Hi,

I'm looking at buying the Acenta Premium and ive noticed that they don't have front parking sensors ideally I would miss the 360 camera from my J11 but I could get by with front sensors at least, does anyone know if a retrofit is possible or other alternatives?

Also, I thought that the J12's where DCT instead of CVT?

Thanks.

J12s are all CVT albeit it's apparently a different box to the J11s.

I know there are after market sensors available, not sure how they are fitted and I am sure it may mean drilling the bumper. Don't know about the gear box, but I have not had any problems with my current and last car both with CVT box, just make sure the oil is changed at about 40-50k miles

Sounds like the Accenta premium is the wrong version for you spec wise. An N-connecta would come with the front parking sensors and 360 camera I think.

The CVT box is brilliant not like the J11 in the slightest.

I have a 20 plate Acenta Premium and it does have front parking sensors and a rear view camera. Are you, perhaps looking at the Visia?

But isn't a 20 plate a J11? he's talking about the J12 Acenta Premium
