Mazda CX-9
Now that the 2018 CX-9 has front parking sensors, does anyone know if it is available to be installed on 2016, 2017 models?

I'm guessing a retrofit could be done but the difficulty would depend on wether Mazda included a provision for such an addition in the existing wire harness and software. The sensors look to be the same button units found on the back and would require drilling four precisely placed holes in the front fascia. Finally, a new switch panel would need to be swapped in to include an on/off switch since the existing panel doesn't have any blanks.

It should all be there but more than likely a new switch to activate/deactivate in the CX-5's interior would need to be placed either on that panel or elsewhere
