I must admit I wish I'd added them to the spec when I was sorting my deal.

Had the front sensors fitted,tad annoying that the interior isolate button is a stand alone and wasn't incorporated in one of the 'blank' spaces to the right...but they do work well and will help avoid any mishaps....hopefully!

Really? I'd of thought the blank spaces would of been the obvious location.

Just took delivery today of a CX-3 with front sensors (and the on screen graphic) and the button is round and fitted to the side of the steering column. Looks better than in the other image.

Sounds like they are changing things as they go. What image or graphic is on the display, and what does it show ?

Well, this is the upgraded front sensor system with graphic, around double the standard sensor cost - but IMHO it is worth it...

(BTW. not sure what I am doing wrong with the url here...)

I've got 'genuine' front sensors, do the business, but sound very excitable!

But on screen graphics! So wish I had that, very disappointed it wasn't available when I got mine in April, or was it and not told about it?

I've got the 'old' type on my car built in March and collected at the end of April. As Peter55 says, they are rather excitable!

I do wish the button was a 3 stage affair - off, middle 2 only on, all 4 on - so that when I drive my car in the garage I could put the switch in the middle position and thus only get the noise when the end of the garage wall gets too close

At present as soon as I get to the garage opening I get the noise starting despite the car being more of less in the middle of the gap, so I usually turn off the sensors and use a brick on the floor where I want the wheel to stop and thus prevent me getting too close to the end wall.
