The car does have double "pumpers"...........one in front and one in the rear. lol

Rear bumper removal on the 204 is a pain in the azz if you don't have a really DEEP 10mm socket to get the center two nuts inside(under rear body panel trim cover)...............the rest of the nuts/bolts are easy to access.

What kind of parking sensors are you adding? OEM? aftermarket? Either way it would be best to remove the bumper and set it on a stand so you can drill/mount all of your sensors.

I have not tried it yet, but don't you think that seems too cheap for a parking sensor? but thn again I can be wrong. But if it was me.. I wouldn't have had the ***** to buy parking sensors for $32 on ebay and install it on a benz.

Given the cost of repairs, I'd not try to put anything aftermarket that involved electronics on my Benz.

With that said, I don't think you'd have a problem tapping into power and if you put in your own speaker, you wouldn't have to be concerned about blowing an output transistor in the radio. Problem is likely to be the connection for it to turn on when your transmission is in reverse. If its an electronic connection, there might be a problem.

I think he had it right the first time:

The guy who sold him the sensor is the rear pumper

That's the easiest part because that 12V source would be the backup light wire at the taillight plug. Just like the backup camera.
