Thanks guys for all the info. Really, it's not like I've been living in a "spider hole" for the last few years or anything. I've known about the different back-up warning devices, cameras, and all for some time. I just never associated the "things" I've noticed on the back bumpers of Caddy's as sensors, that's all. When I saw them on the Crossfire yesterday, it never dawned on me that's what they were, even though I think I've heard them mentioned right here on the Forum. That's just one thing that's so great about this Forum, a wealth of knowledge, and alot of really great people willing to help out. Once again, thanks.
