Parking Sensors /rear Camera

panda · February 5, 2006

Anybody know the answer to this.

The wife has an 02 Reg GS 300 which she loves but for one thing - reverse parking. While it is in the garage they have given her an 05 model that has rear parking sensors and camera (really good sales technique!). Needless to say she is amazed by it. Also, needless to say, we can't afford to upgrade her to such a new car for some time. Is it possible to get the rear parking sensors and camera fitted to an older model? Costly I suppose? Any body done this?

Geoffers (username on this site) does the reversing cams.

Hope he's OK, he's not been around for a while :o

Reversing cameras on a mk1 now that I would be interested in :)

I fitted sensors to my Mk1 cost about £68 and a mornings work. if I did it again it would be quicker. I've seen cameras advertised but the sensors work well, it even tells you how far you are from the objet. Beware of the cheap £25 sensors with only two in the kit.

We have supplied QUANAN parking distance systems to loads of LOC members. It's been going a while but still managed first place in Auto Express November comparative test. Our website is www.cleargate.co.uk.

We have 3 and 4 sensor versions and the 3 sensor version (£99) is totally adequate on my GS. Always willing to do a deal for LOC members. Hope this post is OK with the manangement! PM me if interested.

I think the Prolex ones are cheaper in cost, vebra and have a display of the distance to the object and the sensor alarm state.

I fitted them to mine and they're great.... Prolex are also official traders on LOC. 80 quid colour coded, less if you want them in black... they are definatly better than the Lexus ones which I have now.
