A vehicle object detection system is disclosed that audibly conveys to the vehicle operator the direction of the detected object relative to the vehicle through the vehicle's audio system. The system includes a sensor array, a processor, and a speaker arrangement. The sensor array detects an object remote from the vehicle and generates a signal when an object has been detected. The processor receives and processes the sensor array signal. Then, the processor transmits the processed signal to the speaker arrangement. The speaker arrangement audibly conveys the processed signal over multiple audio channels. The method of detecting an object remote from the vehicle is also disclosed. The method involves detecting an object remote from the vehicle, determining information relating to the object, determining whether the information relating to the object meets certain criteria and, if certain criteria are met, transmitting sound over multiple audio channels to audibly convey object information through the vehicle's audio system, and modulating the sound outputted to give the driver directional cues for the position of the object.
