Hi I have checked and confirm that all my sensors are working was I can hear the clicking noises but there is not sound when I reverse. So can someone please tell me where I can find the speaker in the car? I know it's some where at the parcel shelf but couldn't see anything. Thanks in advance

Hey there, check out the Park aid diagnosis link in the X type FAQ quick link thread

Good luck

 

Thanks for the reply Jim i have been there before but there's no info on the exact location of the speaker at the rear parcel shelf for a sedan model. Thanks hope i can find it.

Hi Sibu999

Did you find the reverse parking speaker, I am in the same situation, Removed everything at the cak and cannot find it.

 

Sibu 999 hasn't been around since 2011, so I think we can assume he's moved on!

However, to answer your question, the speaker is attached to the parcel shelf. It's between the shelf trim panel that you see from inside the car and the steel panel underneath that is seen from the boot. From the boot, look up and at the back of the shelf and between the two bass speakers (or apertures if not fitted) you should see two black plastic pins with expanding 'wings' that hold them in place. These are the rivets that hold the speaker in place on top of the steel panel

Getting the parcel shelf out needs a few other bits to come out first! The rear seat backrest side bolsters, the C Pillar trim panel and then rear seat and backrest. That should allow access to the three fixings along the front face of the parcel shelf to release it.

 

Hi Astromorg, Thank you for the valuable directions. I managed to get to the back of the parcel shelf to find only the wires and no speaker. However, I had a piezo speaker sitting around and connected it up, and it worked. I have an issue if you can give me some advice. When the car power is turned on, I hear a faint, high-pitched tone from the speaker. it is still there on reverse but when the parking sensors work this sound gets drowned....Any thoughts? Thank you

 

I would say it's probably because your speaker doesn't match the system design. What you should have is one of these

It's a standard design used in all models of Jaguar and many Fords, Mazda and probably Volvo. Stacks of used ones on ebay

 

Hi Astromorg - Thank you for the link, I will give it a try; once again, Thank you for your assistance
