Park Distance Control / Optical Parking Sensors (PDC / OPS)

[markwid]

Taking my gti back to Derek Tom, he installed the sensors and wired it up but it didn't respond. I emailed the seller and he provided wiring info etc so will give it another crack Tom.

Share the wiring info...

HI all,

I am looking at getting some parking sensors fitted to my Golf Bluemotion and am thinking these look like the go:

Bosch - ParkPilot - Perfect Parking made easy

The only place in Perth that seems to do them is:

PEBCO Automotive

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these units?

Hey mate. Welcome to the forums. I've merged your thread with this existing aftermarket PDC thread. Have a look through, there may already be several suitable suggestions.

So the ops system that I bought is communicating with the controller but not with the car. This same system, someones elses that is, works in some capacity on a mk5, but my mk6 is causing issues.
Markwid however managed to get it working somewhat in his mk6.
I've emailed the eBay vendor requesting proper info or a refund. I'm left with 4 holes in my bumper now.
Derek at EA has a complete front and rear unit which he says will work but it's more expensive. I might as well just get that now and save the mucking around. Pretty annoyed, but what can u do.

Can you provide the info of the system that Derek is selling when you have the details? Thanks.

So no luck with Derek then? That's no good. I was hoping you would have a good story and an answer.

I have been doing some hunting around and all I can come up with is what EA have already tried. The seller for my unit gave me the Kufatec instructions through the car systems.pl website. The only additional info I can find is that there is an untick option in module 37 which is the nav unit to enable parking aid display and the options to enable in module 10.

Unfortunately I think I'm in the same boat as you walbjj. I'm going to see if I can get a refund on the eBay kit and order the sensors through Derek. My guess is they're buying the Kufatec kits, going by the price they quote and the location of origin, but Kufatec request a VIN on order so their kits should work out of the box.

at this stage no, but the thing that gets me is that the mk6 has a diff canbus interface to the mk5 so the mk5 should get better results. a member on the golfmk5 forums got his unit up and running, albeit not perfectly, but enough to be operational.
and markwid got his unit running on a mk6.
i got one last stab at it with derek as my car needs to get this water pump/ whistle issue looked at and then it goes in for my upgrades and derek will have another go at it with any new info that i can gather.
