Default Which Reversing Sensor?

In a classic case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.........which reversing sensor would you recommend for my family 'bus'? I will need the services of a mobile fitter too, in the Doncaster area.

Auto Express rated the Quanan Q2030S as best. A visual display is not essential- I think an audible one that engages with reverse lights is adequate.

Opinions much appreciated.

I had one fitted at Halfords last year , its the one thats fits on the number plate holder ,Think it cost about £100(incl fitting) and does what it says on the tin, and no complaints so far.

kbsub- that one was mentioned in the Auto Express review as being good too and is a good price. What is it like at picking up a bollard or metal post as far across as a rear light cluster though?

Picks up everything as long as your in reverse gear , you can also adjust the sensitivity as well . As I work nights and often come home in the early hours , its saved me a few times from reversing into the wife's car.
