V8V Parking sensor module location
Discussion
Would anyone know how to remove the rear trim and carpet to access the module ? Just had a look and there's a number of screws etc that look like they could be part of the jigsaw that makes it all up, but from past experience of working on cars, I've learned that it's much wiser to ask before taking everything out.
I've removed the silver bar that the parcel shelf mounts under and then decided to seek assistance ! It's a bit cramped behind the passenger seat, so the less time spent undoing stuff the better.

Well - 5 hrs in, one crocked back and a scratched bit of rear trim, I can report that I couldn’t find the parking sensor module under either the subwoofer enclosure or under the battery, both of which were reported in online posts I’d found.
Back to square one and will have to call on the chaps at AML Performance for guidance.
That battery is bl00dy heavy...

Found it eventually !
Having taken everything apart again (I can do it in 20mins now) I still hadn’t located the module, so put a call in to Mark at AML Performance. He was on the road but promised to call back when he got to the workshop.
True to his word he called back at 5.45pm on a Friday evening and together with Adam pointed me in the direction of the plastic shroud, under the carpet, under the driver’s seat.
There it was - a Jaguar XF part. Ordered a used, tested one from eBay for £16 posted, so will report back on whether it works or not. Apparently they’re common across many Ford, Jag, LR and Aston. Mark did advise that it may need configuring in AMDS as would a brand new Aston part, but will see how we get on.
Could be another one for the Alternative Parts sticky.
