• stable detection of obstacles within the typical range used in BMW PDC systems,
• compatibility with the factory parking control unit software,
• proper communication with the vehicle's wiring without the need for modifications.

As a component from the Other category, the sensor can be used for standard replacement of a damaged part or for completing a kit to retrofit a parking system, provided the vehicle's wiring is prepared for it.

The offered sensor is from the BMW group and is a used part, allowing for economical repairs while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications. Choosing parts from disassembly is a good solution for drivers who want to maintain component consistency in their vehicle while controlling service costs.

The main advantages of using an original PDC sensor include:

• factory fit for the vehicle's electrical system and control unit,
• preservation of the parking system's original performance characteristics,
• consistent bumper appearance due to color matching the body paint.

Installation and Service Aspects

The PDC parking sensor is installed in the prepared bumper socket using the factory bracket.
