Tight spaces, narrow streets, awkward reverse angles—parking isn’t always as effortless as we’d like it to be. It’s no surprise, then, that more than half of Brits (57%) say parking sensors would be their top optional extra, according to YouGov. These systems have become one of the most sought-after features in modern vehicles, helping drivers park more safely, avoid costly bumps, and even boost resale value in the process.
If your Mercedes wasn’t fitted with parking sensors from the factory, retrofitting them is a smart, straightforward way to bring it up to modern safety standards. At Braybrooks, we install OEM-grade parking sensor systems across a wide range of Mercedes models, delivering clean integration and performance that feels factory-fitted—because it practically is.
Why Retrofitting Parking Sensors Makes Sense
You don’t need to buy a brand-new car to enjoy modern driver assistance features. Retrofitting parking sensors gives you a smarter way to drive and park – without changing the car you already love.
Here’s what you gain:
- Improved Safety: Sensors detect people, pets, walls, bollards, and other vehicles – reducing the risk of low-speed collisions in busy areas or when reversing.
- Better Manoeuvrability: Front and rear sensors provide real-time feedback, helping you gauge distances with precision when parking in tight spots or pulling into garages.
- Reduced Repair Costs: Minor scrapes and dents can be expensive. With sensors giving you early warning, it’s easier to avoid the bumps altogether.
- Increased Confidence: Whether you’re a confident driver or a cautious one, parking sensors provide that extra layer of reassurance – especially in unfamiliar places.
How Our Mercedes Retrofit Parking Sensors Work
Our parking sensor kits are OEM or OEM-equivalent, meaning they’re built to integrate seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing systems – no sticking aftermarket sensors onto bumpers, and no compromising on aesthetics.
Depending on your model and preference, we can retrofit:
- Rear Parking Sensors: Activated when reversing, providing audible and visual warnings as you approach obstacles.
- Front + Rear Sensors: Ideal for city driving and complex manoeuvres, with automatic activation at low speeds.
- Display-Linked Integration: Where compatible, visual guidance is shown on your infotainment screen or dashboard.
We ensure all sensors are colour-matched and flush-fitted, so they look and feel like a factory-installed feature – no bulky add-ons, no wiring on show.
