If i was to buy a rear bumper for my car from the wreckers and they new bumper has parkin sensors where as i never had parking sensors before, would i need to buy anything else to wire it all up?

Yeah definitely get them.. they are a very handy feature to have.. you barely have to look when reversing haha... my CL9 has front and rear sensors.
Sorry to hijack thread but i didn't really wanna create another one similar to this?
i'm buying a 06 euro soon and i was wondering if i get one with parking sensors would that be pointless as i'm thinking of buying the modulo rear bumper (is it the whole bumper or just the bottom lip? unsure :S) from honda to put on? or should i just buy one without sensors, get the bumper and install sensors from honda? does anyone know the cost of this?
i just don't wanna look too hard for parking sensors if i'm just ripping it off in a few weeks/ getting one without sensors and regretting it because sensors are expensive from honda?
no one?
if the modulo bumper already has the reverse sensor pre wired then no point looking for a model with sensors
if the modulo bumper doesnt have the sensor wired up, then adding one down the track wont be any issue (not sure if need to color code those sensors and if they will be obvious on a new bumper)
if the sensors are in place with just a clip, then i see no reason why you cannot use the existing sensors onto the new bumper.
im not too familar with sensor installation, as the vehicles i own either have them stock, or not installed at all. unsure of cost. maybe give honda a ring and see how much they charge.
my oem sensors are playing up...
sometimes it gives me the flat line beep when there nothing back there...
and sometimes it works perfectly... hahah
can stuff from inside the boot set it off?
unlikely it will set it off. im thinking more of a dodgy connector shorting something, or a dirty sensor (if you havent already cleaned it - light spray with water and maybe a soft toothbrush to lift the crap from inbetween the gaps)
