Dolphin DPS450 in Gloss Black Fitted to 08 Mondeo Edge

Installation of sensors and units was no problem, however wiring up the power wire to reversing lights was a real problem, as the Mondeo’s reversing lights are in the hatch. Tried accessing via the flexi-cable at top of hatch, but that failed, so I ended up leading the +/- wire right into the hatch and into the light connector behind the LH light .
Image below shows tape on bumper to both check position and height, plus to avoid drilling errors & slippage. Great hole saw supplied, fit was exactly as it shoud be, a good push fit.
The image below shows the sensors fitted, this part was very easy, and the wires routed under the car into the spare wheel well through a grommet already there. Plenty cable to spare. However, labels came off too easily.
The image below shows the wires coming up to the unit from the spare wheel well – and what I thought was the reversing light cluster – WRONG!
Proximity display installed in a neat space in front of the gear level, just right, in view but out of the way. Wires were fine in length and leading them trough was relatively easy
The image below shows the main box unit installed in the hatch under the LH side parcel shelf support. Good easy stiction, out of the way for boot loading
"In short, apart from the +ve lead hassle which is a Mondeo reversing light position problem, installation was easy, and this product is highly recommended."
