Re:SZ5 Reverse sensors and camera supply and fit Essex/Suffolk/Cambs?

Thanks all  - sounds like the camera is the answer !!

The camera needs plugging into the back of the ICE and GPS unit. The sensor do not. I had the sensor but fitted a camera instead. It takes a little getting used to but is superior.

The bumper has to come off to fit the camera as well. I would say,  like Dr Robin, the camera would probably be enough. With the genuine one the lines on the screen are very good at being able to judge how near/far away you are.

 If you use the green line you get enough room to open the rear door and walk around it. The yellow line just allows you to open it as seen against the garage door. Red line puts spare tyre about 8 inches away.

Thanks, that’s a really handy guide.  Until you test it you never know how far you can get back and still open the door or hit something.

I was however, interested to see the inside of the door and how exposed the rear window de-mist wires are, I could see our dog pulling at those, except my Gen 4 came with small plastic covers.

 

They are possibly genuine Suzuki on mine (everything else is) but eBay and Aliexpress sell similar ones for around £5.  I think they just stick on, but certainly hide the wires.

The wire guards could be from Jimnystyle, I think they sold them first before the other platforms. I don't think Suzuki have ever done them?

Yes, they're Jimnystyle's biggest seller.  The wires do look very vulnerable otherwise.

You are probably right about Jimnystyle, I am fairly sure the snorkel came from there, then there is the centre console tray round the gear stick and door pockets (well one left).

I reckon the previous owner left the car (and credit card) in the Suzuki Options department and then Jimnystyle and told them to fit what they could until the card was exhausted and flaked out on the ground.
