Video tutorial

This video shows how to fit parking sensors to the rear of a Honda CR-V. The first part of the video shows (in fast motion) how to remove all the interior trims from the back of the vehicle to find the necessary spaces for placing the control unit, sensors, and connecting cables.

The control unit cables must be connected to those on the inner side, then prepare the housing for the control unit: first, measure the control unit, then, taking this into account, drill the inner panel (the one corresponding to the small side window) and mount the control unit itself, passing its cable through one of the drilled holes.

Now reassemble the panel. The connection between the control unit and the sensors should run along the inner edge of the rear bumper.

After marking with a marker the position where the sensors will be mounted, use a drill to make guide holes and holes for their placement. Once the sensors are inserted, a polystyrene spacer will need to be constructed to place between the bumper and the cross member.

At this point, reassemble all components as they were previously.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
