I had 4 ParkPilot sensors installed on my 07 TCH (Desert Sand) in December.

The sensors were ordered to match the car. I ordered the sensors from a Sanford, Florida, Toyota dealer. They then installed them.


The total cost of the installation: ParkPilot System with 2 extra sensors and installation kit: 361.57. Installation by Toyota: 142.43.

Although the the Toyota Parts ParkPilot page shows only 2 sensors, I opted for the 2 extra sensors to give me a wider "view" than only directly behind the car.

As MickeysPal says, this system only "beeps", but it is easy to tell what zone an object is in.

The only caveat I would offer: The system comes with a black, cheap, ugly push button (a la 1980's Radio Shack) to temporarily disable the system. Have the installers put the switch in a non-visible area (such as under the dash -- like the ECO switch is). My installer put it on the console, on the small plate just to the rear of the shift lever. It really cheapens the look of the interior. (I'll probably move the switch an replace the panel during the summer months when the weather is better.

If desired, I could take pictures, but I don't know how to attach it to the posts (yet).

Oh, yes, -- for tnsig, they are put in a hole drillled into the facing of the bumper.

Never mind, I see that MickeysPal has just sent pictures.
