Fiesta MK8 Active park assist retrofit guide

[Graham17]

You can try ebay, however the flat black plastic ones you mention are the correct ones for the sensors.
They also clip into the brackets from behind. The genuine Ford ones have a raised surround that protrudes through the bumper so both the bracket and sensor appear flush fitting.
As for prev question if you have the correct parking module ( theres only 2) 1 does rear only the other is active park and front and rear.
You can prog F and Rear or a tive park 12 sensors not 10.

Thanks for the reply, I did manage to order some from Ford which arrive today the ones you posted about are no longer sold by euro carparts, I bought the same ones that I had when retrofitted the rear, the reason I needed those type is I already had Valeo front sensors and wanted to use existing holes.

I have now also enabled front and rear for testing, I just bought a rear loom with sensors, some new rubber surrounds, swapped wires around so all the sensors were flipped to the correct positions as was much cheaper than buying separate, tested it and it works so ordered the wires now ready to fit. I like to OEM where I can so waiting on the wires with tracer colours simmilar which will be a few days.

I'm not sure if going full auto park at the moment unless I can get easy access to the wiring a second time to add the parking, I can only get the connectors needed from china at £10 each and the 4 sensors £10 each. I wasn't able to find a 6 sensor loom on eBay sadly when I ordered

Or perhaps the side bumper brackets have a new part number now I don't know.

Maybe I'll try and source some for the side ones if I go full auto park so they don't stick out.

Would be trial and error though as ford make so many different retainers.

I found the brackets on eurocarpars, bizzare if I type your number in it says can't find item but if I use a link they sent me I can order them!

Just in case anyone else is struggling here's the link. I'm only fitting them on the sides so ordered 4.

Looking for some more help from anyone who has done this on a MK8 fiesta.

I finally got everything installed, the PAM, the side sensors and wiring, and this part works fantastic, on screen I see obstacles fronts rear and both sides however I have an issue I cannot turn on active park assist, the button doesn't seem to do anything, it's the button with a P next to a steering wheel. My plug had a green wire going to Pin 2 but in the boot my PAM connector didn't have pin 12 so I have run a wire from pin 12 all the way down the car under the seat and soldered it to the green wire on pin2 of the centre console switch but still nothing.

I have re read the instructions and now see mention of a grey wire to the BCM and to a fuse, I assume mine has this because the Pam and sensors are all working ?

Any other ideas what I can try. I had to use plain text config as my settings only have 2 digits at the end not 4 like in the instructions. I've enabled basically everything to do with front and rear parking In IPC, APIM, Pam etc.. including 12 channels with full atomatic park assist.

All sorted and up and running thanks again for the guide.
