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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Edited 21/11/13 07:42 AM by sandro_col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a technician that installs the reversing cameras and he can wire it through the colour ICC screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
