Retrofitted parking sensors. People's experiences?

Weaver · Mar 16th, 2015, 19:10

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has had parking sensors retrofitted and what your experiences were?

I am personally interested in:

- overall satisfaction
- what make you got and if you have a display/camera as well
- coloured coded to bumper?

Any tips or anything to look out for?

Any recommendations would be superb too.

Feel free to chuck anything in though related to the topic. Would be interested to hear from all.

I used these guys http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/ Had mine fitted outside my house (didn't want to do the bumper removal!) Went for black. Took very little time and working for 2 years now. Can be supplied for DIY too.

Hi,

I have an 08 Volvo v70. Any idea where I can get the kit from? Do you need a satnav screen for the Volvo one to work?

I got these from Ebay

Easy to fit. Left the display at the rear of the car (figured I'd be looking in my mirror anyway), that way I didn't have to route cabling to front.

Ran the display cable up the rear pillar and brought it out at the boot light.
