Well, the microprocessor is in the case and everything is wired. I am waiting on delivery for one more LED indicator for one parking spot. The sensor for the civic works great. The unit is turned on by an Insteon OutletLinc only when the garage door is open, and when the car reaches 42 inches from the sensor (the wall), the light lights up.
I just have to mount the controller box to the wall and clean up the mounts for the light and ultrasonic sensors.

I was just looking at your blog with great interest. Do you have an estimated cost per unit?
I love your Z06! I have a 67 Coupe and a 71 T-top but they drive like tanks compared to your’s.
Looks like you’re an INSTEON user. I though I might pass along our web site.
BTW, you have a great looking blog.

I was just playing around with the arduino. It could be made fairly cheap, but the ultrasonic sensors cost about $30 each. You could use a ir sensor that is much cheaper. I think a 2 car solution could easily be done under $100. I know, its alot for a parking sensor, but building and programming were the fun parts.
