Hi
I bought a set of four rear parking sensors through Ebay. £19.99 (less than $50 including shipping). Fitted them myself. Took about 2 hours all in. I got a hole saw in the kit with full instructions and I managed to run the wires up through the rear light cluster so no drilling of the metalwork required. It works really well. I have an Avant but I'm sure its the same for the saloons.

Yes would be interested in those too. Also does it work through sound and is there anything different when it comes to a manual transmission? Thanks.

Here are some pics of my Park assist install. Its abit tricky to see but the four cables from the sensors come up through the bottom edge of the light cluster. Four screws and an unplug of electrics and its out. very easy in the Avant anyway. I drilled a hole large enough to feed the wires up through the plastic moulding. The cluster is not affected regards workings or weather proofing. Then as you can hopfully see just connect up the preset wiring to the control box. And the feed live connected into the reverse light feed on the light cluster connection along with the earth clamp onto one of the cluster mountingbolts. The sensors themselves were measured out them drilled with the supplied hole saw for a perfect fit.
I hope this is of interest to you guys looking at fitting parking sensors.

Is there a difference in the factory parking sensors with the same part # but ending with a different letter from one year and model to the next? Who would know the answer to this question?
