    Hi Andy, as always, great to read of your progress and retrofit efforts.
    I would like to the add the rear traffic capability - I presently only have the parking sensors front and rear along with rear view camera.

    Are you aware what additional hardware would be needed - is it just the 2 sensors for rear bumper along with the brackets, plus the loom to interface it?

    Had a few near misses already whilst backing out cautiously but the sheer length of the vehicle makes it tough seeing clear of a bay until you already have the backside out by several feet.

    Am I right in thinking this system warns of approaching traffic as cautionary, as well as applies safety measures (brakes) if it believes impact is likely? I'll have a search to see if I can find a video of the system in action.

    Hi Spr0cket

    Thanks for your comments.

    Correct you could have rear traffic crossing on its own if you wish as the hardware for side assist is the same hardware for Rear traffic crossing. In addition to a wiring loom and integration into fuse box etc.

    Correct, Red arrows will appear on the mmi for caution but put on the anchors if it feels danger is imment. There is quite of lot of coding to be done and that depends on what equipment you already have but it's all doable.

    Here is a good video showing it.

    Hope that helps

    Brings back memories of this time last year when I was watching all his YouTube videos during the 3 month wait

    Spr0cket - with the rear view camera, can you select the wide angle view in the interim or is that only with the all round cameras? You can just about make out the options on the top left of the 2nd pic below

    Andy,

    I will have my car with front and rear parking sensors, but not with rear view camera, also no side assist. If I install rear traffic assist, will it work? Also roughly how much did you pay for the rear assist (brackets, radars, loom)?

    Thanks,

    Hi Anemeth

    Yes it will work, there isnt a "pre-req" for it but you will need to take passenger seat out to wire it in unless you have the overhead 360 camera system.

    Cost of parts for rear traffic crossing is circa £400-450 GBP (parts off ebay and dealer etc)

    Cheers

    Andy,

    Thanks. I hoped that the little loom which you made will work for me too, but as I do not have the overhead 360 camera, I am not prepared to take the seat out. Thus I will not do this. Good luck with the rest of the mods!

    Thanks,

    Hi Anemeth

    No worries, I actually did a little more digging last night and you dont need to remove the passenger seat as you have the reversing camera.. so it is easier in that regard.

    You can certainly make a loom up like I did..

    PM me if you want to discuss further

    Cheers

    ...until we all start asking for Andy's Retrofit Services ☺

    Thankfully I didn't put expertise at the end of the title there otherwise the abbreviated company name probably wouldn't work well
