Errr, cos they weren't fitted with any, in the US market, don't know about elsewhere ?
Any parking sensors here will be aftermarket, so I don't think there will be a whole lot of info on here................you may get lucky .............

Like I say, they weren't fitted to the US cars..............at least the ones I have dealt with, so I wouldn't know where to start.
If you could post a picture of them, maybe someone on here has come across them before.............

"Cambs" does not tell us where you are - tell us what city and country you are in and we can probably be more help.

There is a REASON for the "Location" on your profile.

As a former resident of the Uk, I would say he's in Cambridgeshire in England.
I do agree about being more specific though. Can't say I've seen parking sensors on any Xfire, anyone know different ?

I have learned to not speak to Euro-Crossfires, I refer people to Mo Perry or others over there.

If he's in the UK, I can ask Mo on Facebook.

If he's in the USA - I KNOW he has no such sensors.

I agree he is in England, Cambridgeshire, his handle is Eng1, works for me. But I came from over there, Hertfordshire. I fished in the Cam river once.

The parking sensors were an option that was dealer installed in the US and Canada if you wanted them.

Pretty sure that's where he is from................I'm sure he'll confirm.
It's great that you have contacts over there, so can maybe help him after all....................

I purchased MOPAR parking sensors years ago from a Chrysler dealer, I haven’t installed them yet, I can’t bring myself to drill into the bumper cover.

I cant believe that was an option, Dave. I do not remember this ever being mentioned (well, in domestic, USA cars).

Go to my Index ....... and look at the Official Chrysler and Mercedes PDFs, you will find the 2007 options list, go to page 208 and there is a Crossfire in the ad for the sensors. $299 suggested retail price, also a hole saw to drill the bumpers $20.
Live and learn.

When I purchased my Crossfire, I remember coming across a Youtube video of someone installing the dealer kit at a shop. IIRC it was only the rear. It may still be out there in cyberspace...

Bluecoupe, Would you be interested in giving the sensor kit up for sale?
Bob
