Default Rear parking sensors retrofit question

Hi I was just having a nosey around and can't seem to find any loom or connectors that these could connect to if I bought a set.

I thought from reading that there would be something in the o/s cubby hole but nothing there.

So could anyone point me in the right direction to have a look or don't I have anything there ?

Thanks

Btw '03 ZTT

I fitted aftermarket ones... live feed to reverse light wire, earth to the body connector on the drivers side nr the fuel intake.. fast and easy, I'm sure you can connect the originals just as easily without the need for a loom.

Thanks for the reply, I only asked as I thought there was supposed to be something in there for the sensors, you see posts asking if it was the black or white one that they had

Cant help for a tourer but I retrofitted this system to a 51 ZT.

The loom connector was where your drivers side cubby hole is taped up above the wheel arch. The sensor ECU connected to this and is mounted on tabs i side the drivers rear quarter panel. I had to add the buzzer to the rear parcel shelf as well. I seem to remember not all the cars have the loom connection. If you look in my project thread it was one of the first upgrades I did.

If the wiring loom is already fitted for reverse parking sensors, you should find them behind the boot lining on the O/S.
The connector you are looking for is a black one like picture 2 in my post HERE.

If it is not fitted, you can retrofit it quite easily.

The white connector that comes from the parking sensor ECU in picture 1 of the above post, goes to the loom that fits in the bumper that connects to the each of the parking sensors themselves.

If you need anymore help/clarity, just shout.
