Anyway system worked perfect after it was all put back together. However later that day when I stuck it in reverse the buzzer beeped constantly despite not being near any object. I put this down to the fact that it was raining which may be affecting the sensitivity. Next day (when dry) buzzers still beeped constantly in reverse so I dismantled the system (removing rear bumper again) and fitted the angle spacers so as to make sure the sensors were not hitting off the ground.. Again they worked fine at first but later in the day the problem reappeared.
Today I extensively tested the sensors swapping them between inputs on the control box, wiring them up individually removing them from the bumper and pointing them at the sky just to make sure there is no ground interference etc. Basically I found that there is little consistency in the operation of the sensors. They may operate as they should for a while and suddenly for no reason they may fail to detect a large object within 24”.
I also found that when they are sensing an object up close (constant buzzer sound) and the object then moves out of range then they often fail to detect this and continue to activate the buzzer. On one occasion I left my car stationary in reverse for a while (engine off) and listened to the buzzing as it changed from intermittent to continuous to off and so on without any objects being near.
I am just after reversing in to a space at my work and when starting the manoeuvre the buzzer sounded constant however as I got near a wall the system started to operate as it should with intermittent buzzes. Who knows how it will behave when I return to it.
I am beginning to wonder if I should have splashed out a bit more on some sensors.
Anyone else experiencing problems with the CISBO kit.

Hi Surfdog,
Fitted my sensors over the weekend and exactly what you descibed is happening to mine, cant tell you how p****d of I am, tried all the sensors in each connector etc etc... all seems fine for a while then BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEP randomly ( Even when stood still!), however when the sensors detect something is there it overrides the random beeping and detects the objects.
The only thing left to test is the control box, I'm going to contact the suppliers today to see if they can help.
Did you manage to sort yours out?
