EXT parking sensors

[ghawk4]

Hi -

Anyone know how much the EXT rear park assist sensors should be?  I cant seem to find them with the GM parts search services on line, and the only ones I saw on ebay were $200 each used (ouch)  Have not called the dealer yet (weekend)  but was wondering if anyone had purchaased these or knew.

Thanks

G.

We do have this kit, http://www.oviedosafetylights.com/Shopping.idc?ProductID=105&ProductCategory=19  , if that would help. Not exactly what you are asking for, but we have sold quite a few sets, and ervyone has been very hapy with it.

Thanks for the info, but I am just trying to get the factory system working again.  I think I need a couple of sensors, it looks like in a previous life, my EXT might have taken a small bump in the rear and the sensors have some cracked plastic.

Thanks,

G.

Oh, ok, You don't have that in your profile, so I thought you had an AV.

In case anyone else looks for these - the dealer quoted $203 each......OWICH!

Good thing there are only four (gulp) 

I think its time for a backup cam.....

that's strange. year and a half ago I had to buy those Escalade sensors. 4 sensors / module and display. cost me only $265. But I had to make my own harness. was a little pain, but those sensors are good, because they digital meaning they are very very accurate,not like aftermarket analog crap.

Wow - where did you get those sensors if you dont mind me asking?  My local dealer was not too helpful.

Thanks,

I bought them at the cady dealership (with discount of course).  it was awile ago, and I'll need to find my invoice of purchase with part numbers.
also FYI , there is one company

Thanks for the help!!!

If you ever run across that part number, I would be grateful.  At least then I could do a more efficient search for these.

One question I had - It appears that two of my sensors are painted body color, the other two are black.  Which way is correct from the factory?

I was always under the impression that if these were painted, they wer less effective.  I am not sure, but either two were replaced or two were left in the bumper and repainted.

Thanks,
