Dolphin Flush Audio & Roof Reverse Parking Sensors
DFM455
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. Included with the 4 flush fit recess sensors is a digital display with integrated buzzer which gives audible bleeps with increasing frequency as you get closer to an obstacle and a digital countdown in cm. The display is both inverted and reflected so it only makes sense when read through your rear view mirror. The display comes in a grey rather than the standard black casing to match the interior of most car roofs. There is an on/off switch for the audio alerts which is built into the back of the display.

How it works
The system works by radiating ultrasonic beams throughout the area behind the vehicle. The beams are then reflected by obstructions behind the vehicle, and re-enter the sensors. The control box uses the reflected beam information to calculate the distance of the obstruction.
As with the other systems the Dolphin unit is activated when reverse gear is engaged. As the vehicle is reversing, 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.
