    I have them on mine and after 27,000 miles I find that I seldom remember to use them. When parking, driving forward into a parking spot, you must remember to press the button above the center mirror to turn them on. The only time I hear from them is when I put it in reverse, then the front sensor is so sensitive that it seem to warn you for nothing. In fact if you are reversing, why do you need the front sensor warning you? So, when I reverse I usually turn the front off right away.

    Given that, I probably don't need it at all. After this many miles I know exactly where the front is and park without it. I did order the front sensors though in my 2012 California which I ordered to replace this one, due to arrive in December when mine is two years old.

    Rick,

    You can turn the front parking sensors to come on automatically at low speeds all the time through the car set up menu on the TFT display.

    That is a personal preference. I did not get it on my spec. I may get it on the 458.
