Advice please. 2005 Facelift 1.8 petrol. Thinking of upgrading rear bumper to one with parking sensors, so what else do I need other than the bumper/sensors itself. Believe I would need Parking sensor control module PDC ECU YWC500142 & Parking Sensor Button Switch & Housing. Is there anything else I need to get (any specific wiring looms etc.) or check what cabling is where.......or if it is actually present? Any help appreciated.

It quite involved, as the wiring isn't normally there, and the ECU is often expensive and not very reliable, the switch on the dash is expensive too.
Buy an aftermarket kit for under £10 for everything you need.

When my PDC went wrong I fitted an aftermarket kit, as it was cheaper than a second hand ECU.

Hello,

i would recommend the genuine parts: wiring loom , sensors, ECU, dash button and warning buzzer.
