Graham Goode probably do them but will be expensive, and may make loud engine revving noises instead of the beep-beep LOL

But seriously places like carnoisseur or halfords etc probably do them, if you are really after one

If you have an automatic WRX, you get one as standard

Thanks

Company called Brigade make a reverse alarm that is also a reverse bulb.

You just change the bulb in the lamp and you then dont have to wire in a seperate unit.

You can get them from trade auto electrical stores.

Email if you want the phone number of Brigade and i will get it from work on Monday

It's not for the Scoob. You see I've just become a fully paid up member of the "White Van Man Association" so I should probably be asking about a bleeper that says "Get out the f@#*ing way you blind b'#tard !!"
However being the mild mannered person that I am I'd prefer one that just goes BLEEP BLEEP.

I've contacted brigade.
Thanx

GavinP,

Is the reverse beep on the auto wrx just the jap standard "remind the driver were not going forwards" beep, or an external, warn everyone around that the scoobies about to do something backwards?

If its the same as mu auto GTB - its to remind the driver he's going backwards - you can't hear it outside unless the window is open

Just seen a kit in the latest Demon Tweeks Direct Catalogue.

It's called the 'Park Boy III' (I think they're German, so you can forgive them the name ). Its described as "an all round parking aid designed to help you manoeuvre into confined spaces" etc.

It's meant to be a DIY installation, but I guess that would depend on your level of expertise. Price quoted is £215.27 (incl VAT)
Contact DT on 01978 664466.

Cheers

Chris
