After market parking sensors

[BH1983]

Hi guys,

I've just bought an 2017 A3 Saloon Black Edition. It came with all the mod cons.......except parking sensors! So I need to look at getting some fitted.

I've had a quote from one company that's £499 for front and rear but they've said it won't be connected to the MMI system, it will just be a buzzer and there would be a switch to activate the fronts.

My question is; is it possible to have after market sensors that work with the MMI i.e. it comes up on the screen and shows you how close you are, and do I have to have a switch to activate the front ones??

Can anyone recommend any companies in the midlands that do fitting?

Thanks!

My car has no front sensors and when I was looking for retrofitting I found this website. Haven't used it but it looks like they fit genuine components.

I personally would save some money and fit OEM sensors so everything works as it should, without compatibility issues.

I had them fit a reverse camera a few years back they came out, fitted and programmed it in the the MMI system. Can’t fault it.

Their prices look great, this other place wanted £499 for front and rear not plugged into the MMI and another £499 for a camera! It look like they're charging about £800 and it's plugged into the MMI! Thanks for the link!

No problem at all. I wanted to use them but found it's way cheaper in my home country so I will do it once I'm back home for holidays.
You can post the outcome if you decide to go ahead with them, I'm curious about the final results.
