Hoy there. Recently installed a new headunit, for android auto pleasure. The success in this, and getting to integrate with canbus systems so well sparked my DIY spirit.

And now as i happen to have spare parking sensors in the correct color after replacing rear bumper with one from a scrapped car i figure i might as well use this DIY spirit and add parking sensors to the front.

But how do i do this? Assuming ill need s wiring harness, but any other parts ill need? Will i have to tinker with software in the car aswell?

If you want to make this a bit easier than it might end up being, maybe check the Kufatec website for kits and wiring cables, hopefully when you look at the kits they sell, you should be able to work out exactly the parts you need to move from "rear parking sensors only" to "front and rear parking sensors", then when you look at the wiring harnesses they sell, you should be able to buy that. After buying the harness, you will be able to log into their support instructions for that kit.

Now, all that written above is based on my experience of adding front parking sensors to my 2011 Audi S4 in 2015, but hopefully you will find the same availability of stuff for your 2013 Fabia.

I am a bit fussy so I wanted to achieve "as factory" or as near as possible, I bought all support parts via ebay, sensors were bought new but at sensible prices, I had to cut and splice the front bumper cable as it looked like one version was made for a wide range of ages of my car and typically LHD only, which can explain the need to alter the wiring slightly - I just checked the wire types used and bought a couple of reels of same sizes,I even bought a replacement "bumper" and "car" side set of connectors as Kufatec uses a size that leaves unused connections - I'd guess that like Audi, Skoda will also use at factory the correct connectors and so leave no unused connections.

Coding, yes a few modules will need their coding altered to add in this upgrade, I've got VCDS so used that and tip/guides/hints from motoring forums, everything went perfectly, just a bit worrying punching the holes in the front bumper!
