kaya sa may Optitron gauges?

duda ko kasi hindi gumagana para sana ma confirm ko kugn sira nga eh kailangan kong mahanap kung saan talaga makikita yng lcd display or even sound man lang nung innova 2007 backup sensor.

mga Sirs kung may 2007 innova G po kayo pa share naman kung saan po naka 'default' yung monitor ng backup sensor.

Salamat po and Merry Christmas..

*brat: pede sa dashboard, pede sa mirror sa harap...depende san mo gusto ilagay..

[BratPAQ]

I mean yung wiring, kahit san ilagay they can hide the wiring? Ayaw ko kasi may nakalitaw na wiring eh.
