iantt Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Bought 2nd hand auto headlamp switch off eBay cheap, then new rain sensor, retaining clip,headlining wiring harness for titanium model. then just a case of getting it switched on via ford diagnostics. also fitted x vision rear parking sensors with x vision ford interface module and got that switched on at same time so parking sensors intergrate with radio display as if oem sensors , showing sensor display and sounder comes through Speakers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssd1984 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Did it really worked for you?! I have rear fitted xvision too and wanted to have it on the audiodisplay, and now ford(in denmark) can do it for £65, they got my car for 5 hours, and couldnt make it worked!! :-(!

iantt Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yeh, worked straight away, which xvision sensors you have?are they the flush fit or semi flush fit, part number on xvision module, should be located behind rear side trims which ever side the wires run in to car, also check if the oem multiplug is in same location, if its not there , then the interface module needs wiring diferentely thenits just needs switching on in central car configuration on ford diagnostics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Mine just was simple, plugged xvision module to the xvision /ford interface module in the boot, then that module plugged into oem multiplug in boot, that was it ,5 mins , then in cetral car config enabled rear parking assist in options.

Hi Ian! Sorry to revive an old post but do you have a picture of your installation or at least the part numbers of the xvision module and interface? I have a chinese aftermarket parking sensor with external display and I'd like to use the radio display like you did it! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodoris85 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy new year to all. @iantt so you only used the focccus software, right? Was these two the only options? Did you also had to remove the blacked area behind the rain sensor? You need the window "crystal clear"? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you need to scrape the blackened area completely clear for the rain sensor to function correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worrying not to mess up with the glass itself if I use a precision cutter or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodoris85 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Just did it with a precision cutter. the wipers worked once when I dripped some water. Then I put back the cover of the rain sensor and it started working in the intermittent mode. Most likely it is the connector as I don't have the original one, I made one myself, however connector seems to be steady. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yeah, sounds like the connector isn't quite right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodoris85 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Due to the fact that I made the cable myself, I only needed to replace the connector. So, I got this connector, and sensor works great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g1zm0 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Have you got a guide to parts for this and how to Install . I want to pimp my zetec up and fit a dimming rear mirror. Getting new windscreen fitted so could get it with sensor hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
