Im ordering 4 PDC sensors for my MSPORT bumper just to fill in the holes since my car didn't come equipped with PDC. for those who have removed or swapped bumpers how are the PDC's held in place? Do they snap in or do they install like parking/turn signals like push in and turn until they lock into place? Appreciate any input guys!

I recall it is just with the built-in double sticky tape.

I think they have small brackets that you need to buy separately to hold them in place.

Crap really? I'll try searching for those

Edit: found them on Turnermotorsport.com under "mounts for PDC" $39.99 for a set of 4. Looks like the PDC's are mounted into the holders but the holders looks to be glued or in some cases soldered as i seen YouTube videos showing how they're held in place

If your going to the trouble of adding the sensors why don't you just retrofit the whole system?

i would but after researching what i need i found the wire harness for like $300. the PDC module i need to buy was around $400 and i don't even have a back up camera if i wanted to add that to the list. it's only cost me $0 for turning my head around when backing up lol! i could use that money on other mods. i did mention it to the guy who's gonna paint my bumper and he said if he would seal up the holes that after a few years he can't guarantee it won't show small cracks or circles from where the holes were when the bumper shifts, bends, shakes and what not from normal wear and tear from driving

You can get aftermarket systems for a lot less which will look near identical in terms of the display on idrive...

To me the primary benefit to the camera is backing-up when I'm between a couple of large vehicles. Once the camera is clear of their rear bumpers the camera has about a 180º view which I can't see.
