cragman 2,791 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Anyone on here fitted or had fitted rear and/or front parking sensors on their vehicle. If so, is it an easy job to do yourself? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,791 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Peugeot 308. Ive seen places that fit them but I was just wondering if it's manageable doing it yourself? Thanks for the constructive comments fellas ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,083 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 best i`ve fitted have been the x-vision kits but they are usually a trade only set up, my method was to use paracord taped to a bit of wiper blade steel infill, drill the bumper (if you can get your hand there, there`s enough room for the sensor), use the steel & paracord to set loops in every hole, feed that into the car (can be the worst bit),, tie on the sensor wires and pull them into the boot area, connect up to the control box, fit siren, connect to reverse and a good earth point and the jobs done, take no longer than an hour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Theyre fitted as standard on our car, and I have to say that they are the single best thing.....for driving me absolutely f***ing nuts ! Thank the Lord, I can switch them off ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Why would you want them on the front? Don't you have a windscreen to see how close you are to the object in front of you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeskyWabbits 464 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I fitted a kit to my Peugeot 306 saloon. The saloon version is a pain to reverse as the back end tapers and you can't see it at all. I got the kit from Maplin's. It was £30 at the time but I have seen it as low as £15 in the regular sales they have. This one is a posh version with a wireless sender, whereas with mine you had to run a wire from the boot to the dash. No great challenge. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/four-sensor-wireless-reversing-kit-a84jw If you can drill holes evenly spaced and can fasten wires together then you have the technical skills to fit one. With my kit, there were 2 wires, one to earth (I used a convenient body fixing screw) and one to the reserving light wire. I don't have the car anymore, it wasn't up to towing my caravan, so I sold it to buy a Frontera (what a lemon). The reversing alarm was well worth the money and never went wrong and never complained about the tow bar I fitted later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
