Parking sensors
I want to get parking sensors fitted to my Forester when I get one and would prefer a Subaru system over aftermarket. - I'm sure aftermarket are good and cheaper but I think the paperwork looks better when it's a subaru item.
If I was to buy this kit does anyone know where I could get the sensors in the correct blue rather than have these painted? Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll own a blue forester Sti 😎 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115238594949?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lYR1LtAUQNG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=spOHua_7Rv m&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY |

This Subaru system, produced for Subaru Europe ,is just the WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 kit with instructions and additional wiring to fit specific Subarus MY03-09
So very old stock. Kit manufactured by WAECO International GmbH Germany and now out of production. WAECO seems to be concentrating on Refrigeration and A/C equipment now a days. The sensors only ever came in black plastic. This copy of the advert seems more appropriate ;) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115375515...QAAOSwcaJh~6Zc You may want to read the instructions first before buying English section of Manual attached |
I bought a set of eBay for the Impreza, but just sat in garage as wasn't sure about chopping bumper up. And would have to be colour coded. I believe you can buy coloured sensors off eBay. Although won't be a 100% colour match.

Thank you both for your input, I'm always greatful for help, pointers and opinions.
I've read that there is a subaru parking system that doesn't involve drilling the bumper, any ideas? Would subaru sell them in the bkue I need or will I have to bite the bullet and just get a camera 😭 |
The very early system which I fitted to my then new MY03 Forester involved sticking a foil element to the inside of the rear bumper skin from one side to the other.
Part number WAS H481ESA000 cost at the time £153 inc vat and was basically a Taurus T123P parking sensor unit. All it gives is a variable beeping sound from a small speaker mounted near the rear side window. Basically the same as this https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...7cb213b035.png https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32777281418.html If you checkout aliexpress there seems to be a selection of items in the Hoklan store at the bottom of the page. Make sure you select UK for delivery info But if you want the "real deal" and pay a little more..................... https://piese-radacini-ro.translate....en&_x_tr_hl=en |
Good find Doh and a bargain price from aliexpress. So is that all you need in the kit nothing else?
