Mine were fitted & colour coded by Karl from incarelectrics.co.uk but this was kindly organised by 911virgin prior to me picking up the car.

This is only because I'm getting the bumper repainted as the previous owner got it touched up and 'tis grim when you look closely at the colour match and (lack of) prep - I actually quite like the clean lines of no sensors and no issues so far, but why not...
Leading evidence: 'Install & colour coded by karl' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean lines of no sensors and no issues so far' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Am toying with the idea of replacing the CDR22 with a Pioneer double din, and maybe putting a camera into one of the numberplate lamp areas, but based on how often I use the radio (pretty much never) but smartphone google maps (always) I'm really not sure it's worth the cost or hassle.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Has anyone retro fitted any rear parking sensors to their 996 , OE or after market ?
Is it a big job ? , are OE parts necessary or does anyone know of a suitable supplier of after market parts /kits which wouldn't ruin the whole bumper.
Reason - preservation !!
After 5 years of ownership , my wife suddenly decided she might like to have a drive in my car !
Likely getting them done soonish and definitely aftermarket - and as low profile as possible. This is only because I'm getting the bumper repainted as the previous owner got it touched up and 'tis grim when you look closely at the colour match and (lack of) prep - I actually quite like the clean lines of no sensors and no issues so far, but why not...
The original 996 ones are HORRIFIC if you have ever seen photos online? No wonder they were seldom fitted.
I think the early 996 ones were huge, the later 996/997 ones were smaller, but still protruded a little.
Mine has a colour coded cobra parkmaster set

these sit flush to the bumper like the ones on more modern cars eg a 991.
sorry no pic's to hand at the moment, but they look discreet to me & do the job.
I just had the electromagnetic strip reverse sensor fitted, it's not a good range wise as the ultra sonics but it's no holes and completely invisible. If I was having the bumper resprayed I would certainly think about aftermarket flush fit ultrasonics they are better, there are plenty of good kits available reasonably cheaply and nothing like the oem warts
There are plenty of suppliers/ fitters out there.
Quite inexpensive, and subtle, if you can see them on the pic below? .. (unlike the original bee sting variety!)but aural only... of the beep beep beeeeeesp variety!
And yes I got mine done for the same reason as you :nooo:
Nicely done. Who fitted may I ask?
I tried to order the strip sensors from a well known supplier, but my card was skimmed so I'm definitely going with modern ultrasonics instead.

If you are based near the south coast...
We used these folks the other day:
http://www.reversepark.co.uk/
Front and rear fitted to Mrs L's BMW 140i - colour-matched sensors with audio interface (you don't want to ask how much BMW retro-fit and integrated ones are....) - all in for £350 - they came to the house and it took about 2-3 hours.
Would recommend them - nice guys and a pro job
I fitted one of those kits on mY T5 van when I bought it new in 2015 and I am really impressed with them.
The only slight fly in the ointment is that they only detect whilst the vehicle is moving.
