Parking Sensors

[stevethomasson]

After Dinting my rear bumper at the weekend I am looking into getting some parking sensors, and would like your help!

I regularly tow a trailor, I have a detatchable towing bracket... but detached most of the time. Can I retro-fit parking sensors and a Vaux parking sensor switch (To disable the audio when reversing with a trailor)?

Thanks in advance,

I think this one has been answered a few times. I asked vauxhall if they would do this with their after market kit and if I remember correctly they said it could be done. The vauxhall kit automatically detects when the towbar is plugged in and disables the rear parking sensors.
I decided to fit my own sensors and put up with 1mt announcement from my sensors because I only use my trailer occasionally, but I could also fit the dash switch and manually disable the sensors. Just switch the supply to the sensor controller.
The vauxhall kit is around £300 I thimk.

Hi , I've got a Laserline NP2003 thats going up for sale, it was about £125 but have got round to fitting them, it fits in behind the number plate easy to fit by the looks of things, let me know if you're interested and I'll email over some pictures etc.,
