*accidently deleted the prior thread* but updated with the front install

my fiancé and I recently purchases a 2015 Lexus IS350 F-Sport. She wanted front and rear parking sensor, but it wasn't a factory option. I used to be a Car Audio Installer for 13+ years before becoming a Paint Protection Film Installer.

I hated how must parking sensor stick out and didn't look factory at all....

I order the factory 212 paint from touchupdirect.com, and went on looking for front and rear sensors..

I went back to the lexus dealership found a non-f-sport and made a template of the location of the factory sensors.

I found some flush mount sensors by Rydeen...




The kit allows output to a video screen, showing distance and flashes left or right

I ordered two other kits for the front, but that will be done later....there is two areas in the grill where it looks like it was made for parking sensors...(that will be in another post)


I had to find the factory wires for the factory camera and wired in the "brain" of the parking sensor. Went and painted the sensors with the paint I orderd




layed the template of the location of the factory sensor, and drilled the holes out of the bumper and removed the rear bumper, because the sensor installs from the back of the bumper











After I was done with that, I installed the rear sensors













and here how it outputs to the factory screen......it's not like the factory but, I rather have the distance showing how far I am versus flashing colors.......







Didn't have time to finish the install of the front sensor or the ESCORT 9500ci...they'll probably done next weekend!


here's some updates

here's how it looks before



using the clearbra as a template to get the factory location of the sensor from a NON-F-Sport



Hole Drilled



Sensor Installed (don't mind the white around the sensor, bumper was XPEL prior to install)



Here's what the opposite side looks like

really nice work! if you don't mind me asking, how much would the system be after all is said and done?

lo0nY

which system? the parking sensors, was roughly $300 my cost...had to buy three kits. first kit was just for the rear, and the other two kits were made into one, bc of the flush mount and the front mount of the sensors

nice work. subscribed.

always wanted to add parking sensors. Does the car not have the parking sensor connector? i know some vehicles the wires are there just not installed.

$300 your cost? so that probs means that it'll be in the $400 msrp? so the fronts need 2 kits? damn...I wish it was just available option when we buy them! either way, very clean install my friend. looks like it came from the plant. if you're every in norcal, hit me up! haha

Which 360 camera kit did you purchase?

lo0nY

I had the bumpers taking off, and didn't see any connectors.

lo0nY

it's roughly $600 retail. front sensor need two because I wanted to use the flush mount for the sides and use a front mount in the center......you can buy just one kit, but I wanted the "factory look"

excellent install but which kit did you use for the front, my car is lowered and dont want to scrape my lower front bumper .....what kind of camera came with the 360...... some of the parking assist kits have for a monitor output.....don't know if you installed front camera or not and if so where did you mount it........thanx for your help

OFFICIALis

Nice job , wish I had the ***** to do this

The kit comes with just generic cameras nothing fancy. It comes with four cameras including front, back and two sides. If you already have backup cam I'm not sure how this kit works. You'd probably have to splice existing wires. I have a front camera which hooks up to A/V port just like you want to avoid bumper scrape.

lo0nY

the rear sensor I installed has the monitor output, which flashes arrows on the right or left, also showing the distance.

I have the same for the front, just waiting to install the 360 box and run wires to the mirrors.

on the front camera, I'm trying to modify the factory lexus emblem.....looking to make something "factory"

neoogeoo

which model was it the bl412 or bl422 for the parking sensor, I want to intall them in the front and if possible connect a camera, both of these units come with video output...... looking at the rydeen website i cant the difference between the kits they seem to be the same.....
