Default Need parking sensor location mesurements

Hello,
finally I slowly accumulated all parts for parking aid installation, but I need where exactly located all these sensors (front and back). Can somebody, who has these sensors measure all distances and provide it in here. I will be greatly appreciated.
And if anyone needed part list for 2009 IS250 awd ML for this project-let me know. After all project will be done-I will provide completed write up.
Thank You.

Wish I could help but I don't have parking sensors.
Perhaps a stop at a lexus dealership and take a measurement there. If they're nice enough to let you that is.

I had a BMW with parking sensors and loved them, way better than just a reverse camera. Where did you get all the parts from? and is this an easy mod to do? been trying to figure out if it was possible to even get them installed if the car didn't come with them.

At least on my 2011, the markings for the sensor holes were printed on the inside of the bumper cover, so it should be pretty easy to know where they are supposed to go.

Hello,
Module I got from e-bay with the best offer $50 shipped. You will find them there, just ask for better price, sellers willing to step down on price. And sensors I got from e-bay as well seller- can not find now his name at the moment, but if you are really interesting PM me and I will dig his link out.
Send him a message with offer that you will buy six sensors without e-bay. He will send you an invoice to your Pay-pal and you will get $35 deal per sensor!!!
So, basically now you have all major parts. Oh yes, and harness, I bought new from the dealer, front was $11 and rear $38 +TAX. And retainers from the e-bay few $ per all six. Total I have right now for parts $287.50

Module installation is "plug and play" There is harness on top of the left wheel (from inside) under linings accessible in 10 minutes removing few plastic clips and bolting on module with two bolts. After you will plug in module-you will have additional options on your navigation screen menu and green parking cone in your dash, which light up when you are under 10mi/h or something. If you need additional information with part numbers look for my other thread where I started. And after final touch will be done, I will post pictures with DIY.

Hmmm, interesting idea. I hope on 2009 IS 250 will be same with markings. I have to check this thing.
Is anybody had these markings on 2009 IS 250 ? Can someone who taking bumper cover on 2009 or similar year can verify?

This is whole manual from Lexus in .pdf for installation/addition parking sensors, but this is non OEM in this one for four sensors in front and outside sensors are not in corners, as it should be In the back - same story. But if someone needs this information-please use it!
And I am still looking for OEM hole locations, and there is no club members willing to sacrifice few minutes of happy time with measuring tape
Well, I will probably go to the dealer and see if they got at least one car with sensors ( seems like it is not very popular option) on the lot and not going to throw me out from there
