OEM front parking sensors

[daronnn]

Hi, Does anyone know if the mazda original parking sensors (at the front) are switched off while the vehicle speed is above some speed? Do somebody has connection diagram?

What year? I have a '12, and no parking sensors were available in the US. didn't think they were added for '13 either, at least, not in USA.

On some luxury models, front ultrasound sensors are activated when
1. speed is below X mph
2. brake pedal is pressed
No such sensors are available in US for CX9.

If they are installed as aftermarket accessories (such as parts from eBay), usually #1 does not apply.
They activate when brake pedal is pressed.
(i.e. brake light signal as trigger)

I'm from Europe, 2010 year. In Europe we have OEM parkign sensor set, mazda part number TG31‐V3‐920 which can be instaled in car and which I think was instaled in my car (I bought the car from another owner). In the rain, regardless of the speed sensors are working and beeps.

When I searched for that part number, only the tow bar came up, at least on the English pages I saw. As an aside, wouldn't a camera on the front of the car be just as or more helpful than sensors?

I would rather have front camera if possible. Ultrasound beeps constantly within 1 ft. That is very useless in close parking situation.
This is an interesting project.

If one can get a video switcher and an OE camera installed at the front grille.
I can switch video to the front camera with a flip of a switch and display it on the MFD screen.
Backup trigger wire needs to be switched as well....
Sorry. This is getting side-tracked.
