Purpose and function of the PDC set

The presented set includes two rear parking sensors that work with the factory PDC system in BMW F20, F21, and F22 models. These components are responsible for precisely detecting obstacles in the rear zone of the vehicle, assisting the driver when maneuvering in tight parking lots, underground garages, or while reversing in confined spaces. By using original components, proper communication with the vehicle's electronics and accurate interpretation of acoustic and visual signals are maintained.

Color matching: Mineral White Metallic - A96

The sensors are finished in the Mineral White Metallic - A96 shade, allowing them to be aesthetically integrated into a rear bumper painted in the same color. Eliminating the need for additional painting reduces installation time and costs while minimizing the risk of shade discrepancies. For users who value visual consistency, this is a particularly beneficial solution, as the sensors remain virtually invisible, preserving the vehicle's factory character.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The set is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the factory-designated spots in the bumper. This placement ensures optimal coverage of the area behind the car and proper operation of the PDC system. Using original mounts and connectors allows for installation in the standard BMW electrical configuration, without the need for wiring modifications or interference with the bumper structure. This solution is particularly convenient for workshops and users expecting a hassle-free replacement.

Characteristics of the used product

The offered set comes from the Parking sensors group and is a used item, meaning it was previously in operation in a vehicle. Such components are often chosen as an economical alternative to new parts while maintaining compatibility with the factory system. A used set of two sensors allows for the replacement of a pair of elements in the rear zone, which is beneficial for repairs after minor collisions or in situations where multiple sensors have failed at the same time.

Benefits of using original BMW sensors

Using original PDC sensors in the BMW F20, F21, and F22 ensures stable operation of the parking assistance system and accurate distance scaling to obstacles. Factory components are designed with the specific geometry of the bumper and controller algorithms in mind, which reduces the risk of false alarms or blind spots. For the user, this means predictable operation of the reversing assistant, better control over the vehicle in tight spaces, and greater comfort in daily car use.
