Talking Re: Barcelona Red TCH w/Backup Sensors???

Well... my dealer refused to install Park Pilot on my TCH, even though I was able to direct him to another Southeast (SET) dealer that had installed Park Pilot on a JHSMITH's TCH without any problems.

The instructions in the SET Park Pilot base kit (P/N 00016-00034) state the option is "Not compatible with Hybrid model", so my dealer cited liability concerns with installing the feature (even though he could see no technical reason that would prevent successful installation).

So, I purchased the parts (base kit, 4 sensors and template) from my dealer and then had an auto accessory shop install them. The only glitch they encountered was that the "Off" switch could not be mounted where the instructions specified. The instructions specify mounting the switch where the "Fuel Filler Door" button is located. (The release for the fuel filler doors on non-hybrid Camry's must be located elsewhere?) I had my installer locate the switch on the trim panel to the left of the parking brake.

"Off" switch location...
