I have just retired and purchased a ford executive driven vehicle with only 7000 kms. It has been optioned with drivers assist pack, design pack, panoramic roof and is desert island blue in colour.
Whilst it has rear parking sensors it does not have front ones and as my wife will also be driving and is vertically challenged ( a short ****) I think this final addition would be worthwhile. I know the front sensors are part of an option pack on the titanium but not available as an option on any other model. My question is....does the drivers assist pack on an st-line use the same wiring loom up front as a titanium with front parking sensors? Can I Retrovit genuine ford parts so it will integrate with the sync 3 screen? If I cannot, I am looking at the fitment of a ParkPro front only system and would appreciate any reviews on their units. Many thanks for forthcoming help. Barry. |

My understanding is that front parking sensors in the Titanium work in conjunction with the Active Park-Assist pack, and as park-assist is not an option in lesser models, front parking sensors are not available in these cars. The driver assist pack contains Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross Traffic Alert & Active Braking,
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go. I think the wiring might be missing as a consequence. But that would be the least of worries as there would be some reprogramming required to accomodate the front sensors. As for adding non-original parking sensors, you'd have to consider whether the system would be compatible with the ST-Line's set up. When it comes to tacking on extra electronics to a car already well endowed with its own set-up, I'd advise to tread carefully. |

I did a little research. In the UK, front sensors are available on the ST-Line X model. So, you might want to see if they could be retro-fitted.

Thank you for your replies.
When I spoke to the dealership I also learned that the euro spec cars get most of the items Australian models have to option eg..front parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring. All euro models are apparently built with fully kitted looms and have very little available left to actually option up and if they do the wiring is already there...elect seats with heaters etc.etc. Should have imported a euro st-line.... |
