waterpro Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I recently bought a nicely used 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. I'm really liking the backup sensors and camera but unfortunately this used one didn't come with the front sensors. I was curious if anyone was successful in adding front sensors after the fact? I don't need a front camera, just the sensors to beep at me when I'm getting close to something. Anyone have any luck installing front sensors?

omar302 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Never read of anyone attempting it. It probably will not be easy, if possible. Will require added hardware (sensors & module obviously, and wiring) and software programming to enable them to work with the vehicle systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterpro Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 It would be awesome to get it somehow hooked up to the Synch system, but it isn't neccesary. I was thinking more or less just beeps that get progressively faster as you get closer or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWizard Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 There are universal aftermarket systems which do the same thing but would cost far less (not to mention being easier to install and get working). They range in price from about $50 to $180 depending on what features you want. A basic beeping front parking sensor kit with four sensors is about $57 on Amazon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'manedgeowner Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Have to agree with TheWizard on this. I looked up the price of a discounted Ford OEM bumper proximity sensor and found one for $55. That's just the sensor without even wiring. Start adding up what you're looking for including activating the system, if even available, in your modules and an aftermarket kit looks a lot more attractive.

akirby Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I think I turn mine off more than I use them because of all the false alarms in drive thrus, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
