How to fit rear parking sensors for less than £20

How to Fit rear parking sensors for less than £20. This step by step guide shows how colour matched reversing sensors can be fitted cheaply and easily to a car. Rear parking sensors are easy to fit with a little basic DIY knowledge. This video shows reverse parking sensors being a Ford Fiesta and to a Toyota Yaris but the method used can be applied to any vehicle.

Both kits were identical apart from the outer packaging.

You explained in a way that none can explain better than this

I'll be truthful Ted, i really need a neighbour like you! I'm considering buying similar set but no visual aid, just the audio, for my 2003 Honda Civic but my mechanic ignored my text asking if he could fit them, I'd love them but struggling to find an trustworthy person who'd be experienced and confident to fit them. Watching you do it so calmly is encouraging but I'm no good with the electrical side. I'll probably just keep sticking me head out or asking a complete stranger to bang on the rear window when I'm very close! Great vid mate!

Thank you so much for making this video, Ted! It's folks like you that make the world go round.

the point, clear and was very helpful, its made me confident to take on the task. Much appreciated!

[slinkydonkey]

You make it look very easy I think I would struggle with the soldering!

[DaveJenkins]

There’s actually a gromit in the boot floor (fiesta) just where you’ve pulled the carpet back exactly for this reason 👍

[sadoonu]

one of the most useful video on the topic subject .. thank you Sir.

[kirkdarling]

No, we Yanks also call those "bumpers." The "fenders" are the areas of the car body surrounding the wheels. Good video.

[simonandthelyricalpoets]

Great video. I wonder if these kits would be suitable for a Renault Traffic van?

[dondada]

Would installing rear parking sensors overload the reverse circuit, considering that some vehicles already have a backup camera or an aftermarket camera installed?

I’m wondering how you managed to solder that thing in Fiesta… I’m trying in high temperatures and the solder works, but it looks ugly and I’m afraid it’ll come off on a first bump.
It’s a great video overall!

[GiggleBytes]

Great priced units, but it looks a little bit too much effort to me, I'll just continue to have my wife hang her head out of the back window making 'beeping' noises that progressively get louder and louder as my rear end heads for the lamp post or walls. Great video all the same sir :)

Hi Ted How they sensors holding up after a year?

[eimdeima]

I am struggling to identify the wires. Would the earth/ground not be the yellow and green wire on the back of the lights? Tia

[AKNoFFicial]

So hows it going so far then ?...is the minimum distance enough before the continuous beeping that indicates you are very close ?....how much ia that diatance?

[MrRawUK]

I get confused on the splitting the rear power from the light lol. Solder? :(

[sherwinfernandes]

Is the connection the same for a Ford focus a well

If you need parking sensors on a Yaris or fiesta you need to hand in your licence, I’ve an old quashqai for almost 4 years and the parking sensors stopped working after fortnight after purchase so I’ve used my built in parking sensors since, my brain and eyes they never failed me yet.
