Question:

I’m torn between the BM28YR passenger kit and the BM39FR commercial kit for my sprinter van conversion. How do they differ in detection range?

Expert Reply:

Aaron, the BrandMotion Parking Sensor Passenger Vehicle Kit # BM28YR detects up to 120 cm (about 4 feet), while the Commercial Vehicle Kit # BM39FR reaches up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet). That extra range on the # BM39FR can give you more reaction time when you’re backing a long van toward a wall, dock, campsite, or tight alley. I recommend the commercial kit for your Sprinter.

Do you want me to sketch a diagram showing both detection zones so you can picture how much extra stopping space the commercial kit gives? I personally like visuals more.

Other Sprinter or van owners - which kit did you choose, and how has the range worked for your parking and loading situations? Drop your experiences below so Aaron can see what’s worked in real-world use.
