$15 Parking Sensor behind bumper cover - no drilling - installed front or rear of the car DIY

[@Peppermint1]

Search Ebay/Aliexpress for "Electromagnetic parking sensor". The sensor itself is a long metallic strip roll.

I installed this sensor on my 2004 S60 and its perfect. Thanks for sharing DIY guide. Much appreciated!!!

[@Peppermint1]

Glad to hear others appreciate it

[@NinaYo401]

Pretty neat. Informative. Wish it was as easy for xc70

[@saywhattt4462]

Perfect !!!

[@GetzLazlo]

Great video, have all the info I need so thanks! Just wondering, is the device still working? If not, how durable was it? Were there any problems with it over time?

[@Peppermint1]

Still works, only thing is during rain or after washing the car (wet bumper), it beeps for the first moments when reversing, then works normally. Funnily enough, I didn't notice it beeps when the bumper is covered with snow, perhaps it does but I don't remember to happen too often

Great video. By any chance do you know of these (or similar sensors) can be installed in a Volvo S60 2004 front bumper?

[@Peppermint1]

The front bumper cover is more difficult to remove - at least for the first time - there's rivets, plastic pins, etc. Once removed, it is possible to stick the sensor strip along the back of this cover, making sure the strip sits on a vertical surface and as far away as possible from the actual metal bumper member - the metal will fool the sensor if it's too close. May need to find a power source such as perhaps the position lights, and wire an ON/OFF switch inside the cabin which will activate the sensor when parking. The sensor box also needs be located away from any large metal part. Here's how to remove the bumper cover kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqScfoyGlJmnrNU

@@Peppermint1 Thanks a lot. Your response is much appreciated. Kudos for your channel, it has been an extremely helpful guide in getting some badly needed repairs in my Volvo.

Hi, thanks for the video. It was very useful to see the real visual demonstration. I have a question though. If I decide to replace the bumper will it come off easily? and will it be possible to attach it again to the new bumper?

[@Peppermint1]

Hi, not sure if it's same on all years, here's two forum link you may find info forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?138043-05-07-S60-R-rear-bumper-cover-replacement volvoforums.com/forum/volvo-s60-v60-10/2002-s60-rear-bumper-32645/

[@utilizator333]

@@Peppermint1 I am sorry for not expressing myself clearly. I was referring to the electromagnetic parking sensor. After installation will it be possible to take the sensor off and attach it to the new bumper? I suppose electromagnetic parking sensor tape can be attached/used only once as it will be difficult to pull it off in order to reuse it. No?

[@andrerocha1406]

Hello Good video, same as all the videos you do. Where did you buy this sensor tape? Thank you

[@Peppermint1]

Hi there, I put a few links in the video description above. Pretty much anything you find upon searching on Ebay or Aliexpress something like "electromagnetic parking sensor". About $10 a piece, pretty much all the same

[@saywhattt4462]

My s60 have towbar, do you thing it’s will be a problem ? Should it work what you think ?

[@Peppermint1]

Good question. The metal tow bar is about 5 inches from the strip band, I think it will be fine - plus it should really help not bumping the cars behind when parking. But try first attaching the strip band with some tape over the cover, and see how it works: if it works fine, then you are good to install it as in the video. Hope this helps.

[@saywhattt4462]

Peppermint thank for answer ;)

[@saywhattt4462]

Peppermint I installed my today and it work perfect !!! So thanks for the video! My s60 back windows are tinted and when its dark outside it was very difficult to reverse but now its very easy. Thank for the video!

[@Peppermint1]

@@saywhattt4462 Glad to hear! It's really helpful indeed

I can't see how wires going from bumper to inside . Where is buzzer ?

[@Peppermint1]

You can see the white wire at 1:58 coming from inside the car, there is a hole in the bumper for one of the clips of the black plastic piece, I passed the wire through that hole, inside the right side of the trunk. The buzzer is attached right near the module shown at 2:35, you can just taped it there on the metal somewhere, hidden behind the side cover inside the trunk.

[@KeegsH]

@@Peppermint1 If I wanted to could I buy wires and then extend the buzzer wire to when I want it is that possible?

[@MrKushinator420]

Can you do this on v70? (2003)

[@Peppermint1]

The rear bumper cover is different on the 2001-2007 V70
