Can anyone please help! I would like to retrofit parking sensors to my brand new Fiat 500 electric Icon. I was duped when I ordered it into thinking they came as standard and my horror the car didn’t have them when it was finally delivered to me after 8 months waiting.
Can they be retrofitted? They are sold on the Fiat Mopar website as accessory for my car but I don’t trust that website… has anyone ever retrofitted them?
My local mechanic says that I risk blowing the electrics of the car which will invalidate my warranty. He says that the sensors would have to be powered by tiny power that goes into the rear parking led light. Because it is an led light this has need for very little voltage and the sensors would be too much for this to be supported by that connection… please advice.
