I found this a few years back for Bosch proximity sensors, but they are ultrasonic based. http://www.instructables.com/id/Hack...sors/?ALLSTEPS

I have a feeling that the amount of work put into getting a vehicle proximity sensor to work however wouldn't be worth it, the AM/KoP ultrasonic sensor would be much simpler to make work with the FRC control system. The only advantage that I can see with the Bosch vehicle sensors is the maximum distance which is more than twice the KoP sensor.
