Hatch doesn't come with parking sensors as standard so could be a Subaru Accessory

Parking Aid-Ultrasonic Type (Rear)
The latest Genuine Subaru Accessory Park Detection Control System. Unlike other accessory kits, this 4 sensor parking aid is also supplied with a visual indicator, which is installed discreetly in the vehicle on the passenger side c-pillar. Supplied in a black finish (which can be colour-coded if required) This “must have accessory” will enable you to protect your cars from those annoying scrapes and dents when parking in the ever-shrinking car park spaces.

Part No. SEWAYA2002
£ 200.00 (inc. VAT, exc. Fitting - unless otherwise stated)
No idea where/what they tap into,
Would have thought the fitting instructions would have been given to the owner.

If they are dealer fit ones the control box will be in the near side rear quarter of the boot, behind the foam boot insert.

It'll be a small black box with 5 cables, 4 sensors and power from the reverse light, so if yours are hooked up the same the fuse is via the reverse light.

Mine were connected in to the loom for the towing electrics which also sits under the foam insert.

The original ones were ****e with the sensors repeatedly failing. Finally got the dealer to get Subaru to replace mine under warranty with the newer Bosch ones which work perfectly.

I mounted my display unit centrally in the roof lining by the hatch. Only issue was the new sensors needed bigger holes with very tight tolerance, decided to fit them myself didn't trust the dealer to get it right... it's a long story that resulted in 3 rear bumpers being fitted!
