So basically this product notifies you that your about hit a parking stop with your bumper, potentially saving you $100's. Has anyone used this before?

Well my car doesn't have parktronic, I don't see how parktronic can sense something low like a parking stop. I have parktronic on my ML & Sprinter and they don't sense low lying objects, its probably due to the heights of both.

Yes, parktronic cannot sense something that low. That's why I would like a front parking camera as well. Parking a little far back is no problem when there aren't that many cars around. But when the parking lot is full, I alway worry some drivers are going to hit a car that sticks out a little farther than other cars.
