    Default Parking Sensors / Color Codes

    Hi everyone

    A few months ago I've bought an Opel 2004 Vec C 1.9 CDTI, my previous car was a 1996 Ford Fiesta , and, in some situations, I'm having trouble parking my Vec..

    So I've searched a lot and I decided to buy an aftermarket parking kit with 8 sensors an a lcd display.

    My choices are:

    1- http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Color-LCD-Rea...item27ce753c13

    2- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-Car-Reve...item5d37436c04

    Both dealers offer plenty of sensor colors, but, from pictures I cant choose the code to fit my car color.

    My car color code is Moonland 155/3KU (dark grey), can anyone help me pointig the best matching color?

    Both kits use the brake light to activate the front sensors, I'm not shure if this is a good solution..., I've searched alot for an origianl parking sensor switch on e-bay, but ended up finding nothing, where can I find that switch?

    Well, thats all for now, later (maybe in a month ) I will post pictures of the "montage".

    Thanks in advance!

    So, I bought this kit

    and painted it.

    Last weekend, with my brother's help ( he did almost everything...), I mounted the kit on my car.

    Now I have a problem: the display is blinking continuously, even after removing the key from the ignition (for about 30 seconds), it seems the car is sendig electric pulses to test al the circuits and bulbes and that electricity is enough to power the sensor kit...

    Any clues on how to solve this?

    Did you wire it to the lighting circuit? Sound like its doing the bulb check some how, swap the 12v feed and it should stop it...
