Parking sensors are ineffective for objects in the middle

[fx3509]

The rear parking sensors on my 09 fx35 only detect objects that are at the corners. I backed straight into a metal pipe that was dead centre to the rear bumper and the sensors didnt make a sound. There is a rear camera but i was relying on the rear outer view mirrors. Has any one installed extra sensors at the rear? If so how?

I haven't seen anyone installing extra rear sensors, it possible that the center sensor of your FX are not working correctly, did you tested after the incident?

FX'09 doesn't have a center sensors, only on the corner... it's a problem for me too, how to connect extra sensors?

It seems that the solution is already in place with the back up camera. That would be better than a sensor I would think.

When it is rain or night - camera doesn't help evry time...
