"Genuine" means more than one thing now!?

Jordan Apex · 24th April 2014, 19:27

I bought a set of parking sensors from ebay advertised as genuine, looked like a different set uo to the ones I have but don't have wiring for, so I bought them for more than I paid for my other genuine ones.
They arrived today and alas they're not actually genuine, they are x vision and they don't have the "oe fit" he described! Talk about getting your hopes up! Messaged him for a refund, no doubt that I will get it, studied these situations for long enough

Oh and does anyone know of any sets that fit inside the oem holders as the genuine ones do?

I did wonder when you mentioned this the other day. OE have to have a direct feed to the IPK. If you don't have the connection behind the fuel filler cap behind the carpet in the boot, retrofit is a no go..

Yes I thought so until I saw these, now I want them as they are on display but do not work, unless you wanna swap bumpers as no one has a good one

Another option is to strip out the loom from a donor car, it can be done, just depends on how much or do you really want parking sensors.
