[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I find the Omega remarkably easy to park.  Now the Jag, I admit, I do have to rely on the technology, front and back 

My XFR has front and rear parking sensors as you would expect.

The rear view camera I rarely use, looking over my shoulder instead.......plus the annoying 'nanny knows best' beeping really pisses me off.

The Omega is a large car for the ladies to deal with and most have no idea where the front and back finish. Datsun Micra or smaller is better for girlies.

Already got three cars here.Easier to rig something up on the front of the Omega than buy another car. 
While rummaging in the shed yesterday I cam across an aftermarket park pilot type system I removed from an Omega a few years back.
I may install that at the front of the Omega.
A potential problem I can see with this, is that the sensors will be beeping while in traffic etc. unless I keep a good distance from the car in front. Not sure how best to solve this.

That will work use the traffic master switch for on/off

That's a possibility. Only concern is if the driver forgets to switch it on.

That's PTM, you probably want latching.


If I was doing, I'd probably intercept speed signal, and also reverse (want fronts to be active when reversing), to turn on.



Migv6, you will find 3rd party systems universally shite

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Just found the 3rd party system which was working when I removed it from the rear of an Omega several years ago, no longer works at all.
Also, the car doesn't have a TM switch to wire it into, if it did work.
Back to the drawing board,  but I cant see the result being me intercepting the speed signal. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Tried the parking system again today, but connected to a power supply I knew had power, rather than one that I thought had power. It worked fine. 
So, Ive fitted it to the car with a little switch on the gearshift panel. Seems to work ok.
