That actually looks quite good, however its rear fitting only which to be honest is the wrong end to be fitting sensors as far as the Zed is concerned! They do all sorts of other ones though including cameras. If you search on google/bing for electromagnetic parking sensors the are some for the fro...

I've come across this kit for £50.00 which uses an electromagnetic sensor, this fits inside a plastic bumper and needs no holes drilling.

I gave my local dealer a call and asked about OBD2 and got a sort of helpful answer. If you have the OBD connector under the steering column only and no round connector in the engine bay, then it is fully OBD2 compliant, and you will get all faulty codes and info etc. If you have both, then it MAY n...
