Good evening. Was wondering if any US fL5 owners attent to install factory park sensors? I know the bumpers are different but the electronics, is this a plug and play or does it involve a lot of wire harnesses?

the USDM, the parking sensors were saved for the Integra Type S. I assume for the FL5, you'd need to get new bumpers, the sensors, and then likely have the functionality coded to your ECU. My guess is honda likely has the code embedded. It's probably just feature locked.

I bet we will find that the Type S might plug right into some sub-harness or module. It could take some time until someone decides to try it.

You would have to drill holes in your bumper. Personally I don't find parking sensors worth how bad they make the front and rear bumpers look.

For what it's worth, the parking sensors in my DE5 were less reliable than my '23 A-Spec + Tech Integra--same garage, different cars, but much tougher to align using the sensors. I assumed it was from the sensors being rearranged for the extra ventilation.

Any chance you'd be willing to make a guide? I feel like outside of Mikstore's instructions theres no writeup on wire routing etc. Not sure how straightforward it is so scared to take the plunge and drill my bumper.

I will. I need to readjust the front sensors and I can then take pics and post the do’s and don’ts. Drilling the bumper is easier that you think. You only drill the pilot hole to fit a punch tool. It cuts a perfect circle and folds the paint at edge of circle to make it look flawless.

It’s oem. Apparently in other markets this is a dealer option to be installed at dealer. It does everything a factory park sensors would do. That is the only reason I got it.

I just got the kit from Mikstore. The sensor is painted and does match in championship white. Now i dont know where the little box hook into and where the harness for the canbus is. I also just got my 2026 delivered.

Shipping took a month from order to clear customs and got to my home in Florida.

Better instructions for the wire routing would be much appreciated if you're able, @kobi2002.
