Thanks Tim - definitely useful to keep an eye (ear) out isn’t it - all the best, David 👍

Hi David, your video has proved helpful, I've just about finished fitting the kit you used to our 2021 Pilote Ducato van conversion. The part number was on the box but there is no reference to it specifically being produced by Fiat. It had a comprehensive set of parts like yours so assume it's ok. As you identified, the reversing light connection wire is a green/grey wire and not as stated in the instructions. Because of the rear bed layout and the cabinetry in the Pilote I found it easier to remove the driver’s side rear lamp assembly to access the wiring via the plug. There are two fixings like a threaded box spanner to remove. They can be undone by hand if the lamp assembly gently pushed against the body compressing foam rubber seals. If not, a 17mm socket will be required. All that remains to be done is to fine tune the sensitivity/offset and find a location for the buzzer towards the front and get the wire to it. Did you use the 5 or 10 degree sloping angle rings for the sensors or just fit them flat ?

Thanks for the comment, it was the recommended aftermarket one by Fiat at the time so I got that to avoid any warranty issues with it being connected into the Fiat electrics. I used the 5 degree angle if I remember right after doing some testing but then reading somewhere that was the right one (the smaller angle). Seems to work pretty well. Hope that makes sense, all the best, David 👍

Nice one. Just bought a Qubo and need to fit some of these. Just need to try and find them for a decent price!

Hi Tony, it’s catching them somewhere when the price is right isn’t it - hope you manage to get hold of some at a decent price. All the best, David 👍

Nice video mate, and looks simple enough to do :-)

Thank you - wasn’t too bad a job to do and seems to have done the trick - thanks you - all the best, David 👍

David, great video. Where did you mount the buzzer? Did you use the extension lead? Thanks.

Hi Roland - I’ve stuck it to the side of the battery temporarily to see what the sound level was like and it’s ok - I did that without the extension but may move it as still working out of positioned best (it’s under the bench essentially but pointing forward) - all the best, David 👍

Hi David, great video it prompted me to buy the kit that you describe which I received the kit a couple of days ago. The kit includes 3 sizes of offset shims. which size did you use?

Thank you - do you mean the offset washer type things (assume so) - I think it said in the booklet which one to use as I had the same wonder on which to use - I can’t remember for sure which one it was but think it was the middle one - I’m pretty sure there was a table somewhere which had Ducato and which one for that (as it’s universal for cars as well and had the models on) - sorry that’s not much help!

Thanks David. I was going to use the middle one but will scour the instructions again just to double check.

Great video….I am just completely astounded that these vans do not come with this feature as standard! Very poor from fiat! Even tiny cars get this as standard these days!

For the cost of a few things like this would make sense to include as helps make the vehicle safer - thanks for comment, all the best, David 👍

Hi David been watching all your content and two questions can you swap out reg original leisure battery for a lithium with no issues or do you need to replace stuff like you did and secondly did you do any more insulation or just the back doors cheers Steve

Hi Steve, ref Lithium - it depends, if your setup has compatible charger etc then you can normally just reconfigure it and use that - if it’s not then it’s best to swap out for the right things - do you have the same type of van or a different one? On the second one - I have more work to do on the insulation which I will be doing in early autumn (if not before) as didn’t get around to the side door but also want to do the rear pillars and improve it where I can. Hope that helps All the best, David 👍

Hi David. Just watched your video again fitting rear parking sensors. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them at the bargain price that you got them for. Whereabouts did you get yours? Thanks, Mel.

Hi Mel, I picked them up on eBay - they appear periodically at a good price - there are similar non-Fiat approved ones available if you get stuck. Will have a look and see if I can spot any but I noticed they seem to be a few weeks between the sensibly priced ones and he full price ones. All the best, David 👍

Hi David, can I just clarify the kit that you used was a genuine Fiat kit, only I have enquired at our local Fiat dealer and they don't have any information. A link would be really helpful if you could send me one please?

Hi, that part number actually refers to a Fiat 500 kit not a Ducato???
