Default Another use for the parking assist.

I just found a great use for the parking assist. When it gives me a warning, I know that I have pulled my car into the garage just the perfect distance. No more tennis ***** hanging from the ceiling!

I can't use mine like u can cuz it beeps as soon as I approach the garage and doesn't stop until I'm pulled in and turn the car off.

Mine is also really sensitive and beeps when I am close to the side or the front in the garage, but it's when you hear the solid beep that you know you are in the right place.

I do exactly the same thing, and it works perfect. I have about 5 inches clearance at front and back so getting to the right spot is critical!
