Purpose and function of the PDC sensor

The presented PDC parking sensor is designed as a component of the factory BMW parking assistance system. It is responsible for generating and receiving ultrasonic waves, which allow the system controller to calculate the distance to obstacles and provide the driver with acoustic or visual signals. The applied technology ensures repeatable performance under typical operating conditions, such as maneuvering in garages, underground parking lots, or narrow streets.

Thanks to its compatibility with the factory installation, the sensor works with the original wiring harness and control module, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of system errors. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a damaged component in an existing PDC system.

Color and body integration

The sensor is finished in Alpine White 3 - 300, allowing for a seamless match with BMW bodywork painted in this color. Choosing the right color is not only important for aesthetics but also for practical reasons – a properly integrated component does not disrupt the lines of the bumper and does not require additional painting after installation.

Such a finish is particularly important during post-accident repairs or when replacing a single sensor, when maintaining a uniform appearance of the entire bumper area without visible shade differences is desired.

Product characteristics and installation

The offered PDC sensor is a BMW part, prepared to work in the factory parking system of the given model. The design is intended for installation in the original bumper socket, which allows for maintaining the correct working position relative to the ground and obstacles. Proper seating is crucial for the correct interpretation of signals by the controller.

The item is in Used condition, meaning it comes from disassembly and may show signs of previous use, yet it retains the functionality necessary for further operation. This type of part is a good choice for an economical repair of the PDC system when the priority is to maintain the original specification at a reasonable cost.

Benefits of using an original PDC sensor

• Factory fit for the BMW PDC system – compatibility with the installation and controller.
• Finished in Alpine White 3 - 300 – aesthetic integration with the body paint.
• Possibility of economical parking system repair while maintaining original technology.
• Reduced risk of system errors compared to replacements with uncertain parameters.

Technical support and additional information

When selecting a parking sensor, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version and the PDC system configuration (number of sensors, placement, integration with the visualization system). In case of doubt, comparing the housing design and connectors with the element currently installed in the car may be helpful.
