Application and BMW Compatibility

The BMW F20 F21 F30 F31 PDC Parking Sensor Grey is designed as a factory parking system component for select BMW F Series models. Its construction, compliant with the manufacturer's solutions, ensures correct operating parameters such as sensitivity, obstacle detection range, and communication with the PDC control module.

The sensor is intended for installation in the bumper, in the location designated by the vehicle manufacturer. The proper fit of the housing and the correct shape of the connector socket facilitate installation and minimize the risk of leaks or mounting looseness.

Construction, Color, and Visual Match

The sensor housing is finished in silver, allowing for an aesthetic match with silver and light-colored bumper paints or factory trim strips. This ensures the component does not visually stand out from the bumper surface, keeping the PDC system discreet.

The original housing geometry ensures:

• correct sensor positioning relative to the surface,
• stable mounting in the bumper socket,
• maintenance of the appropriate working distance from obstacles.

Performance Parameters and Installation Benefits

As a component from the BMW line, the sensor works with the vehicle's factory software, minimizing the risk of system errors and incorrect readings. A properly functioning PDC sensor translates to:

• efficient obstacle detection during maneuvering,
• clear audible and visual signals in the cabin,
• increased safety when parking in tight spaces.

A used part allows for economical repair of the PDC system while maintaining the original technical specifications and vehicle system communication.

Condition, Installation, and Compatibility Verification

The sensor is offered as a used original part, meaning it comes from a dismantled vehicle and is intended for reinstallation. Before installation, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version and check its proper operation in conjunction with other PDC sensors.

Due to its OEM construction, installation is typically plug-and-play: once correctly seated in the bumper and connected to the harness, the sensor can be recognized by the vehicle's system without additional installation modifications.
