The Rear View Safety Backup Sensor System # RVS-115 is a pretty simple system as it just makes noise as the sensors start detecting objects. So you can very well install this at the front of your SUV.

If the goal is to have this installed for close parking situations then I recommend connecting the "trigger" wire (that would be connected to the reverse function of your vehicle) to a switch so you can activate the sensors only when needed. Otherwise whenever you get close to anything you'll be hearing those sensors - like at a traffic stop for example. It would be pretty frustrating to hear these constantly going off when you're at lights or stuck in traffic on the highway.
