Purpose and Compatibility

The presented parking sensor is a component of the PDC system used in Mercedes C-Class W203 and E-Class W211 models. As part of original Mercedes-Benz OE components, it has been designed for full compatibility with the factory wiring harness, control unit, and vehicle software.

By maintaining the correct electrical and geometric parameters, the sensor ensures accurate obstacle detection and stable operation of the acoustic and visual parking assistance system, without the need for adaptation or installation modifications.

Color and Visual Fit

The finish in Cubanite Silver Metallic - 723 allows for an aesthetic integration of the sensor into the bumper paintwork, without the visible color differences typical of unpainted or universal parts. This is particularly important in vehicles where maintaining the original body appearance is crucial.

The factory-profiled housing facilitates installation into the prepared bumper slot, ensuring a stable fit and correct positioning relative to the body surface, which translates to proper ultrasonic operation.

Technical Characteristics and User Benefits

The sensor belongs to the group of electronic components responsible for measuring the distance to obstacles in PDC systems. The design is based on proven ultrasonic technology used as standard in Mercedes vehicles, allowing for:

• stable operation in typical operating conditions (city, parking lots, garages),
• compatibility with the factory control unit without the need to program replacements,
• maintenance of the original warning signal characteristics in the cabin.

As a used part, the sensor offers a cost-effective solution while maintaining the proper standard of execution and fit for the specific vehicle model. It is a practical alternative to new components, especially for routine parking system repairs.

Condition, Verification, and Practical Application

The offered sensor is a dismantled part and is classified as an original used part. Such components are often chosen for PDC system repairs as they allow for maintaining the vehicle's factory configuration while reducing service costs.

Before installation, a standard diagnostic procedure using an appropriate tester is recommended to confirm correct communication with the control module and to rule out other causes of system malfunction (wiring, control unit, mechanical damage to the bumper).
