Default Reverse Warning Sensors

For the last 5 years all the cars I've had have had either reversing camera or reverse sensors, now I know a good driver doesn't need them, but I have found them very handy & I surprisingly miss them. I found these Parkmate but if you click the Full Item Descritpion it takes you to HERE which says they are not suitable for Can-Bus, I thought the C30 was Can-Bus when I asked them their only response was "Well if t's Can-Bus they are not suitable" which didn't help greatly

yes you will need a volvo main dealer to download the software to the car to make it all work once you have fitted it

Another big thank You, where how do you link it into the harness? I'll be honest I don't understand Canbus, for the towbar I bought a specific harness which just meant I had to unplug/plug a harness in, I know where there is live, earth is easy, but in the image it shows brake+ I would have expected reverse?
