You mean that little stalk on the left side of the steering wheel that makes the blinker's turn on when you pull into a parking spot?

Yeah, mine has that.

I found the Parking sensors on E-bay.
I was wondering if anybody has added them?
How difficult is it?
Where does the display mount?
Does it void any warranties if it's added?

I have a few neighbors that like to walk with there heads down and not look for cars backing out of the drive ways. I know it’s my responicibility but it’s one of my biggest fears, hitting somebody.
I have a fairly steep driveway and I look both ways as I back up. I usually don’t see anybody, but as soon as I get to the street there is somebody standing on the sidewalk staring at me as if I tried to run them over. I hate that feeling because I know I looked but didn’t see them.

On the 2003 Aristo brochure it's an option so that would make it OEM.

Yeah I am the dude with the v300. It's on my car. Check out the gallery for pictures. If your car doesn't originally have one, I would think it's very hard to retrofit one. My car beeps as I back towards a wall and when i get closer the beeping gets closer together until it becomes one long beep and then you know you are very very close to the wall. Pretty nifty feature....

I found a pic of the system and it looks like it plugs right in. I will try to post a pic later.
