Front and rear pdc buzzer locations ?

[Stevemcc]

Hi all can anyone help with locations of the buzzers for parking buzzers front and rear
cheers

Front is under the dash by the PDC module to the right of the steering wheel and the rear one is behind the passenger side B pillar upper trim.

You learn something every day here, I'd always assumed they came out of the speakers.

With front and rear sensors there are 2 speakers as @Deaky has said.
EDIT:
Removed my last sentence as this doesn't apply to T6.

And just in case it’s useful...here is what you are looking for. Picture cable shows it cable tied temporarily but it lives up inside the dash as @Deaky mentioned. It is screwed in (see holes on side of speaker in picture) and is a “lie on the back under the steering wheel, legs hanging out looking up contortionist manoeuvre“ to access

 

[Deaky]

And here is the rear

Edit: Looks like it’s behind the lower trim, not the upper.

Rears only still get their own speaker its just but in dash rather than b pillar

 

[Stevemcc]

Hi all,

New to this forum, I have a VW T6 transporter which has been converted to a Campervan.

The rear parking sensors have never worked so I thought I would try and fix it.
I’ve tested all the sensors and the near side isn’t working, I’ve tested the Voltage and it looks like the (middle) sensor cable is broken. I’m trying to trace back to the module but can’t find it.

I’ve removed the B Pillar covers, as advised in this chat, but nothing there.

Any help/ guidance would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks in advance

The PDC module is under the dash to the right of the steering wheel

Thanks Deaky

Any advice on why the middle cable on the sensor has no voltage, could it be broken or a faulty module?

The power pair to each to sensor is common and joined within the loom, the sensor return cable runs all the way back to the PDC module

Any advice on how I get the cover off under the steering wheel. I’ve removed the 2 x screws which secures the steering column cover, but do I just need to yank the black panel off?

Thanks

 

[Deaky]

You don’t need to remove that one. It’s behind the one with the light switch in.

Thank you
