3.0 out of 5 stars Handy, but not quite 'right', May 30, 2008

I have a four-car garage load with a two-car garage reality. Two cars, a motorcycle, tool cabinets, workbenches, ceiling mounted storage racks, etc., so space (and the ability to park very precisely) is very important.

I've tried the dangling ball, the parking 'hump', the stop light, none of which by themselves get me parked with precision time after time. This little gadget did the trick, but only when combined with one of the dangly balls to line up properly. It does its job, however.

My only complaints in that the little arms on the laser modules do not have enough 'backwards' adjustment. It needs about another 30% of swing for best adjustment, at least for my application. For now its cheap, and it works.

For those worrying about the motion-sensor bit. It is VERY sensitive. If you are in your garage working it will stay on the whole time you are there. Even a tiny bit of arm movement sets it off. It does, however, shut down very reliably. No issues in that regard.

I plugged the AC adapter into the outlet by the existing garage door opener on the ceiling of my garage. Secured the parking system to the ceiling. Then I positioned the vehicles where I wanted them and set the laser beam to show up where i wanted it to (on my dashboard.) The system is solid and I have not had one issue with them. If you like big boy toys you have to get one of these!

Great price ($12) and very easy to set up. I had similar issues that others have mentioned. Beams have limited range when pointing to the sides of the garage. I have a high ceiling in the garage and this didn't bother me all that much, but the beams are at their limit. Combat this in two ways. First, you can turn the unit 90* so the beams can point to the sides of the garage without being limited in range. You could also dremel the lip of plastic that limits the range of the beams. The other issue I had with this device is the motion sensor. It only stays on for 10 seconds at a time and doesn't always pick up on motion right away. By the time I open the garage door and get the car inside, the beams shut off a little before I'm completely at my mark. To solve this I unscrewed the four screws on the back of the casing and carefully removed the white globe that covers the motion sensor. It stays on much longer (into the minutes) and is much more sensitive to motion. I also plugged the unit into a lightbulb socket that is screwed into the garage door light. This way it can only be turned on when the garage door is activated and shuts off fully when the garage light cycle ends (usually a few minutes). This really helps when you're in the garage without the vehicles and prevents the laser from being activated with your every movement.

EDIT:
Overall I gave 1 out of 5 stars because I had to modify a few things to make it work (still not consistent). I am actually very happy with the concept of this product, but the execution from this company is very poor. The motion sensor works sporadically at best. Some days it picks up on the slightest movements and other days you need to wave a hand inches from the motion sensor to activate the lasers. It works correctly less than 50% of the time.
