Mine seems to be going off constantly when I engage reverse -but not every time. Any thoughts on what the problem could be and how to rectify? (yes of course as soon as I take out of reverse it stops!) Thanks.

Mine did the same (constant beep as soon as you select reverse), twice, and the sensors causing the problem were replaced under warranty (two visits for each sensor - one for diagnosis & authorisation, the second for fitting).

Did take about 2 weeks each time for mine though, as they had to order the sensors from Germany painted in Ruby Black.

I was told to ensure they are not blasted with a jet washer as that can cause intermittent problems.

Funny mine started doing that last week, anyone know how much a sensor is?
Might be an excuse to have a quick look on fleabay ans see what I can find.

Continuous beep when engagin reverse is to tell you there is a fault in the system and not rely on it.

As stated the usual problem is water in the sensor.

Easy test is to engage reverse with ignition on and earl pressed on each sensor listen for clicking. That may highlight the faulty one.

Carsoft etc. can diagnose exactly which one is faulty or the loom/module.

Yes - water is the biggest culprit. Some report success with drying them using a hairdryer
