My brother introduced these to me. I bought one for each vehicle. They work great and we can park exactly in the same place every time. Simple and runs on battery or can get one that uses AC. Are very consistent. I attached to cabinet doors. No need for hanging balls or pieces of wood on the floor. Get a perfect park every time. Well worth the money.

I have them attached to cabinet doors. I can now walk around our vehicles without opening the garage door and allowing for the max room behind them. I can also lower my tailgate inside the garage now

My dad hangs a tennis ball from a string and stops just short of it touching the windshield. It's a low tech solution with a low tech pricetag. Although I'm a high tech type of guy, my kids fill my garage with bikes, so I rarely get to park in it :(

I just use the sensors on the truck. As soon as I get the first chirp on the front, I stop. Truck ends up centered just right with plenty of room in the front and room to drop the tailgate in the back.

I use a Laser on the ceiling that shines through the windshield onto the Dash. Never gets blocked and plugs into the same outlet as the Garage door opener so no batteries to replace. Not all my cars have Front sensors.

I use the back up camera to line the red parking assist horizontal line up with the seam between the garage floor and the driveway. I got pretty good at eyeballing before confirming in reverse. Also use same strategery with my Outback. Love I can get both vehicles in the garage with room to spare.
