Having front parking sensors fitted

[TomcatUK]

I have recently purchased a 2017(September) IS300h Executive. It has rear parking sensors and rear boot camera fitted as standard.

I would like to have front parking sensors fitted that apart from “beeping” incorporate a visual display on the multi-information display. I have been told by my local Lexus dealer that if front parking sensors are fitted retrospectively, it is only possible to have the “beep” and not possible to incorporate a visual element.

Wondering if anyone has had front parking sensors fitted after purchasing and what their experience has been....

Thanks in anticipation.

It seems the sensor ECU is the same part for models with and without front sensors but it is unlikely that the wiring is in place.

99% of the time it is impossible/cost prohibitive to retro-fit factory equipment in any Toyota/Lexus vehicle. The dealer will fit a aftermarket system, hence it won't link into the display.

Thanks for the info.....

here is a screen shot of a company i have used in the past

there front sensors are canbus compatible so they will turn

themselves on & off when they are needed

£205 for supply & fit with canbus interface
