Tato Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hello everybody Could you give me some recommendations about parking sensors? Which ones should I buy? I just want something simple and efficient :) Any advice? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmbrown91 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi is it a mk7 you have? If so you'll want to get the Xvision Parking Sensors - these are the ford recommended aftermarket parking sensors for the mk7. The part numbers for them are as follows: Rear: 1420032 Front: 1420038 You may be able to find them on eBay for around £100. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londongirl8 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I've ordered my Fiesta few days ago, so I believe it's mk7. I take it you didn't want the city pack option? The electric folding mirrors do come in handy - but it's a personal choice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tato Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I take it you didn't want the city pack option? The electric folding mirrors do come in handy - but it's a personal choice..... I've chosen the Sport package, and the sensors can't be added on it, at least where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londongirl8 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I've chosen the Sport package, and the sensors can't be added on it, at least where I live. Ah...yes. The bumper is different on the Sport package so I guess that's why it doesn't come with the sensors. Did you go for frozen white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did go for the frozen white. P.S. The car from the avatar is not mine. I will get it sometime towards the end of May, or earlier :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told me the same, that I might get it faster. To be honest I am really excited about it because it is my first car, as I already mentioned in another topic. By the way, I would have liked to get the same radio (Sony) as you have but they don't have it here, unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a MK2 Fiesta - no electric windows, bluetooth or parking sensors back then :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFord Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I added the Xvision sensors to my new Fiesta. Ford wanted £350 for them, but you can get them fitted and colour coded for £209.99 for the rear sensors. http://www.fordretailonline.co.uk/ford-owner/accessories/ford-fiesta_08on.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antman99 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 To be honest, iv always fitted to my 3 cars the cheap £15-30 ones on eBay, some people like to moan about them but if you do them yourself, which isn't hard on the Mk7 you save a small fortune. and although iv never owned Ford ones my girlfriend has a Micra and the factory fit/ dealer fit ones are crap they always end up beeping when theres nothing behind and many times they haven't beeped when there is a clear obstacle when my cheapo ones pick it up fine.
