Howdy,

I read in another section of CL, that our cars have all the wiring for the Parking Assist and that by adding the six sensors, the Computer, the Buzzer and the clips the system should just work...

Anyone here tried it?

$1,481.17 in parts, but it's cheaper than buying a new car.

 

Hmm ... interesting. I didn't know that!

Do you have a link to where you read it? I'd love to read up on it.

 

Some have noted when taking off the front bumper, that there were additional empty plug sockets hanging out. This is assumed to be the wiring harness for the parking sensors.

I took off my bumper too and see how they were connected, and I didn't see empty sockets on mine. So I can't 100% confirm this. Also you would need new bumpers with parking sensor cutouts, unless you want to cut your old bumpers. They are currently $1000+ painted/shipped for both, on Sewell after clublexus discount.

I got the computer already, and hoping for the sensors any day now. I have a diagram of where the holes go, but his post also says the locations are marked on the back of the bumper...

I'll keep you posted. Here's a PDF for the dealer installed kit from Lexus I don't think it's available anymore, and I really want the system interfaced so it will warn me if there is something too close to the back to put the top down.

Lexus Dealer Installed Parking Assist Manual

I'm going to print out the templates included in the PDF and compare to a ISX50C on the dealer's lot.

 

I love to cut holes in cars.

 

Piece of advice: Just because your car has parking sensors and/or backup camera to help you park safely in tight places, doesn't mean the other cars parked in your front or rear have them also... Meaning that you may not bump your/other cars but they will bump you! I learned that the hard way on my old car, now I park away from others so the sensors are unnecessary.

 

I was just reading those threads yesterday. Maybe I'll do this one day.

 

Keep us updated on this...I would definitely pay for the parts and install this myself if it's a fairly easily thing to do.

 

Wasn't 164287356 doing to his RX not IS? So it's not 100% certain our cars are already pre-wired.

 

a friend of mine is trying also.

 

Yes he was. I'll let you know if I find the wires there... Worst case I'll wire everything up and see if the navi will see the change.

Wish me luck

are you trying to put this on an ISC? i have an IS350C w/ factory park assist.. let me know if you need any help locating anything.

 

If you end up doing it, post a write up!!! lol

 

Wishing you luck Jeff.

 

yes i would also be interested, I did take what someone said up top about others you park around not having park assist. So you are just always better off parking at the easiest place.
