Retrofitting OEM park assist A4 B7

Davef · 01-09-2008, 12:57 PM

Hi Folks,

I am now reaching the final stages of a full front and rear retrofit of OEM park assist using kufatec looms and parts from Vagparts. The wiring is relatively straight forwards if a touch time consuming.

Does anyone know which (if any) code is needed to add PDC to the instrument CAN-Databus comfort Intallation list - Channel 061 instrument cluster?

As an example adding a trailer requires +00064 to be added so I assume there is a value required for the PDC controller to be recognised.

Many thanks,

Dave

The parking sensors on the B6/B7 A4 have no connection to the instruments or other system on the car so there's no recoding of them needed.

Thanks for that.

I assumed that because the PDC controlled connects to the convenience CAN (like the towing control unit and TPMS controller) that there would be a code needed like them to effectively tell the car that it is installed.

Should get round to connecting it up finally over the next few days so we'll see if it pops up when I scan the car.

That's so that it can get the ignition on and speed signals that it needs.
