Xantia II - audio update/s

EN
When I bought my Xantia few years ago, first thing I`ve done was to replace the head unit(old Sony) what previous owner used with Pioneer DEH-1500 and also the OEM speakers with Pioneer combined ones:

The unit choice was because the fact it has wire remote control. In other words - 3.5mm jack and easy way to connect your steering wheel sound control to it.

Replacing resistors on the OEM buttons and small mod on the tracks will give you chance to control your player. Even with that setup the car audio will be just fine.
Well, that was until this year. I decide to give little “boost” to the audio.

Xantia II - Parking sensors

EN
Device is from ebay, and work quite nice. For the price tag I`m more than happy with it.
What to do:
- remove rear bumper: that will cost little effort by removing all screws under rear fenders what keep it(if remember right was 2), inside the trunk, behind box compartment(2×10mm, if remember) and all other visible in the trunk area.
- already removed, you can see ready prepared channels for cables. In my case there was hole under left stop/indicator unit, and from there it goes inside horizontal profile right behind the trunk end. Unfortunately that mean you need to put the unit on left side and pull one wire to right because there is the reverse lamp signal wire, or to put it right side and extend the sensor cables(equally). Or like me.. just to drill hole where you need it

So, here is some pictures from the main event:
