Default Parking sensors

Hi,

Planning to buy 2010 Outlander soon, noticed that it's possible to install rear parking sensors however it's not clear if they come with a small display or just a buzzer. Dealer know nothing about this
So it is just a buzzer?

Thanks

You will get a picture on the display between speed and tacho.

Found another dealer, he said if there is no MMCS then no visual indication for rear parking sensors
Also no front parking sensors

4 rear sensors, and 2 front.
The only thing is that it could be Japan-market-only option.

Just for a record...
I got my car yesterday, it's awesome, but no indication for parking sensors, only buzzer. I guess Japanese version is more advanced.

Default rear parking sensors

Have a look on E Bay, a shed full of money cheaper than Mitsubishi !!
I bought a kit and fitted to the rear of mine in less than 1 hour, ( wired into reverse light), only gives an audible warning but very accurate. No reason why you couldn't fit a second set to front but would have to incorporate a switch in the circuit to prevent them operating in slow moving traffic / queues.
Have also fitted a rear view wireless camera to mine, again sourced from E Bay, this uses a small colour moniter plugged into cig lighter on dash and small camera fixed to rear tailgate and wired into reverse lights. Selecting reverse gear activates camera and monitor, works well even in darkness

Default parking sensors

photo attached, sensor kit includes a 'hole cutter' and the sensors sit on wedge shaped mounts which can be turned so that sensors can be 'aimed' for accuracy. Some kits come with 4 sensors but I find that 2 are adequate
