I have my car in my bodyshop for painting and since the bumpers are off I want to install the parktronic wires to make easier to complete the installation at a later date. However I am not sure from which side of the bumper the wires have to come off. I need to know for both front and rear. from the battery side or the opposite side? Please bear in mind that my car is a UK spec one, hence the steering wheel is in the opposite side! Any help regarding parktronik bumper wire installation and sensors would be greatly appreciated!

 

There is a hole in the rear of the body with a cover in it and there is a clip location on the front bumper where the front harness connector sits.

 

thank you benzmods, however still confused which bumper side the clip is, battery side or opposite side? also how about rear bumper. thanks

 

connector front bumper 203: RIGHT side (no matter where the battery or the steering wheel is)
connector rear bumper 203: RIGHT side (no matter where the battery or the steering wheel is)

greetingz,

 

Thanks steve

 

if you have never taken the grommet out before and reinstalled it on the front side, you're in for a bit of a surprise.

 

thanks sunil, figure out which side the wires go, however where do the wires come into the car from? are there special locations? still trying to figure this out. thanks

 

Why dont you pay one of the guru installers to get it done and then at least you can start using the equipment.

 

THIS WOULD BE GREAT!!! Unfortunately none of them is available at the moment to come to UK.... (I asked both Steve and Sunil)... You see not a lot of demand here to persuade them to come...

 

yes, the wires go through the passanger side, through the firewall. There is a rectangular grommet there which will allow you to pass the plastic tube thing on the harness into it. The grommet must be taken apart for this. The wire will appear on the right side behind the battery (in usa cars). I am not sure what is on the right side in the engine compartment of uk cars.

 

thank you sunil, you are always a great help. I wish you were able to come here sometime... you would have sorted out a lot of the tricky tasks of modifying a w203.
