Anyone try retro park distance control installation?
if so, what's involved in the process? must you replace the entire $1,300 rear bumper? i regret not getting it. i've already bumped into 3 pillars.

Dealer is not likely to do it. Since you're in the bay area, you should contact Scorchie (aka Dean) on this board. He should be able to help even though he seems to be MIA at the moment.

Another Option Is To Go See Your Local Higher End Stereo Shops, They Have Aftermarket Sensors That Can Be Color Matched And Look Factory. You Just Don't Get The Lights, But They Could Be Added. They Mostly Only Do The Rear Only Since They Can Wire It Off The Reverse Lights, The Front Are Speed Dependent From The Factory. If You're In The Bay Area Let Me Know I Can Find You A Good Shop.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I contacted Steve on this board and he said it is hard to do on the 07 W211s. Apparently there are no more strips you could take out. I would have to replace the entire bumper, front and rear.
I am fine with just adding the parktronic to the rear, and don't really need the lights. The beeping sound is sufficient.

Contact Steve @ MBenzNL if Dean is missing.
