Hello,
My rear sensors arrived and I'm planning to install when I get some time
I notice I rely on the audible sound that my other car has when backing into tight city spaces while my head is swiveling around on the look out for oncoming everything in San Francisco.
Nothing beats the pressure of backing into a parallel parking space vacated by a Mini in front of a sidewalk cafe with a row of Harley's parked behind.
Got This kit:
Remove Rear bumper:
Edit: bumper removal is not necessary...just remove the honeycomb garnish and feed the sensor wire thru the hole already in the bumper.
wire CPU to reverse light:
Drill sensors to bumper (the corner ones I'll have to figure out) maybe test out the sensitivity to see if needed and if can be placed in the honeycomb garnish.
(Blue tape marks possible layout):
Wondering if anyone reading can comment and has any advice before I attempt this install.
17 Hatchback ex-l nav and sense.
Thanks and also to the people that made the YouTube videos
