Retrofitting Rover Parking Sensors

StevenWilliams · 6th September 2008, 14:29

I've purchased a complete set of rover parking sensors plus ECU, sounder and cables from the same guy who is selling this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=180285883297

If I drill the holes and connect it up will it just work or do I need to get on a T4 to tell the car it now has it?

Also the paint on one of the sensors looks a but rough. As i will be painting them anyhow is there anything wrong with lightly rubbing it down or will that affect the sensor performance.

I'm not worried about drilling the holes and getting under the parcel shelf is a doddle (Just fitted the electric rear blind).

Just wondered if I need a T4

There is an item for PDC in the T4 menus (as pictured in posts here). It's been reported the system should work without it, but it can be helpful in diagnosing faults.

Search and read previous threads for retrofits. One member had problems and discovered there were two different control units.

Yeah I've been reading the previous threads but obviously have not gone far enough back.

I'll keep searching. Last thing I want to do is install it and not have it working.

Mine worked OK without a testbook session. In fact I had it working in the kitchen before I fitted, so it didn't even need a car, let alone a testbook.
