Rear Parking Sensors. The Real Thing?

[Guest Mileman]

Anyone know if the multispace rear parking sensors give a visual as well as audio indication? Also, my dealer has quoted £300+ for retro fit of these. Does anyone know if this is the same kit as the factory kit or just a after market unit? :) :lol:

The rear parking sensors as offered on the desire are an optional factory fit extra at point of vehicle build.

 

Any parking sensors fitted to the berlingo after build should be considered an accessory.

 

I'm not aware of the Factory fit sensors giving a visual indication however companies such as Valeo produce kits with audible/visual sensing....the diplay ussually clips above the mirror.

I'm pretty certain that the factory fitted kit doesn't give a visual indication. They come with a slightly different moulding to the rear bumper with the sensors recesssed in on the corners and a disabling switch behind the handbrake. Therefore an aftermarket version will be different, unless you want to pay out for another bumper :) .
