How To: Fit aftermarket Reverse Sensors

[mart]

Hi Mart,

I just wired mine to the reverse feed in the boot lid, and it does work perfectly, i didnt use CANBUS specific sensors, just some cheap ones of ebay  - these are the same

I sprayed them myself, got a local paint shop to make me an aerosol can with the exact match using the colour code from the label on door pillar. I sprayed a quick coat of grey primer first followed by 2 coats of the red and then a coat of clear lacquer - just light coats will do the trick and will not affect the way the sensors operate.

Hope that helps pal

That's the same type of parking sensors I have been looking at (curved inwards) don't look as big then I think.
What year is your Astra and what version e.g. SE, SRI etc.
I will take the reverse light bulb out to make sure it doesn't come up with anything on the dash to say the bulb is gone. That way I will know that the reverse light is not on the can-bus system if there is one or not.
Does the bumper fit back on OK, no gaps etc.
Any other tips or trick to help with this job
