Application in Mini Parking Sensor System

The described injector harness connector is compatible with the electrical system responsible for the parking system in Mini models from the R50, R52, and R53 series. This component enables proper connection of wires to the sensors and the control module, which translates to:

• stable signal transmission within the PDC system,
• reduced risk of circuit interruptions due to loose connections,
• organized wire routing within the harness, consistent with the factory wiring layout.

By maintaining the original connector design, installation in place of a worn or damaged component proceeds in a predictable and repeatable manner, facilitating workshop operations.

Connector Design and Technical Characteristics

The harness connector has been designed as an electrical installation component for Mini, featuring a precisely shaped connector housing and wire routing within the harness. This solution allows for:

• precise positioning of the connector relative to the sensor or module,
• maintaining the correct strain relief direction for the wires,
• reducing mechanical stress at the connection point.

A harness configured in this way contributes to maintaining the correct electrical parameters of the system, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the parking assist system.

Benefits of Using an Original Mini Component

Choosing a component from the Mini brand ensures consistency with the manufacturer's original solutions. In practice, this means:

• connector geometry compatible with factory parking sensors,
• appropriately selected wire length and cross-section in the harness,
• easier identification and diagnostics during future service work.

For workshops and users, this translates to a lower risk of fitting issues and the ability to maintain the original standard of the installation.

Component Condition and Practical Installation Tips

The product is sourced from disassembly and is offered as a used part, providing a cost-effective solution while retaining the original construction. Before installation, a standard check of the contacts and wire insulation is recommended, followed by making connections according to the service documentation for the specific Mini model.
