Hi, has anyone retro fitted both Front and Rear PDC'S, using genuine land Rover parts, if so can you tell me what was involved.
Many Thanks.

It's possible but can imagine quite costly/involved to do this.

Wex was doing this project a little while ago but not sure how he got on with it.

Me , I purchased the LR bezels from TLO and bought the parking sensors / kit from the link below for £50 Thumbs Up

That certainly sounds like the cheaper option, which I like a lot! the only thing is Like yourself I have just fitted a new bumper which has Fogs. Pdc's and headlight Wash so thats why I was thinking of sticking with genuine LR parts. Do you think that I could use the Pdc already in the bumper and wire them to an aftermarket system Question
Thanks Thumbs Up

I looked at using the LR sensors with the aftermarket system and couldn't get it to work at all.

The wiring of the sensors are completely different.

Spent many hours on it and finally gave up so used the aftermarket sensors in the LR bezels.
They fit in well but need gluing in as locating lugs are different Thumbs Up
