I want to put back-up sensors (flush mounted in bumper) on my wife's 2005 Chrysler Town and Country with Stow-N-Go seating. Has anyone done this? Where should I put the control module? It just doesn't seem like there is any extra room in the cargo area behind the plastic trim panels posted_image . Also, how do you get the sensor leads from behind the bumper into the cargo area of the van to hook up to the control module? I didn't see any obvious cargo floor breaches. Thanks to anyone who can give me a little insight into this.

Check out www.echomaster.com They have a good system. The modules are very small and the cables are long so finding a suitable mounting location isn't hard. As for running cables, there should be grommets located in the body floor to allow safe passage of the wiring. Crawl under the van and have a look.

What is the easiest way to remove the right or left large plastic trim panels in the cargo area of the van? I figure the control box and buzzer can go behind there. I'm just not sure how to remove either one without breaking it. Any help would be great...thanks!
