Friends: 0 |  VERY cool parking assist mod Had a brief thread on this a while back, but can't find it.. At any rate, if you have a backup camera, this is a device that installs between the rear camera and your head unit (nav). When you backup, it show the picture (as before, but also superimposes the distance to "target". The sensors are mounted into the bumper, and then you wire it... Not a mod for the squeamish - but likely one of the most useful mods available. When I replaced my stereo, I got these for around $50 (set of 4 sensors, wire, video cable, converter box). Frenchie got me this doc (again thanks to him) This is called Toyota Parking Assist (TPA) - Great doc too! Of course, you have to find parking sensors that match your paint - I got silver and they match perfectly... Enjoy  Last edited by rrolff; 09-27-2009 at 02:53 PM. |

Friends: 0 | Re: VERY cool parking assist mod Well - had another thread, guess now they have merged - here's some more... A pick of the "system" - the link shows the installation. I think the Toyota doc is much better - shows placement, and shows how to remove the bumper for proper fitting... Previous thread: This plugs between your camera, and Nav. It will give you the distance superimposed on the camera display. The attached picture shows the wiring to the head unit, and this link (¡¾Í¼¡¿¸ø¸Õ¸Õ°²×°µ¹³µÀ״´øʹÓÃЧ¹ûŶ£¡_½ð¸Õ¾ãÀÖ² ¿_Æû³µÖ®¼Ò) shows some of the scariest stuff you can think of doing to your Prius  All in all, may be a great $50 mod (???)... While the link has a stand alone system (with its own display), the picture attached shows a different unit - which plugs inline (clean install). |
