Has someone had expirience with instaling parking sensors for Fiat Ducato year 2011

I want to install parking sensors but i dont know which are the best for this type of van?

Thanks in advance

I have one of these which works OK, although none are 100% reliable, and are not a substitute for looking where you are going.

There are lots of other suppliers on ebay selling the same thing, so shop around.
When you take the rear bumper off you will see there are already 4 cut outs moulded in the back of the plastic bumper ready to fit 4 sensors , and 4 corresponding holes already cut in the steel that reinforces it.

Grey sensors would be the nearest match, but black looks perfectly OK.

Thanks Peter ,

I saw on the inner side of the bumper , 4 markings where the holes need to be drilled.
Finnaly i bought 4 sensors with beeper (no display just beeper)

I hope i will have no problems mounting them to the van

I fitted a set of 4 to my 57 plateabout 3 weeks ago.
Bought from ebay and fitted in about an hour. Never fitted them before.
As said, 4 holes in the bumper. Splice into the reverse light cable and stick the sounder in back. Cable was to short to reach the front but its load enough.
A little tip. Angle the sensors up a little. Mine picks up the curb or driveways .
 
I mounted today 4 sensors and tested it
I drill exactly where is marked and put all 4 sensors and everything is working.
