one wire runs to the front of the car for the display.

apart from that one earth, and one live feed from reverse light cable at bulb

that's it.

Thanks for the info.
Just one more question, if you don't mind?
Can you give me an idea of how tall it is?
If I decide to buy this kit, I would want the display mounted on top of the rear view mirror if there is enough room between the roof liner and the top of the mirror.

Got visual with the kit I was given but didn't install it as it's a bit belt and bracers for me and running the cable from the back to dash was a hassle I didn't feel worth it.

P.S. R Design rear bumper does not have markings for sensor location.

So you've found that just the sound works well?

Yes, but then you have to understand the measure of the beeps. It's not hard but for some a display maybe easier.

But the advantage of the display is you can tell what side is in danger of hitting something, an example when i was reversing in to a driveway, the sounder activated to the left rear i looked in the mirror and it was just a twig from a bush, on continuing it activated on the right i could not see so got out and it was a small post in the ground.
