Description
Volkswagen Transporter Front and Rear Parking Sensors with Optical Display
Make parking and low-speed manoeuvring your Volkswagen Transporter easier, safer and more precise with this complete Optical Parking System retrofit. The system adds Volkswagen Transporter front and rear parking sensors using original components and factory-style integration. As a result, you receive both audible warnings and a visual representation of nearby obstacles on the compatible navigation or radio display.
Because the Transporter is a larger vehicle, judging the front and rear corners can be difficult in tight spaces. This system uses eight ultrasonic sensors across both bumpers to help detect walls, bollards, parked vehicles and other obstacles that may be outside the driver’s direct view. Consequently, you can judge the available space more accurately when manoeuvring through garages, loading areas, narrow driveways and crowded car parks.
The sensors are colour coded and flush-mounted into the bumpers, helping the completed installation match the appearance of a factory-fitted system. In addition, the front and rear sensors produce different warning tones, allowing you to quickly identify which end of the van is approaching an obstacle.
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 eight ultrasonic sensors fitted across the front and rear bumpers. While Park Pilot is active, the sensors measure the distance between the vehicle and nearby obstacles before sending this information to the control unit.
When the system detects an object, it provides an audible warning through the parking buzzer. At first, the warning tones sound slowly while the obstacle is further away. Then, as the vehicle moves closer, the tones become more frequent.
At the same time, the compatible navigation or radio display shows a visual representation of the vehicle and indicates the position of detected obstacles. Different warning tones for the front and rear sensors make it easier to identify which end of the Transporter requires attention.
You can also switch the system on or off using the dedicated park assistance button, giving you convenient control whenever parking support is required.
