yes Andrewmsteve has put a third party set in his tourer very impressive it looked as well with the led display above his mirror

only thing to consider with a third party version can you turn them off if towing a trailor?

the rover sensors automatically sense when something is plugged into the trailer socket, and turn them off.

those cunning clever boffins

be prepared though as far as i'm aware the sensors have to be set up and adjusted for sensitivity using test book by the dealers

i had new sensor computer fitted under warranty (£350 item cost) and the receipt included a testbook charge

Only thing on Testbook is to confirm the car "sees" it

as for the cost of the PDC unit you don't want to look here then, do you, sorry :(
