Thread: Front park sensors

My D4 came with front parking sensors, I have fitted an ARB Bull bar and they no longer work. Must admit I do not miss them. Are you sure the $900 is just for the front sensors ?, if so I would think twice about it.

My RRS does not have front sensors but I wished I had them - $900 wow - I have a set of $60 ebay versions on another vehicle and they work great - if you want them same the $900 and get an after market set put on.

Yep Tony 900 big ones...nothings cheap as far as options go, as the car will also have the upgraded meridian sound system, I believe it displays a perimeter warning in the head unit display.

Technology pack is the best value if you are looking for front sensors.

Food for thought

You could retro fit the OE sensors for less than half the cost, if you're pretty handy.

I've got them fitted on my HSE as standard equipment. Basically, I class them as a "nice to have" rather than a must have. Once you know your car, it's not hard to judge where the front corners are and you can always be conservative when you park etc..

They can be annoying when you're deliberately parking close to something. I have found myself saying "I know, I know" when they start getting hectic at a close range

BTW I had an ECB bar fitted and the sensors work fine.

If you want I can take a photo of the screen when they're active - let me know if you do.

Hi Martin, you raised some interesting points, which have also crossed my mind...do I need another noise beeping at me when I have a fair idea where the front of it will be.

But I will take you up on your offer of the pic & thank you very much for that.

Looks like it may be the power folding mirrors instead.
