Re: T-31 Parking sensors erratic.

Now I'm not sure what to think.

1. Colours don't match exactly.
2. Sensors don't sit really well.
3. Just that feeling of being taken for a ride by the dealer....

Hi Jon,

That doesn't look genuine to me at all.

Yeah, take it back to the dealer and insist they produce proof that this is a genuine Nissan kit.

Re: T-31 Parking sensors erratic.


My ST-L T31 series 2 exy did not come with reverse sensors as standard.
I asked them to be provided when I ordered the vehicle.

All my sensors were fitted to the bumper bar as an aftermarket accessory. None of the sensors were fitted in the bottom of the tail gate as shown in the first pic you posted. They would have been factory fitted.
Your 2nd pic shows the 4 sensors in the bumper bar...and yet they appear to be nearly in line?

Nissan used the company MotorOne as their supplier and installer of my sensors. My two middle sensors were fitted a lot lower than shown in your 2nd pic on the sloping part of the bumper bar and operated so erratically that Nissan sent MotorOne twice to my home address to rectify the problem. The "fix" was to lower the sensitivity of the sensors so that now they do not operate until a lot closer to an obstacle. I have had to learn to reverse a lot slower than previously.


The problem was that the 2 middle sensors could not be mounted higher on the bumper bar due to the metal backup plate behind the bumper that Jalal mentioned. So the middle 2 slope towards the ground. It is possible that your sensors are pointing down slightly 2 low.

When MotorOner attended my premises I casually asked the technician how much I would have had to pay if I had purchased my vehicle and then arranged for MotorOne to fit the sensors, His response was vague but in the $260 - $369.00 mark. WOW. That was hundreds of dollars cheaper than what Nissan charged.

Re:


Just because you got them fitted at the dealer doesn't mean they will fit genuine accessories.
You have to state what you want including brand.

When my wife picked up her Golf from Canberra a couple of years ago she thought that she was getting the VW blue tooth hands free kit but instead the dealer installed a Parrot i9000, looks crap and has bits stuck to the dash everywhere.

I guess that's why I'm not that happy about it. If the dealer had said, we're not installing genuine Nissan accessories, we would have cancelled them, but the fact that when doing the deal, my father referred to the sensors as "Nissan Rear Park Assist" and a day or so after the matter was finalised, confirmed with the dealer, and was told something along the lines of, 'these are listed as aftermarket accessories on the contract because we get an external party to install them, however they are genuine Nissan sensors'

Re:


You can easily identify them as Genuine sensors or not by looking at the reverse sensing signal box which they would hve placed on either the right side jack compartment or the left side storage box. The box would have a Nissan part number if it is a genuine kit.

Re: T-31 Parking sensors erratic.


My "MotorOne" provided and installed reverse sensors (sensors requested as an available accessory at time of ordering the exy) has the control unit stuck to the bodywork behind the wall panel on the left hand side of the cargo area looking towards the front of vehicle, My jack storage is also located on the same left hand side.

The wall panel needs to be removed to view the control unit on my vehicle

cheers

Re: T-31 Parking sensors erratic.


hmmm

when I bought my (ex-demo) Exy last week I asked the salesman if I can get front and rear parking sensors installed. He said "yes". I then asked if they were genuine Nissan sensors and he again said "Yes" (I was specifically trying to avoid after market parts on this car ... it's the closest thing I've ever had to a new car and I wanted it prestine "genuine").

when I got the car home I discovered a separate brochure on the sensors. The rear sensors are mounted four in a row across the boot - none in the bumper and there's also a dodgy little rocker switch on the panel low down by the drivers side door that turns them on and off.

I haven't done a series of tests yet to check their sensitivity and accuracy (moving barriers into their path). I'm trying to decide whether to complain bitterly when I go back for my cargo barrier (that they didn't have in stock and didn't tell me wasn't fitted when they told me the car was all finished and ready to pick up) or to just be happy that I've got front and rear sensors that work (assuming they do work properly). Either way, they charged me a whopping $1440 for them so I'm not feeling very happy with the dealer right now.

After reading this thread I'm wondering if Nissan even have "genuine" sensors (I suspect not for the front anyway).
