ARB Rear Bumper Installed

[Romer]

Two dealers wanted almost $600 to Calibrate the sensors

So I went another path that does not require calibration.

The ARB Bumper comes with all new sensors, all 4 the same part number

The stock bumper uses the same sensors in the center, but different at the ends

The Parking Assist feature is off because it does not recognize the new sensors or at least the two at the ends that are different part numbers at least that is my theory.

I took the bumper off and partially disassembled so I could swap the sensors with the stock ones in the stock locations.

Now everything works as it should. If there is a difference in the sensitivity or angle detection, I can’t tell the difference from the drivers seat

The bottom line is for these Rear ARB bumpers, if you use the set of new sensors, Calibration is required or it won’t work. If you use the stock sensors, then the systems all work fine.

There must be a way to register the sensors easily rather than do a full calibration testing angles etc. The next person to do this may figure that out or just use the originaal ones. Be nice to know though

Thanks, so you are confirming you have the same unused connector. At least I didnt miss anything in my install

I wonder what it is for?

So, I had my 5k service today at my local dealer, and I walked through the showroom and they had two Tacos, an SR5 and TRD. Looking underneath the back both had this same plug, as well as my TH. I asked the tech guy what's with the plug? All the Tacos have it. Without extensive research, which he was going to do, he said it's probably something to do with towing and a camera system.

Thanks for doing all the research and leg work and then sharing with everyone

That is what these forum communities are all about. I have benefited from others research as well.
