I believe there was a topic or thread at this forum like some one has added front and rear sensors and also was going to do a push button start and keyless entry thing. Can't find it though.

Yep remove the driver side kick panel and that’s where it should be. I changed mine when I hooked my front park sense up.

Be forewarned if you are going to try and enable the setting in the BCM with the AE tool. I tried it and it did some weird things including turning the power fold headrest option on the radio and removing my cargo cam button and it still never correctly activated the sensors.

I got lucky I had all of the wiring in place since I had rear parksense from the factory. I just replaced my whole front bumper with one that had the sensors in it.The fronts work correctly but won’t show in the EVIC correctly. Couldn’t turn the feature on with AE, so I just use it as is.

Mine was activated by the dealer. The only thing they didn't want to do was heated/vented seats.

I'm in the process of finding out if I do need to add some wiring.
But I had the plug at the tail gate area for sensors, so I hope I have another end somewhere under the dash. But no luck yet.
I have a complete harness from the limited truck, And I'm cannibalising it time to time. So I hope to pull out needed wiring from it and add to my truck, basically the same way as I did to my heated/cooled seats.

It would be great if some one could take a picture where it's located.

Since I cant find another end of my parking sensors under the steering wheel, I'm going to do create it. In case I'm successful and everything works I will post it in DIY.
Fingers crossed.
