Purpose and function in the vehicle

The sensor is designed for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the bumper, where it is responsible for precise obstacle detection during maneuvering. It integrates with the factory BMW PDC system, working in conjunction with other sensors as well as acoustic and visual signals on the vehicle's screen. This solution allows the driver to reverse more safely, reduces the risk of body damage, and facilitates parking in tight spaces.

Color scheme and visual fit

The applied Karmesinrot - A61 color allows for the aesthetic integration of the sensor into a rear bumper painted in the same shade. As a result, the element does not visually stand out from the bodywork, and the entire rear section of the vehicle maintains a consistent, factory look. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or when replacing individual sensors, where maintaining the original BMW styling is a priority.

Technical characteristics and integration with the PDC system

As an item from the Parking sensors category, the product is adapted for operation in outdoor conditions, in an area exposed to moisture, dirt, and temperature changes. The sensor's construction is prepared for compatibility with the factory electrical harness and the PDC controller in the BMW F-series, which facilitates installation and limits the need for wiring modifications. Appropriate electrical and communication parameters allow for correct data exchange with the control module, ensuring the system maintains full functionality after the component is replaced.

Condition, origin, and service application

The offered sensor is a used part, making it an attractive solution for service repairs where a reasonable cost is important while maintaining original BMW specifications. Such components are frequently chosen when replacing individual damaged sensors, provided the remaining elements of the vehicle's PDC system are functioning correctly. In practice, this allows for restoring the parking assistant's efficiency without the need to invest in a complete new set.

Installation tips and part selection

Before installation, it is recommended to verify the sensor's compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version to ensure proper cooperation with the existing PDC controller. Replacement usually involves removing a section of the rear bumper or covers, unplugging the damaged element from the socket, and connecting the new sensor to the factory harness. After installation, it is worth performing a parking system test to confirm correct obstacle detection and uniform operation of all sensors in the rear zone of the vehicle.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the parking zone in your BMW and need other elements from the same group, such as additional sensors, mounting elements, or dedicated harnesses, check the available parts in the BMW parking sensors category.
