So I'm looking at some hand me down bumpers with parking sensors for my base without sensors. Is this possible? I don't have access to my cars at the moment so I can't run forscan to see if the parking module is accessible or look and see if the wiring on the base is ready for the sensors, so I'm hoping someone knows more about this. If it is possible what is needed?

Yes. It is. It’s a bit of a pain. These have a parking aide module mounted to the frame. Do you’d have to add that module IF you don’t have any sensors.

the next hurdle is the sensors. Trying to drill holes or replace the bumpers? Also then wiring them all. Do you only add rear or do front and rear?

I haven’t determined how prewired the broncos are yet but it seems they are to some extent prewired.

it’s doable but doable depends on what you’re capable of and how much you want to put into it.

I have take off mod bumpers with sensors already in them. Kind of hoping to just plug the sensors in and program in forscan. Adding a parking module is probably doable and even upgrading the bcm if needed. Installing a new body harness would be a stretch so hoping it doesn't require something like that.

Methinks you also need to have the sensors calibrated after install or replacement (on any vehicle getting sensors replaced due to accident repair for example)

I have absolutely no clue if you can calibrate yourself or if needs done by dealer. I know for a fact that body shops can't calibrate BMW sensors as our X4 after deer damage repair required a trip to the dealer (which has no body shopbofvits own for some odd reason) for calibration

Oh, I saw the title and thought you needed this guidance.

I added Parking Sensors fairly easily:

Then wait 2 years to get it. LOL

Now that Ford says my wife's Bronco will be at the dealer in two weeks (I assume 1-2 months real time), I want to eventually add the adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist to my base Bronco. Someone already did this here but he had the parking sensors from factory and he mentioned that the ACC might have the sensors as part of the package. Interested in this.
