I'm not sure what you mean by an alarm... The K-Source # KSVS-8 doesn't include anything that would beep as the vehicle is reversing but you could certainly add something like that if you wish.
We carry several different reverse alarms that would sound a loud beep when the vehicle's shifted into reverse. I'd recommend part # PK41820, which has a 97 dB alarm. Installation would be simply, the alarm would mount behind the rear bumper somewhere with only two wires to install. The red wire... view full answer...
The reverse light bulb type for the 2010 Toyota Tacoma is a 921 wedge type bulb. While there isn't a combination reverse light bulb and back up alarm in this size there are back up alarms available by themselves such as # PK41820.
You can mount one on the underside, rear of the vehicle and tap into a reverse light wire. I have also included a link to all of the back up alarms and sensors that we carry. view full answer...
It looks like the reverse light bulb type on a 2011 Ford F-250 is a 921 or 7440. We do not have a back up alarm that fits this socket type. But not to worry because you can still use surface mount back up alarm # BK97DB. Mount this alarm under the truck and wire it into a revere light circuit. At 97 decibels it will be louder than the type that fits in place of a reverse light bulb. view full answer...
For an HD back up alarm you would want the Pollak Heavy-Duty Back-Up Alarm # PK41761 that is adjustable from 97 dB to 112 dB.
For a switch you would want the part # D16740 and then to install it you would just need to run a power wire to the switch and then to the alarm and then ground the ground post of the alarm.
You will need to mount the alarm underneath your vehicle pointing to the rear for maximum effect. We don't have specific instructions but it would basically be having to mount... view full answer...
Even though the 7440 and the 3156 are very similar they are not interchangeable. I wish we had a 7440 backup alarm but at this time we do not.

The Hopkins Backup Sensor System part # HM60100VA does not allow for anyone to control the volume of the alarm. That said, if you ever don't want to hear the alarm you can easily unplug this and then plug it back in when needed. The Pollak Heavy-Duty Back-Up Alarm part # PK41761 does have an adjustable volume though but this could not be done from inside the cab as frankly that is just not a feature that is available for any of the back-up alarm systems. view full answer...
The Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount, # HM60100VA, is designed to be wired in with the reverse light circuits so it will only be operating when in reverse and not while towing or parked.
If you are still concerned about that annoying alarm, what you can do is to mount the actual alarm in an easily accessible location. The wire lead on it is not very long and has a connector on the end that connects to a longer strip of wiring that goes back to the sensor.... view full answer...

Yes, you can connect the yellow wire of the Curt Trailer Connector and Back-up Alarm, # C57102, to the back-up light circuit on your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Connecting the yellow wire will allow the back-up alarm to activate when you put your Jeep in reverse. view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, however we do not currently have a combination reverse 921 light bulb and back up alarm available. We are not aware of when one might become available.
We do have the stand alone Pollak Light-Duty to Medium-Duty Back-Up Alarm with Wire Leads # PK41820. This will install on the underside of your truck and tap into the reverse light wire.

The Hopkins Backup Alert Replacement Bulbs like part # HM20101VA are only offered for 3156 and 1156 type bulbs. The 2016 Ram 1500 uses a 621 type bulb therefore there is not a Hopkins Backup Alert Replacement Bulb compatible. However, you could just use a standard back-up alarm like the Light-Duty to Medium-Duty Back-Up Alarm part # PK41820 without issue but this is really your only option. The Light-Duty to Medium-Duty Back-Up Alarm has a simple two wire installation so this is something... view full answer...
We do have a few different options for you to add a backup alarm on your 2018 Chrysler Pacifica.
You could either use the Hopkins Backup Alert # HM20101VA which plugs into your 4-Way flat connector and lights up as well as emits sound when you are backing up.
Another option that doesn't involve utilizing a light is the Light-Duty to Medium-Duty Back-Up Alarm # PK41820. You will just need to ground the black wire and then run the red wire to your backup circuit.

The back up warning bulbs we offer are a replacement for the 3156 bulb, and your Yukon XL uses a different bulb. We do however have back-up alarms that will beep loudly when your vehicle is shifted into reverse. I'd recommend the Pollak Back Up Alarm, part # PK41851. The alarm would wire into the reverse lamp circuit of your Yukon, and would sound when the vehicle transmission is shifted into reverse. Its 107 decibel horn would be easily audible on a loud and chaotic jobsite. view full answer...
We carry 2 alarms that fit in the light socks of the reverse lights. One is # HM20101VA that you have already determined does not fit. The other is # HM20100VA, which definitely will not fit.
What I recommend is the Surface Mount Back-up Alarm, # BK97DB. You can mount this device under the vehicle. It wires into the reverse light circuit on the vehicle and will actually be more audible than one of the replacement bulb alarms. view full answer...

There are some things to consider first. I do not recommend pulling the fuse for the back up sensors or disconnecting anything in the system because there may be a time when you forget to reconnect it and you might need it.
Also, the sensors and alert should only go off when you are in reverse. While driving forward, the alarm should not go off. So you have to consider how much you will be backing up and if that is really enough to make you want to disable the system.

Installation of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75338 on the 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not affect the back-up-alarm sensors and will not have a negative impact on the sensors. The only affect you may notice is that when a trailer is connected to the vehicle the backup alarm may sound when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
If your 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the OEM tow hook, most do not, it will need to be removed which will require removal of the rear fascia, plastic bumper support... view full answer...
From the information I was able to find your 2012 Subaru Impreza uses a 921 size bulb.
The Hopkins Back-Up Alert Bulb is only offered in bulb size 1156 or 3156. Unfortunately neither of these will work on your vehicle.
I recommend going with the Surface Mount Back-Up Alarm, part # BK97DB. This unit could be mounted under the vehicle behind the bumper and is easily installed by tapping into the reverse lamp circuit.

The audible warning alarm included with the Hopkins Backup Sensor System # HM60100VA is loud enough that you can install it at the rear of the vehicle's interior. So long as the alarm has a reasonably direct path to your ears you will not have trouble hearing its unique beeping sound. Also, when you're backing up you'll know to listen for the alarm anyway. If it were placed further up front it could be startling to passengers. view full answer...
