Retro fitting front and rear parking sensors

[DavidStalbridge]

I have a Mk 3 SLK, which I purchased recently and I would like to retro fit front and rear parking sensors, has anyone done this, what did you use and was it easy to do, I have looked on line and I have seen some rear sensors with wireless connection between control modual and interior LED display, can any one help

If you don't mind a drive to Surrey and want original sensors coded to the car then try :https://www.commandonline.co.uk/https://www.commandonline.co.uk/about-our-site.html

Problem with wired rear sensors on the SLK is getting the wiring past the complicated boot hinge mechanism - thankfully my SLK has them from new, same applies to a reversing camera which is why I did not get one fitted - pity, as I really like the one comand.co.uk fitt4ed to my S204.

I'd stay clear of the wireless ones, I've known them to be unreliable.

Thanks for that info, I was only going for wireless to avoid difficult wiring runs, although I can only find rear sensors wireless and I do need front and rear. I will follow the other threads and see what I can come up with

Yes I had them on my Mk 2 280. also on my CLS shooting break, plus front and rear cameras and I really miss them on my Mk 3, even though I did manage to back into the wall backing of my drive, this was because I had the music up too loud and the low volume of the transmitter at the rear, or just bad driving.

Yes just had a quick look at their site, rather expensive at about £1000.00, although I have priced up all the necessary merc parts and that was about the price I arrived at, so it will be cheaper to suffer a few scratches and get them repaired before I sell the car, this was the reason that i was looking for retro fit kits. Thanks for your interest
