Just had some rear parking sensors fitted.

Installer went through the offside rear light

cluster to attach wiring, and threaded through

the wiring grommet.

He did not take off rear bumper but marked

position of holes to be drilled in bumper &

drilled through.

The sound device is fitted at the rear of the upper

seatbelt mount and cannot be seen. The sound

come though the rear seat belt opening.

asathorny,

I used this firm:

http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/?source=gpsg&gclid=CIz9ztuJjakCFQNP4QoddmU1kA

Dolphin Audio Reverse Parking Sensors - £49.99 inc VAT
Supplied & Fitted Including Choice of Colours £139.98
Four Recess Sensors With Warning Buzzer
+ £4.99 P & P.

Customer i30 fitment:

http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/customer_installation_hyundai_i30.asp


I believe the franchised Hyundai dealer wanted about £230  factory fitted.

==================================

I am not sure how the fitter got the cabling through to the top part of the bumper,

as you cannot get underneath, so he must have had something to go along & inside the top part of the bumper

& attach wiring to the sensors, may be a piece of wire or something similar.

( I hope this makes sense) Unfortunately, I wasn't there when he did this process.

If  so I would have taken some photo's. I don't know he got the sound device behind the rear seat belt either.

I suppose the fitter wanted to protect his livelihood.

Yes, there are other firms who do this, and in my area, I would

have had to travel about 20 mile round trip to a garage to have

then fitted at the same price. (The fitter came to my home to do the job)

 (I have noticed that I have included

the product and price-does this breach the forum rules?)

Looking at the rear lights, it is very near to the rear seat belt, and

where the sound device is fitted.

So this may not be such a problem.
