Do These Freeze up causing audible alarm to be on all time.
Reversed off the drive ok and went on the xmas run. When i got to location i stuck it in reverse and the sound was constant. I had a look and coudnt see anything on the outside of the sensors so i just presumed they froze @ -5

Yes.. well the weather causes havoc with the hair in this weather!
No - others have said the hairdryer is best option and then some sort of repellent...

Certain members around here - not mentioning any names - appear to think being an E71 Owner is a form of repellent.

I think that they do freeze over and the thin layer of ice makes them beep constantly.
If one is damaged/broke it would show up with a diagnostics check and would beep on and off.
I don't know what's up with mine though as they have been beeping constantly even in the warmer weather....there getting right on my

now
