Description
Volkswagen Scirocco Front and Rear Parking Sensors with Optical Display
Make parking and low-speed manoeuvring easier with a complete Volkswagen Scirocco front and rear parking sensor retrofit. The system uses original Volkswagen components and integrates with the compatible radio or navigation display to provide both audible warnings and a visual representation of nearby obstacles.
Eight colour-coded ultrasonic sensors monitor the areas around the front and rear bumpers. Therefore, the system helps you judge the available space when approaching walls, posts, parked vehicles and other obstacles that may be difficult to see from the driver’s seat.
In addition, the front and rear sensors produce different warning tones. As a result, you can quickly identify which end of the Scirocco is moving closer to an object. At the same time, the optical display shows the position of detected obstacles for more precise distance control.
The sensors sit flush within the bumpers and match the vehicle colour, so the completed retrofit maintains a clean, factory-style appearance.
Please note: this system must be ordered by VIN to confirm the correct components and compatibility for your vehicle.
How It Works
The system uses four ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper and four in the rear bumper. While Park Pilot is active, each sensor measures the distance between the vehicle and nearby obstacles before sending the information to the control unit.
When the sensors detect an object, the system produces an audible warning through the included buzzer. Initially, the warning tones sound slowly while the obstacle remains further away. However, as the Scirocco moves closer, the tones become more frequent.
Meanwhile, the compatible radio or navigation display shows a visual representation of the vehicle and indicates where the system has detected nearby objects. Because the front and rear sensors use different tones, you can also tell which end of the vehicle requires attention.
You can activate or deactivate the system through the dedicated park assistance button. Consequently, you can use the sensors whenever you need extra assistance in a garage, driveway or confined parking area.
