Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented PDC sensor is designed to operate in both the front and rear zones of the vehicle, allowing for flexible application depending on the bumper configuration. The component works with the factory BMW parking assistance system, responsible for measuring the distance from obstacles and transmitting the signal to the system controller. A correctly selected sensor ensures stable operation of the parking assistant, minimizing the risk of false alarms and system interruptions.

Color and visual fit

The finish in Callisto Grey Metallic - B64 allows for an aesthetic match to factory-painted BMW bumpers in this color. As a result, the sensor does not stand out from the bumper surface after installation, which is particularly important in premium cars where attention to detail is paramount. The selected finish reduces the need for additional painting and speeds up the repair or replacement process of the damaged component.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a component from the Parking sensors group, the PDC sensor is adapted to work in demanding operating conditions – in areas exposed to moisture, road dirt, and temperature changes. The design, intended for installation in the front or rear bumper, allows for use in various factory configurations of the BMW F10 LCI and F11. Proper seating in the bumper socket and connection to the vehicle's wiring allows for the maintenance of PDC system functions without the need to modify the harness or the controller.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered sensor is a used component, which represents a reasonable compromise between repair costs and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing a used OEM component allows you to maintain the integrity of the vehicle's electronic system while reducing expenses compared to a new part. This solution is particularly attractive for complex PDC system repairs, where several sensors are replaced simultaneously.

How to consciously choose used parking sensors

When selecting a used PDC sensor for a BMW, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the vehicle's factory system, its placement on the vehicle, and the paint color. Practical tips regarding the purchase of second-hand electronics – such as testing, compatibility, and installation methods – can also be helpful.
