It's funny (or not) listening to the stories of driving into garages with the boxes on. My old neighbors wife did it twice over the years I think in various parking decks. He yelled and cussed so much until he did it himself about 4 months later when borrowing her vehicle. Ha!
Anyways he did a fab job using some sort of proximity sensor. I actually think it was the wireless backup aftermarket cameras wired in to the front of the box somehow. I never studied the details but it looked like a pretty sweet setup and was barely noticeable. Not sure how it was wired, he may have brought a tiny wire in through the window during box travel times or it possibly used batteries (sorry I should know more details!). He said it worked well and only gave him some false alarms when going through drive thru's, toll boths, etc. which he was fine with.
There is a place called Heads Up that actually produces a product just for this but I think it is only for you house and runs on 2.4 Ghz connection. For that a strip of blue painters tape would work fine, it is the times you are out of town or running around away from the house it is needed.
I know there are a bunch of folks here with good imaginations and skillz for that sort of thing, could be cheap safety measure given the costs of those dang boxes!
OP and follow up - both vehicles look great.
