Has your vehicle got 4 little discs the size of a penny along the front and rear bumpers? and a little push button switch on the dashboard just in front of the drivers left knee? |

Parking sensors only came out on the 120 model in 2006, and only on the front bumper.
Cheers

Mine also has factory fited sensors both front and rear. It's a March 06 LC4.
I was under the impression that they were fitted to all 120s after early 06, or at least LC4 and 5 anyway.
I have to say that it's the rear sensors that I find the most useful. They also seem to be unaffected by the fitting of the tow ball which is handy. _________________ Rick |

Not possible as far as I know, but I stand to be corrected.
Maybe turning the stereo down a little would have the overall same effect _________________ Rick |

Yes you can fit them and Toyota have them available. A lot of work though, as I had a peep at the installation instructions. _________________ '04 KDJ120R LC5. Died 17th Dec 2010. RIP. |

I must admit, I may retrofit them.
I have twice almost imprinted 'B.F.Goodrich' on the bonnet of the car behind me.
In Oslo, the trye just touched the bonnet but nothing more.

Then there is the tow bar, but thats a mean ugly looking thing, |
