I have been making enquiries and intend to retro-fit OEM Park Assist (reversing sensors).
I have priced the parts which are reasonable (for Volvo), however i am aware that on a 2005 up, like mine it is integrated via (Canbus) to enable it to mute the radio.
This requires a software download to be installed in the car for it all to function, no software, no worky....
I contacted the local dealer who quoted a staggering £76.00 to do this.
I didn't see that one coming, I am going to contact an independant specialist who has VIDA and get a second quote.
Has anyone previously retro-fitted reverse sensors and is that quote reasonable? It seems excessive considering i am doing all the donkey work.
I would not consider any other systems, if i do it it will be genuine parts/system or not at all.
