Dolphin Flush Audio Front Parking Sensors
DFM400F
Flush Fit Sensors
These sensors have a large adhesive rim which means that after you have used the hole punch to create your hole, you just need to remove the red layer and adhere the sensor to the inner side of your bumper with the centre lined up in the hole. Finally the inner part of the sensor then has a screw mechanism to adjust the front of the head forwards to align it with the front of the bumper, this mechanism allows for different thickness of bumpers to give a proper flush fitting. Fixing sensors in this way mean that they are flush with your bumper giving the ultimate discrete factory fitted look.

What You Get
The Dolphin flush fit kit is a high quality 4 flush mounting sensor system that will cover the widest range of cars giving a professional finish. This front parking sensor kit comes with longer 6m cables on the flush fit sensors enabling you to wire around the engine bay and under the dashboard where the brain box can be installed securely in a whether-proof environment. Included is a buzzer which gives audible bleeps with increasing frequency as you get closer to an obstacle which can also be mounted under the dashboard.

If you wear a hearing aid we would recommend that you consider the DFM450F kit which also has a display, as opposed to this stand alone audio in case the audible pitch of the alert is incompatible with your hearing aid.

How it works
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams covering the area in-front of the vehicle. The beams are reflected by obstructions ahead, and re-enter the sensors. The reflected beam information is processed to calculate the distance of the obstruction.
With the Dolphin Front Parking Sensors you need to power them via a small toggle switch on the dashboard which is included with the kit. Then you manually turn the sensors on, as and when you need to use them (or see CANBUS option below). When the vehicle is less than 1.5 metres from the obstruction the audible alert will emit intermittent bleeps. As the vehicle gets closer to the obstruction the frequency of the bleeps increases. At 30 centimetres from the obstruction the bleeps become a continuous solid tone.
CANBUS Interface
Optionally if you have a modern CANBUS wired car you may use a CANBUS interface that will take a speed reading for the cars engine management system and automatically bring the sensors on whenever your speed is below approximately 6mph. This would give you a very professional finish, cost of the CANBUS interface is £49.99 and comes with instructions. Please check for your Vehicle Compatibility.
