Land Rover Discovery L550 Rear PDC Parking Sensor Black Primed FK72-15K859-CA

Land Rover Discovery L550 Rear PDC Parking Sensor Black Primed is an original component from the Parking sensors group, designed for operation in the rear zone of the vehicle. It ensures precise obstacle detection during maneuvering, assisting the driver in safe parking and reducing the risk of bodywork damage. Thanks to the black primed finish, the sensor can be aesthetically matched to a specific bumper configuration.

Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented rear PDC sensor has been designed specifically for the Land Rover Discovery L550 model, taking into account the bumper geometry and the characteristics of the factory parking assistance system. It operates in the rear part of the vehicle, monitoring the space behind the car and transmitting a signal to the driver warning system. This makes reversing maneuvers more predictable and significantly reduces the risk of contact with obstacles. As an element of the parking system, the sensor works with other sensors and the control unit, creating a coherent obstacle detection system. Properly matching the operating parameters to the Land Rover specification allows for maintaining operational stability and repeatability of readings under typical operating conditions.

Color, finish, and priming

The sensor features a Primed finish, which means it is factory-prepared for painting. Such a surface facilitates achieving a uniform visual effect with the bumper – both in the case of standard body colors and more demanding configurations. The matte black serves as a neutral base on which a painter can apply the correct color layer according to the vehicle's paint code. With proper preparation and painting, it is possible to maintain a consistent aesthetic of the rear bodywork, without visible differences in shade or gloss between the sensor and other bumper elements. This is particularly important in premium class cars, where attention to visual details is of great importance.

Mounting characteristics and vehicle integration

The rear PDC sensor is structurally adapted to the factory mounting points in the Land Rover Discovery L550 bumper. The properly selected housing geometry and mounting method allow for stable seating of the sensor in the socket, which limits the risk of looseness and unwanted vibrations. Correct placement on the vehicle is crucial for maintaining the proper operating angle and detection range. The element should be mounted in the rear zone of the vehicle, in accordance with the factory sensor layout. Thanks to this, the parking system maintains the warning characteristics intended by the manufacturer – both in terms of distance and the method of acoustic or visual signaling.

Condition, origin, and service application

The offered sensor comes from the used parts group, which makes it an attractive solution for post-accident repairs, bumper service, or restoring full functionality of the parking system after a single sensor failure. Choosing an original component from the same product line as the factory equipment promotes compatibility with the electrical installation and the vehicle's control unit. Such a solution is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain consistency with the factory Land Rover configuration, without the need to adapt universal replacements. A used element allows for reducing repair costs while maintaining the correct operating parameters of the parking assistance system.

Selection support and additional information

When selecting a parking sensor for the Land Rover Discovery L550, it is crucial to pay attention to the placement on the vehicle, color, and compatibility with the factory PDC system. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the housing shape and connector type with the element currently installed in the vehicle or consulting a service specializing in the Land Rover brand. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the parking zone in your Land Rover and need other elements from the same group, such as additional sensors, mounting elements, or detection system components, check the available parts in the Land Rover Parking sensors category. To better assess when choosing a used sensor is justified and how to safely select vehicle electronics elements, it is worth reading the guide: Second life of electronics – when is it worth choosing used engine controllers, comfort modules, and parking sensors?
