Park Assist 2 - Aftermarket install

[drad81]

The car has front and rear parking sensors std.

The main reason I ask is more for my wifes sake and the fact that there's a parallel parking option on the screen when you place the car in reverse just like PA2 has. It does everything the same as PA2 but turn the steering wheel

I believe its 2 extra sensors, new control unit, the PLA control unit and potentially a new ABS unit (one that has the capability of braking)

then a hell of a lot of VCDS coding.

I thought the driver controlled the braking?

From my handbook

The driver controls the accelerator, clutch, gearshift and brake.

There are 4 extra sensors on the car which look slightly different to the optical parking sensors. The sensors are all 15 mm diameter

Sensors at front and rear bumpers for distance parking







Sensors on side of bumpers front and rear for measuring parking space for size

Park assist 2 controls throttle, brakes and steers for you. drive only needs to engage reverse gear.

AFAIK there is version 1, 1.5 and 2.

perhaps yours is an earlier version.

I saw a skoda suberb on Saturday, he said he doesn't touch anything except putting it into reverse

Are these systems getting better these days? I'm aware that with the original park assist systems you still ran a risk of gutter rash on the wheels. I assume by now that this risk has (almost) been eliminated.

The Assist system in the Superb will touch the gutter if you let it. I'd like to se it more refined before I use it again.

It will apparently brake somewhat but not in all circumstances according to the next page of the handbook

Mine is Park Assist 2 and cost a heap of money so had better be the best one.

It was an $800 option for me but a 6 month wait for the colour scheme + Pano roof and sporks pack I wanted

From car pricing before I negotiated, RNS510,b Park Assist 2 & RVC $3600

Now you get the RNS 510 for free which is about what its worth as a mapping system

Your park assist 2 should do reverse perpendicular parking also.
