<center><img src="http://zubehoer.audi.de/library/gifs/artikel/G_4F0054630.JPG"></center><p>Rear backup sensors, with harness, wiring, etc.

Any idea what would be involved, and if it would even be possible?

Has anyone ever tried this?

(Also, ebay.uk seller with the same item. He says it can be done "easily" but not sure how trustworthy that opinion is:

Default Would have expert body shop do it, just wondering if it is technologically

possible. I believe it would have to integrate with the MMI? To adjust volume, tone, etc. like factory standard.

Also, would it wire directly into a US unit? And how much labor would be involved.

Anyone do this yet?

Yes, it's possible if this set uses genuine Audi parts. In fact, Audi lists a parking sensor retrofit kit as genuine accessory, I'm talking abt the European market, not sure whether they offer this as accessory in the US.

Don't blemish your bumper. Keep it clean and back up slowly.
