OPS RNS-510 Installation Problems

Call around but the install is pretty involved, and don't forget to paint the sensors, some sellers offer to do it, it's cheaper than here if you are not going to paint them yourself.

Would installing this yourself void any part of a new car warranty?

the install basically involves removing bumper, drilling some holes and sticking the sensors into the said holes and running wires.
it wont affect anything mechanical. and the only thing electrical that it might effect is the stereo unit if u cut wrong wires.
they need to attribute ur rooting around with any failures

thought as much, am just worried about wiring into the canbus, as I also retrofitted my RNS510 i don't have to worry about that, but can't see why this would this be affected by it anyway

Sorry for reviving an older thread but just an update to this and as new people buy these cars and invariably want the same things

T-Era has offered me a front and rear OPS kit for AD$479 delivered with painted sensors which sounds pretty good to me. Does anyone know of any recommended installers in Melbourne who have done this before? Sounds like a bit of a PITA from reading this thread, would rather be paying someone by the hour who knows how to do it, rather that someone who is going to have to fumble around on my $$.

The kits been updated i guess and it includes the following which from what i read in previous pages, should work okay in my 04/11 6R Polo?

This sale includes:
PDC control unit (part no. 5K0 919 475 E);
4 parking sensors for rear bumper and 4 sensors for front bumper (part no. 4H0 919 275) (Diameter 1,8cm);
8 holders for parking sensors (for fitting into bumper, with 2 side tape, part no. 1Z5 919 491 C);
Wiring for sensors (conects parking sensors to PDC control unit; 2 separate wiring);
CAN BUS wiring (goes from front of car to the rear where PDC Control Unit is located);
2 beepers for audio signals (part no. 8E0 919 279).
1 button / switcher (part no.1K0 927 123 B OR 1Z0 919 281 B)

I got a R36 through Peninsula VW and got the RNS510 installed to replace the stock unit it came with... Anyway they couldn't get the optical parking sensor display to work with the OEM parking sensors(already installed) has anyone had this problem in their passat and was it fixable. Fairly disapointing to pay big dollars for the RNS510 when they can't even get it to tee up with the sensors.

I cant see why they would have issues, it should just be a case of ensuring that the OPS is enabled and the RNS will pick it up on the convenience bus and it should work. You would think that the dealer would be able to work it out. Did you/they manage to see OPS working on the RCD510 (that I imagine it would have come with)
