is there a thread how to install parking sensors/??

 

Someone did one a couple of years ago. A search for parktronics should find it. If you have the MM a backup camera is easier and cheaper and im my opinion better.

 

MM????

 

Multimedia package (so not Audio 20, but doesn't have to be the full command system, just the 7" automated screen.) But I would like to add parktronic to my car on top of rearview camera. Not necessarily for the rear, but also for the front, and I would love to modify it to warn for curbs as high as the front lip. Obviously I would do this first, since I have audio 20, and then eventually do a Command retrofit and then add a backup camera.

 

i have the screen...but i dont think i can istall alone the camera...

so i will go with parktronik..
i can install both front and rear ,correct?

 

If you have the flip-up screen, I am 99% sure you can install the rear backup camera, and you don't need parktronic for it either. You can install parktronic in both the front and rear, but you have to drill holes and then get it hooked up to a meter that gets installed in the front dash near your windshield beyond the screen.

 

I believe you need to buy new bumpers for installing parktronik.
If you go with "quick park", you use your existing bumper and drill hole. Quick park only for rear.

As alternative, look here: http://www.proxel.com/eps-dual.htm.

 

anyone have used one of those??

its sure better look than the "holes" thing..but is reliable?

 

You do need to install new bumpers for parktronic.. I did this, and I need to check with a US dealership once my car comes in to even see if I can get it working, as the 2009 Euro parktronic computer was not compatible with the US D-BUS.

Here's the parking system I've seen most often recommended.
