TailGauge Products for Consumer Use

The TailGauge Vehicle Backup Sensor System was designed specifically to help automobile and truck drivers back up safely by providing a second set of eyes. While you are backing up, the system's backup sensors see what you cannot, and it warns you if there is an obstacle in your way.  TailGauge works in ice, snow or rain, when visibility can be poor! Our products warn you audibly if you are within 5 feet of a person or object.

• Child safety - Because you cannot always see when children, adults or pets are behind your vehicle
• Backing up Cars and RVs - Our backup sensors can prevent costly accident damage
• Parallel Parking - Now you will know exactly how much maneuvering space you have

Multiple objects behind you?
No problem…..TailGauge backup sensor system, will lock on to the closest one.  Also, moving objects are automatically prioritized.

"I compliment you for your excellent backup warning system. After a year of heavy use it is still working flawlessly.....in contrast with another similarly priced system, installed at the same time on my second vehicle, which has completely failed. I should have [chosen] the TailGauge system for both family vehicles. I will order your system to replace the one on the Suburban. ....Installation on our sedan was quick and easy. The step-by-step instructions were clear and easy to understand. There has been no "falsing" or unnecessary signaling.... The extended range....provides more time to avoid a collision with another .... vehicle like in a shopping center. Sounding the horn could prevent a costly collision.... TailGauge provides very comprehensive info on your systems on the net. This should be a must [read]... before making a buying decision.

Our Audio-Only System with FLUSH MOUNT Sensors!!

Our Model A-F is a beep and voice warning unit that uses four almost-invisible, flush-mounted sensors to detect obstacles up to 12 feet behind your vehicle and people at around 5 feet from the rear of your vehicle. It warns you with beeps and a voice warning that actually says how far away an obstacle is from the rear of your vehicle.

Our surface mount sensor system that talks to you!

The Model A uses the same beep and voice warning  method as the Model A-F, but uses three surface-mounted sensors to detect objects up to 8 feet from the rear of your vehicle and people at around 5 feet from the rear of your vehicle.

The TailGauge^® Vehicle Backup Sensor System was designed for easy installation by anyone (even a novice!). It can be installed in as little as 2½ hours using some basic household tools. No special expertise is needed in order to install the system.  

Please note: TailGauge does not provide vehicle-specific support for a variety of reasons. The primary one is that the variety of makes and models (including intra-model year changes) and the variety of trim packages that each manufacturer offers make it difficult to provide this type of specific advice. However, all of our systems are designed to install easily in the average car, van, light truck, pickup, bus, etc.

In addition:

The variety of layouts of electrical systems, even in the same vehicle model, means that any such advice could be inaccurate. Likewise, we are unable to provide vehicle-specific installation support for issues including where to run the cables, how to remove the door/ceiling liners/carpeting, etc. However, our customers have found that the installation information in our manuals (provided with every kit) has been sufficient and helpful for most installations. In those exceptional cases where expert help is needed, we provide support to qualified technicians who are already familiar with the electrical systems of the vehicles on which they work.

“There are a lot of kids in my neighborhood. I have always been fearful of hitting one of them as I pull out of my driveway. This system gives me a peace of mind. It really works. I still use caution, but the system has given me a peace of mind. I have not yet had a child behind me, but this thing has detected basket balls and other toys.”
