Backup Sensor question

Does the backup sensor for the TL have any sort of visual display or just the loud beeping noise? In looking around online, I see aftermarket backup sensors that have visual displays. Anyone have any recommendations on which is the best or should I just get the OEM?

Thanks!

You don't need any visual aid. You can tell from the tone if it is a sensor on the side or back as they are different. Also the speed of the sound for each one increases or decreases independently the closer you get so you know exactly where you are, even on a corner of the car.

I don't know why some think a visual aid is necessary. To me it would be just a distraction.

Yeah, I was leaning toward the aftermarket myself... but I don't know how much someone will charge me to install it.

This website has alll sort of backup sensors.. too many to choose.

No visual display with the Acura backup sensors. Just the beeping.
