Hello all, I am looking at a 2018 ftype which is currently for sale and I noticed that it has front parking sensors in the wheel arch.

I have had a couple off ftypes before and have never seen this before. Is it standard or is it a retrofit?

Thanks

Part of the blind spot sensing I think.

I think that's the sensor for auto parking. Finding a space to parallel park and then doing it for you.

I've got the mirror blindspot one but no wing sensors.

Ah yes. I have the auto parking features on mine. Never tried them though.

Yes, I have the auto park function but apart from proving it works with marker cones on my driveway, I just do not have the confidence (balls) to use it for real.

Thanks all, I hadn’t thought of that. Makes sense as to why the sensor is positioned where it is.
