Has anyone done a retrofit on the front parking sensors? I'm trying to get wiring (for hold assist) from the passenger footwell into the engine bay but can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I'm wanting to fit auto boot opening on my 3 door PFL A3. Anyone have any part numbers or links to where they bought the parts TIA
