Front Parking Sensors + OEM Switch *Installed*

Arash007ir

Ready to race!
Finally finished installing my front parking sensors.

Sensors were mounted couple of months ago, but, I was waiting for my shipment to arrive to finish the wiring.

- Parking sensors: $20 (Had to be painted)



- Front Parking Sensors Switch: $20

- Park Assist Button: $15 (Is not necessary for parking sensors only)

- Wiring and Connector: $4

- Push to Switch Relay Module: $5











Front Bumper Off:





Parking sensors location was already marked on the bumper:











Drill bit came with the sensors:



Cover the area with painter's tape to protect the paint:











Just to be safe I put some silicon glue around the sensor holders:





Wires sorted out:















Took a while to find somewhere to channel the wires:









There is a plastic plug between the door and the body, after the plug was back in, I put some silicon over the plastic cover to prevent any water that might get in:







Control Unit:





You can use the lighter plug to get power for control unit and to illuminate the switches:








*UPDATE*














Cheers,

Arash

Very nice! I love reading about retrofits.

Does it just beep louder, through the stereo, and more frequently with the sensors engaged?

Nice install. So that's what those blank buttons get replaced by.

Will this work with a manual trans car? I'm hoping it will, but realize it probably doesn't.

Got one more button to install. Comfort/Sport button.

I didn't get the Park assist, it's only the parking sensors and beeps as you get closer to an obstacle(Useful for parking in tight spaces). Doesn't matter if your car if your car comes with automatic or manual transmission.

OMG! looks good! where did you get that garage button?

I got it from http://carstyle4you.com/

Here is my thread on it.

Thanks for another great post. Some questions...
Did you get these parts off of BuyChina.com /mind pointing us to the source?

What did it cost to get these painted at the body shop?
