New here, but thought I'd share some research that I did.
The factory backup sensor doesnt work for me. Mainly because I don't like the looks and the fact that ultrasound sensors don't work so well. Dirt and such can effect how they work.
So the goal was to find something that:
1) doesn't required hacking up the bumper
2) works better than ultrasonic units
Both of the units I found below can be mounted behind the bumper, one uses dopplar radar, the other uses microwave.
1) Sensetech http://www.sensetech.com/
2) Rostra Obstacle Sensing System http://www.rostra.com/rostra-obstacle.htm
This is an install from the Ody Club.

Hope this helps someone. When I get my truck, I'll be adding one of these.
