    Hi,
    Just a question that I can't seem to find a conclusive answer for online so I thought I would ask here.
    I'm looking at buying a Passat but I was wondering what models have rear or front parking sensors from 2005 to 2007 models (base, sport, highline)?
    Any help gratefully appreciated as I just can't seem to find a definite answer?

    I'd say you would be lucky to get any Passat with factory fitted parking sensors back then, probably even on the options list for the top Highline model. I wouldn't get too bogged down about them, they can be retrofitted these days for reasonable money anyway.

    retrofitted my own set of parking sensors to my wifes car today. Got lucky because her car is white, and white is white is white. Similar handiness for black cars too, no messing with colour coding.

    This is what I bought:

    Some simple soldering, and bravery taking the bumper off and drilling into it was all that was required. Took about 3 hours in total maybe. I gave em a quick test before and after drilling and they seem good. Fingers crossed everything says in place (3M tape holding things on)
