Rear parking sensors

[Barbourc1]

Hi all,

Does anyone have any pictures of the skoda accessory genuine rear parking kit? Is it the same as the standard fit ones? As we were led to believe by the salesman they were standard flush fitting ones and the ones which have been fitted stick out from the bumper?

Thanks

Indeed. The ones from the factory dont have a collar. Also, the radio display works with the sensors and the sound comes from the car speakers.

If its a dealer fit kit (like mine) the sensors have a collar, theres a small speaker in the boot doing the beeping, and the radio doesnt display.

Give me a minute, I'll take you a picture

This is the dealer fit.

Im sure somebody will have a pic of the factory fit, so you can compare.

Yeah thats what has been fitted to SWMBOs car. Although we had requested flush fit. Are we asking the impossible? Or do the flush fit sensors fit her 14 plate Monte? Thanks

I had the dealer fit rear parking sensors to my Fabia Monte Carlo before I took delivery and they look very much like those in Otaylor38's photo, I'm guessing that factory fit would be the only way of getting flush mounted sensors to be honest.

They would fit, but its not the kit that the dealers fit.

I think the collar hides the cut of the hole. The flush fit doesnt need this because its done in a factory on a machine. The dealers ones do because the holes is cut by them and could look a little rough around the edges.

Fitting the entire factory fit sensors is possible, connecting it to the radio etc (somebody on here has done it) but its a big job and 'not for the faint hearted'

Cant you just live with the collar? Whats wrong with them?

Cobra make OE looking sensors (flush fit) and I have fitted some before, the dealer fit ones look ugly IMO

how much are dealers charging for these kits out of interest as i wouldn't mind some fitted on mine as miss my old BMW ones, even last Type R had them fitted.

I cant remember tbh. I could look through the paperwork but im not sure itd say as it was a condition of purchase that it has them on.

Give them a ring and get a price?

We just ordered a Fabia, that doesn't have them. But we wouldn't buy without. We were quoted £399 for the dealer fit (how much?), but have got them thrown in to close the deal. I know they will be better quality that the £19 ebay ones, but you could have an awful lot of failures and new ones for that difference.

Rear parking sensors are the dug's. Definitely the most useful optional extra on mine - I've also got full climate control, cruise and Bluetooth.

We paid £180 fitted from the dealer
