Parking sensor speaker ? - omega 2.6 elite saloon 2002
« on: 15 November 2016, 17:17:05 »

Hi - please can anyone advise where the speaker is located - I believe it is a stand alone speaker somewhere in the rear

my park assist doesnt work - no sound at all ?   Also - I would presume they just wire into the reverse lights for the signal ?

cheers
David

sure does - thankyou.

need to take the bumper off - was hoping to avoid that !!   I will look for a help on taking the bumper off and nice saturday morning job for me.

thanks again


Not a major issue - as I can get a new good quality complete reverse sensor kit fully fitted for £120  but would be easier just to get this one fixed.

Kit supplied and fitted for £120, humm can't see it being that good!

Official GM one would be better than most cheap kits

I thought the bumper only had to come off if you had constant tone and identified a faulty sensor?

Like you I had no sound and reading on here suggested a speaker fault. Apparently it's in the roof lining and succumbs to condensation. A recycled tweeter from a scrapper fixed mine. A few minutes of wiring mods and cable tied it behind the rear light bulb access panel, but that's on an estate.

In truth it's a bit quiet ( or I'm a bit mutt) so one day I may get out the boys own electronics kit and cobble together a small amp, but being an omega I'm sure there'll be bigger fish to fry before that day comes.

I relocated mine (tweeter) to the passenger side footwell kick panel.

Why are you taking the Bumper off to get to the Speaker?, we 'are' talking speaker here and not sensors, correct??
