Parking Sensors - no visual display

[DJN_83]

I've just bought a 2010 S-Max Titanium and noticed that the parking sensors work (audibly) but there isn't any display on the Convers + dashboard. Should there be? It would certainly be useful to know where the obstacles I've got close to is as it beeps away at me.

The car has an aftermarket stereo, so the convers + only has trip and settings displayed, so I'm wondering if maybe there's been a fitting error of the radio. 

Any helpful suggestions greatly appreciated.

Have you front Sensors too??? AFIAK the visual part is only there when you have front & rear sensors

 

See here One poster mentions an aftermarket stereo means he's lost some funtionality ion the Convers+ after install

Thanks @volts 

I do have front sensors. A few people have told me there is no visual display on the 2010 model, only audible beeps with the front sensors having a higher pitched tone than the rear sensors. 

I think this is something I'm just going to have to get used to. However, I'm not liking the aftermarket stereo I have (too basic) so I'm now looking at options that will at a minimum work with steering wheel controls, and if possible, show up on the convers+ display.

Have you tried asking around the SMax Owners club http://www.smaxownersclub.com/forum/forum.php.

Many members there have older SMaxs so will be able to answer your query more accurately. Make sure you come back here though

Hey all, did this ever get an answer?  Interested in knowing if there's a way to add the visual display for the parking sensors as the different audible beeps are ok but as the OP says, it would be good to know which one it was and how far away.

Cheers,

Andy.
