Hi guys,

I'm looking at installing some rear parking sensors my Astra, but I'm unsure of the difference between OEM ones or just the cheap ones from eBay? What's the difference? Also how will I go about getting colour coded ones? I don't want the button on my centre console either- I don't need to have it, do I?


I've found the OEM part numbers too, they are;

93160432 - Park Pilot sensor
93173965 - Cable System
93188392 - Bracket Kit
93183727 - Car Kit

I don't know exactly what the button on the dash is for when you have the original Park Pilot system... but you'll pay loads to retrofit that system...

I've fitted a cheap set that are the same as eBay. I painted them myself, just lightly sand them to key the surface, light coat of primer, paint and lacquer. The hardest part is drilling the bumper. Really squeaky bum time, but on the H, they have marked the locations on the inside of the bumper to make it easier (Y)

The dash button turns the system off for towing iirc
