Parking sensors
« on: January 10, 2014, 03:32:47 pm »
Looking at fitting a rear genuine rear bumper with what I can only assume are geniune parking sensors already fitted. Question is, how do I go about connecting up the rear sensors so they work when the bumper is all fitted. (I have a 2005 1.9tdi) I do not have a rns510 or equiv, I'm using kenwood dnx520vbt

Also can I modify an r32 twin centre exhaust to fit without it causing any issues (thinking just the back box)

Apologise for my ignorance but cars are not my strong point!

Your help is appriciated

how about you give a bit more info on the parking sensors. Are they made by bosch?

They are already fitted to the geniune r32 bumper I'm looking at so not sure the brand. I assume they are factory fitted?

if you want help on the parking sensors then more info is required

To be honest, I would stick to the exact tyre type recommended by VW for their car.  I'm sure they are more than qualified to tell us which specific measurement will be best for the vehicle.

Posted on the wrong thread by the looks of things.

As regards the reversing sensors, if you're just fitting the bumper which has the sensors fitted, then chances are you've only got the sensors. You need the rest of the kit (such as the wiring, bleeper box, and related stuff) to make it all work. Best have the car looked at by someone who knows what needs to be fitted rather than asking for advice over the web, as it's fraught with problems.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.
