Hi all,

I have the D180 R-Dynamic S collected on the 1st September. The only D180 car my dealer had was mine that I ordered so the only test drive was when I actually picked the car up! As a result the front parking sensors that I assumed were standard on a £54K car were not!

Any ideas of how I can get these retro fitted/connected as the sensors seem to be there in the bumper! I approached the dealer but they said no as it is a factory fitted option!

Suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Can't help unfortunately with retrofitting I afraid, but out of all the options, this was the one I was most surprised/disappointed that I had to pay £260 for....

same here. I was so shocked that the sould alarm was not included in standard on the base model. I can understand that one has to purchase for the 360 camera or even for the rear cam. But paying an extra just to get the sound alarm on a 4,8 m long hi class vehicle .

I was Lucky enough to realise this one day before my order and could add it ... Dealer should have warned you. it's an easy sell for them...

I mentioned this in my introduction post :

But for what regards retrofitting, not suree it is that easy. Your bumpers might have the little circles but it does not mean that sensors are installed...

What alarm you talking about, the tracker system?

sorry I meant the sound produced by the parking sensors, not the alarm ...

Thanks all for your comments.

I guess a retrofit is my only chance.

I have contacted JLR Customer Services but they are not the quickest in replying!

Were you able to get it retrofitted?
