Optical Parking Kit

[Lyons]

I got the wires connected in yesterday and the sensors work. Sadly they weren't able to get the display working in the rear as I believe all 8 are needed first.

So now I'm considering doing the fronts too.

Need to have another detailed read through your thread Si as I'd previously ignored any reference to the fronts!

[Pashka]

Why 8? If your ops module supports 4, when display should work. If your module is 8, but you wired 4, it should only beep loudly. I have only rear installed on mine  with OPS display and everything is working as it should. 

[Lyons]

Hmm, my module is 4. How did you get it displayed?

Would it depend on exact part number of the module? Maybe other revisions of gateway or conveinience module?

Have you coded it? And what's your gateway?

[Lyons]

I honestly don't remember, maybe an R or P. Is there a specific 1 that would work? Or is it down to where you code it or another module?

[Pashka]

If you had pdc before and went for OPS you have to change the coding, P can gateway is too old aswell. PDC is on the address 76, OPS is on 10, park/steer assist.

It's also on a different can network ,  pdc on convenience can,  ops on power train  can

The wiring is the main thing aswell, haven't mentioned, because it "must do"

I had nothing before.

What's the part umber of your ops module @Pashka ?

Lyons,

Did you manage to get the optical display working?

In order to get it working, you need to code the module (Park Assist - address 10).
In order to code the optical display setting, you need to get security access firstly to the controller.

Let me know if you need VCDS or anything and I can come help out. 

[Lyons]

Not yet, it was left that I have the wrong module I think. You said yours was an 8 sensor one? Do you know the part number?

I assume you got yours working then?

Yeah 8 sensor. Middle section has nothing plugged in.

I know you saw the part number from the other thread, but for continuity purposes for randoms searching the web.....



Were you able to gain access to the controller via VCDS or similar? That bit's the key. When I got mine connected up and before coding, it just had a loud beep when selecting reverse, but nothing worked with regard to the sensors.

[Lyons]

I didn't do the coding, so I'm not sure.

Sadly this is the only photo I have of mine and when I zoom in I cant make out the part number!



Maybe wouldn't do any harm to meet up and you can try and apply the same coding you have. I don't have VCDS to check the part number and I don't think its visible from where its installed!

[Rossimac]

To complete this thread, Lyons' Park Assist module hadn't been coded with optical display selected so while the sensors worked it wasn't being displayed on the RNS.

The fix was to gain Security Access to the controller first and then code the optical display feature.

Just a heads up for anyone finding similar problems.

[Lyons]

Yup, cheers for the help yesterday evening Ross- a gent!
