Ford back up sensor and other goodies.

[CanadianGuy]

Just noticed this today that there are a few new accessories for the Fiesta from Ford:

Who's willing to try? Looking [MENTION=879]D1JL[/MENTION]

Some other things like vinyl stickers and carbon pillar appliques (aka stickers).

An Ipad holder for the rear seat.

 

[D1JL]

I am already looking into the sensors.

Dave

For some reason i am not surprised. If they work i will get them. Now maybe this is a precursor to Ford releasing the back up camera kit.

 

[D1JL]

The camera is mandatory in 2017.
These sensors at this time are not.
This may be just a way to add another dealer installed option.





Dave

 

[CanadianGuy]

Well a backup camera could be a dealer thing as well.

Remember, I installed a factory quality back-up camera.
Dealers now get around $95.00-$120.00 per hour labor.
Sense the car is not prewired this could be a $1500.00-$2000.00 option.

The sensor kit need to be special ordered at about $210.00 plus shipping.
I am still waiting on the required tool.

Completely understood I would hope the "software" upgrade it it is offered by Ford would not be $500 + the camera. Wishful thinking but that is my hope.

Price seems fair to me. Just hope the tool is not a stupid thing.

Very interesting

 

[D1JL]

The install tool kit is part number:

VAS4Z-15A866-C

I don't have an exact price as of yet but it is around $50.00.

The only other issue is that the sensors come unpainted.





Dave

 

[D1JL]

Here is what I found out.

Sensor Kit PN# VAS4Z-15A866-B $207.00

Sensor Install Tool Kit PN# VAS4Z-15A866-C $46.00

Parking Sensors Install Instructions


Prices are plus shipping, from Steve at Tasca.

[MENTION=879]D1JL[/MENTION] Are you getting it? Interesting to know how it all goes.

 

[D1JL]

I think my wife wants me to put a set in her Honda first.

I am just wondering how the color might come out using those touch up paint sets from Ford.




Dave

 

[CanadianGuy]

The price is not terrible if the quality is good. If you are getting them for any vehicle let me know, else I may get them in the fall.

 

[D1JL]

There many other sets on the market for less money.
Ford chose this set so I hope it is better than most.





Dave

 

[D1JL]

Order placed.




Dave

This is cool. I loved having them on the focus. May do this in the future. Oxford white will be an easy match with those touch up cans too.

[MENTION=879]D1JL[/MENTION]

hmm look what I came accross @ rockauto
VARIOUS MFR Part # FO1100703 {#D2BZ17906BB}
ST; w/Lower Molding Holes; w/Rear Object Sensors; primed / ready to paint; Rear

Could this be true a rear bumper for ST with sensors?

 

[D1JL]

They are out of stock.

All US rear bumpers are the same except the Titanium.
It has the parking sensors.
So I'M sure it is a Titanium bumper and yes, it will fit an ST.

The only factor here is the cost of paint.
I am hoping to use touch up for about $13.00.
