If you were stateside you could get the job done for much less at any car toy store, but it looks like you are in Kuwait, so it might be a challenge. Maybe contact a retailer here who could recommend a good brand with easy directions for installation.

No No I am from P.R the picture was an example of what I want. I whant to know what brand of back up sensor does Toyota use or any other good back up kit available that can be used on a camry and can be painted like oem ones.

Isn't the backup sensor is a proximity sensor only? I find it useless. Backup camera is a better choice, you can see it.

Oh, and from what I understand it's easy to install this proximity sensor. It just beeps.

I bought mine from ebay for $40 and installed my self. Works fine, tho i need to change 1 sensor, it keeps beeping randomly ( after 3 .5 years).

I bought backup sensors from ebay for around $20 and then installed them on my Camry. It took me about 2-3 hours because I had trouble removing the trunk trim but that was about it. Everything else is pretty straightforward. I put the distance display on the rear deck. So far, it's working great, and it's quite accurate. The ebay seller had a color that was similar to my Camry so I didn't have to paint it.

Those look nice I am looking at the Audiovox kit but I am no sure if they can be painted.

Hey Cottn,

Wondering if they beep or if you have to look at the LED screen?

Thanks,

Yes they beep, and the beeps get faster as you get closer to something, then solid sound when you get too close. If you put the lcd display on the rear deck you can see it while you're reversing, which helps.
