Purpose and function of the PDC sensor

The presented PDC sensor is responsible for measuring the distance to obstacles during maneuvering, using ultrasonic waves to generate signals for the parking system. In conjunction with the vehicle's electronics, it enables information to be displayed on the screen and generates acoustic signals, facilitating precise parking in tight spaces.

The component is designed to work with the factory BMW installation, ensuring proper communication with the control module and other sensors in the bumper. This allows for the restoration of full system functionality after a collision, mechanical damage, or the failure of an individual sensor.

Jatoba Metallic color – visual matching

The Jatoba Metallic – B65 finish is essential wherever not only system efficiency but also the vehicle's exterior appearance matters. The painted sensor housing allows for:

• maintaining a uniform bumper surface without visible color differences,
• reducing the need for additional painting after installation,
• aesthetic matching to the factory BMW color palette.

As a result, the sensor is suitable for both post-accident repairs and replacing a single element in an already painted bumper.

Technical characteristics and installation

As part of an ultrasonic system, the sensor generates and receives waves that are then interpreted by the vehicle's control unit. Proper operation requires correct seating in the bumper socket and proper connection to the electrical harness.

During installation, it is worth paying attention to:

• a clean and undamaged socket in the bumper,
• the absence of corrosion and contaminants on the electrical connector,
• proper routing of wires to avoid tension and abrasion.

After installation, it is recommended to perform a parking system test using diagnostics or the vehicle's service procedure to confirm proper communication with the module and uniform operation of all sensors.

Condition of the item and practical application

The sensor is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical repair of the parking system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for local bumper damage, where only a single sensor needs replacement while the other system components remain functional.

Choosing an original PDC sensor in the correct body color reduces the risk of compatibility issues and eliminates the need to match aftermarket replacements. This allows you to quickly restore full functionality of the parking assistant and maintain a consistent vehicle appearance.
