Front parking sensors....

Front parking sensors....
I just bought my '16 F-Type R roadster a couple days ago and unfortunately, it didn't come with the Vision Pack (for a $100K+ car, why it isn't standard equip. is beyond me). Anyways, I noticed that there are "fake" sensor/mounts near the front bumper. Does this mean I can still retrofit front sensors if I wanted to?

Even the base V6 w/ no options has the blank sensor plugs. In 2 years here, I've never heard of anyone adding the vision pack , and it probably requires a fair amount of disassembly to add sensors, wiring, software and either another module or replacing the head unit itself.
I suspect it's doable, but I also suspect it wouldn't be cheap.

NAV-TV is your best option at this point, but I'm not sure it fits MY16 (it's listed for MY14&15).

It integrates into the center display. Supports front and/or rear cameras. $550 for the control unit. $125/camera at their site (link below). You can trim that a bit if you shop around. Figure $200-$300 for installation. One member said he got the parts for $700, including 2 cameras - although he only ended up doing the rear. Installation was $130, but I didn't find anyone around here that would touch that price. It might help if you're in a larger market with shops that have more experience and competition.

No. He was referring to the front sensors. Highly erratic and unreliable.
The primary reason I'm installing a front camera at the same time I have the front clip removed to change out the front grill to a one-piece Project 7 grill.

I found that you have to pause a little and let it start beeping. It's like everything else in the car, there's a slight delay to the radio, nav, sensors, etc.

Parking close w/the front sensors was much easier once I discovered there was a second set of red bars that follow the first on the parking display.
