Did you have reverse gear engaged?

This is required, but then they should work even with the clutch down.

Reverse display? Mine only beeps at me and has never shown anything on the display? Mine is a 1.8 EX 08, Was never it was actually mean to display anything. I thought it was audio only?

Yes, at least on the face-lift models, you can see on the central display (the one for the board computer) the direction of the obstacles.

How can you tell if it is a facelift model?

Never thought there was a display option for that, then again only had the car for a short time

what distance does anyone elses beep at mine is only about 18"

The time I've really used them I think it starts picking up at around 24" and seems to go 'continuous' (or 'flatline!') at about 10". Need to use it a bit more to be sure of its consistency, but it does also seem to detect objects about 8" to either side of the rear corners of the car too.

An 08 car is pre-facelift. The facelift is model year 2009 and forward. You can tell this by the VIN.
