PaulB1803 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ok, here we go with the pics at last. I also put a 3 way 12v socket adapter in the dash to tidy the aux cable and 2 charging cables. these were routed up through the storage box on top of the dash. The 3 way was routed by tapping in to the 12v near gearstick and wire hidden into dash. much neater imo than cables everywhere. I now use an old android phone with memory card for music along with connecting to my current phones wifi hotspot to allow streaming currently from TuneIn radio app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadsabeer Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've just bought the cisbo kit with the buzzer. What is best to use instead of scotchlocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Nice pics Paul looks great and colour match is good too:) I've just bought the cisbo kit with the buzzer. What is best to use instead of scotchlocks? You could solder and shrink wrap the joints if you don't like scotchlocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc88 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Here are some with just the buzzer http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5d31662e97 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4ce9ce95d6 http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35a53e71ef Another awesome guide Preee! Im seriously considering doing this (not that i cant park.. ) With the one's you've shown, do you know where you'd mount the buzzer? does anyone know if its mounted in the boot, and is loud enough to be heard in the front, say over a little music? Thanks awesome awe-inspiring people. gc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 They usually mount in the boot unless like me you carry dogs then they tend to mount it in the A or B pillar. They are pretty loud and I had to mute mine down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 The ford Default buzzer is mounted O/S rear behind the panel , thats as good a place as any it will echo in there unless you have a sub banging away :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a true ford enthusiast you wouldnt care about the football, ive gone out to the car with no shoes on just my socks with an inch of snow on the ground to get on my knees and check for footwell light sockets.

tyler s Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 i like the look of the 18mm sensors,should fit ok with no angle adjustment on them,18mm or 22mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 TBH you're probably better off getting ones with a bit of adjustment so you can tune out kerbs and towbars etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSM Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Just ordered myself a set (buzzer only) off eBay. I'm fitting them to a mk2 though and I've just checked the bumper - no guide holes marked out! Anybody have any suggestions for how to measure it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 On a Mk2 the black trim at the top of the bumper has markings on the inside however I was advised by the place that fitted my sensors to have them lower as aftermarket ones scan at a flatter zone than Ford ones. Photos to follow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos to follow..... I did see those (I think), but from what I seen there were only 3? One bang in the middle and two at either side. I might just be foaming though, I'll double check that too. Pics would be a lovely treat, Clive :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Right, had a quick recce of the car, Sensors are exactly 3cm from below the bottom edge of the black trim to the centre of the sensor face and dead in line with the Ford sensor position. If you take off the black trim and look at the back the sensor positions will be obvious. Measure up and calculate the positions for the holes from centre point of the trim and then transfer the measurements to the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome mate, just to add that when you remove the black trim thare are also corresponding holes on the bumper behind where the rear of the sensors would sit with a OEM Ford install. This may help you get the spacing between the sensors more accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
