Reversing Aids

[fgvic]

Where can the sensors be fitted on the bumper? Because the guy at autobarn was positive it couldn't be done on the fg

Don't know about FG but I put some sensors in my BF. Kit cost $60NZD posted to me and I installed them myself, no visual just beeps to tell you distance and I can turn it off for trailer etc.

Fitted them in the bumper in the strip above the number plate and obviously same position at the other side.

Here's a pic,

I have four sensors on my FG and they work fine.

These are just standard type, beep faster as you get closer.

Downside is that reversing with the tailgate down just means a constant beep from the sensors which is mildly irritating.

Apologies if this photo is not real clear, I cropped it with my phone from a larger one.

Awesome! Cheers for the pics guys, I'll go back in there today and see if I can have them fitted in the same spot!

I know this is an old topic but Boganspeed, do you remember where you bought the sensors from and got them installed? Am tossing up between the sensors or camera, but have been researching and from my understanding ford has to enable a setting or something and seems like it will be a huge mess around.

Mate, the Ford stealer had them fitted before I picked the car up.

I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue for a competent shop.

Hi guys I'm having some trouble finding information about getting a reverse camera installed on my 2012 xr6 fg mkii ute. It has the colour ICC screen and was hoping it could get wired through that but even a guy at ford said on the phone that they didn't think it could be done, rather I would have to get one that displays through my rear view mirror which I don't really want.

So does anyone have any information about if it can actually be done and any places that install them into the ICC? I'm in Brisbane so places in my area would be ideal. Thanks.

If you go and have a talk to the guys at Bryan Byrt Ford, Mt Gravatt. They can help you. They have a technician that installs the reversing cameras and he can wire it through the colour ICC screen.
