Don't know about your cars....

I don't think even the high spec BRZs or the !0/Monogram/RS have them here.

Actually, I think it's a generic Toyota option.
The sensors look identical on all Toyota models, and the beeping sounds are identical too.
So the dealer probably just paint the plastic covers and install the same wires and stuff on all models

It's a crutch anyway; just like backup cameras, if you learn to drive properly you really don't need them.
(I used to say that about ABS back when only new&expensive cars had them. Changed my mind a few years later.)

I don't think the US version has the rear parking sensor, cause I checked on Build your Scion, and that's not even an option for the FRS, 2016 and up has a standard backup camera instead from what I heard.

I know that certain Toyota US model has that option tho.

So its probably everyone else except US options lol, good to know at least you guys had those option.

Those sensors are handy, the car is so low you could easily do some damage on a curb, and the front end is worse, I still park it and when I get out I notice that ive gone over the curb but luckily didnt hit the spoiler, I wish I had sensors at the front end as well, I asked but they looked at me like id landed from the moon so I assume no one has those

The rear bumper has since been taken off, repainted and re-coated with Ditec, and the sensors still work just fine.

Yeah I dont know what happened, I coated mine with another brand (trying to remember), but I think they repainted those sensor covers because I managed to change the whole TRD kit on the car since there was a slight difference in color, they sent me a new kit from Japan ( I actually saw the boxes), they repainted the sensor covers though to match the crystal white, looks great but im assuming thats the problem

People really have difficulty backing up to park a car this small?

I've had rentals with the annoying beeping. I'd rip that shit right out if it came in my own car.

Yeah, I guess a second coat of paint may be a problem.
The sensor covers should be cheap enough to start with a fresh set if the color doesn't match.

Who said anything about having difficulties? Are you barking up imaginary trees?

Ah, so that's what you came here to tell us. Good job.

just install your own backup cam
