Question regarding park assist.
I have 2007 V VE Calais with rear park assist only. Due to damage I am looking at replacing the front bumper. If I get a replacement bumper with front park assist sensors can they be connected and will they work via the display console like the rear ones do? IE is the wiring in-place on all models?

Funny you should say that.
I'm not used to such a big car, I have been driving small Japanese cars for years then a short stint (5 months) in a large car beginning with "F" then about 4 weeks ago I bought the Calais.
Surprisingly I am finding parallel parking very easy (dipping rear view mirror helps), but like you, I find myself 3 feet away at the front.
Reverse parking, even with the park assist (set for the tow bar), I am still a couple fo feet off, getting better though.
Just thought that if I am replacing the bar and sensors can be added, why not?
