I assume you can turn off these features (with a button) if you don’t want them on? Such as when you’re off-roading

But are the aftermarket steel bumpers going to have the sensors built in? I would like this technology but want new bumpers!
No reason they couldn’t be made compatible - most bumpers for my f-250 come either plain, or pre-drilled with mounting holes for you to move the factory sensors in to.

Artec's new steel rear bumper has four sensor holes drilled into it. (See Artec's bumper shown in this forum).
Artec replied to my inquiry and said that the back-up sensors are all bundled together in one harness...so it should be fairly easy to replace the OEM bumper.

The only concern i would have is that they are very sensitive to alignment. My friend has a body shop and he says they are a pain.

I don’t understand how this could possibly be more helpful to women than to men.

I think it benefits everyone.

Safety group is awesome, blind spot is worth its weight in gold for me, especially with beltway driving.
Are the airbags part of the safety group?

The Artec JL steel bumper has two sensor holes that look straight back the same way as the OEM bumper. However, the outer ends of the bumper are angled slightly. The outer sensors will be looking in more of a fan. I think the angled sensors would give you a wider warning when you are backing up, such as backing through a narrow lane between trees. Unless the sensor holes are pointed somewhat downward, I think the hole placement may give an advantage.

I think I just saw a video on teraflex where the jeep kept putting itself into park because it was detecting some in the proximity....they parked another jeep side by side it. Ultimately they had to roll it out or use 4L.

Assuming that's real....I don' like it.

I' Also assuming that won' happen without the safety group

Here it is
