PDC retrofit - module needs coding [Resolved]

[Van Buddy]

I’ve just retro fitted front PDC with parts from carsystems.
PDC not working back or front. Long beep the first time you try and use PDC.
Any suggestions ?

Full Scan would be helpful.
Where did you connect into CANbus?

 

[Van Buddy]

Full scan didn’t show anything. Carsystems instructions/loom had 2 wires that fit into 16 pin plug on original wiring to pdc module. I think it was pin 4 and 13

Full scan didn’t show anything.

I was thinking of comparing the codings as it seems not communicating with gearbox. And to see which modules are on line and happy.

2 wires that fit into 16 pin plug on original wiring to pdc module.

Actually I meant whereto it is connected in the van's CANbus as it seems to miss communication. It should be hooked onto powertrain bus (wires orange/black and orange/brown).

Have you changed the coding at all, I have a towbar on my van so that module is set up for that.

 

[Loz]

Have you added the module to the CANBUS Gateway module list?

He's changed from 4k to 8k @Loz It's my old module.

I have got vcds but new to it. The module is recognised. I’ve got a towbar fitted with PF Jones dedicated wiring.

Sorry guys, I do appreciate your help and I did miss a message from mmi.

Have you changed anything in the "Parkhilfe" settings yet? (because there's some bits to change there I believe)

Just reading through a manual (for VW Golf 7, but should be kinda similar...)

and maybe check the wire connections

Thanks for your help.

Back from work now so have more time.
Here is my scan. I have the scan with the 4k module fitted if needed.
Good luck

 

[mmi]

In module 10 select manual transmission, untick byte 1, bit 0.


EDIT: If you do not have rearview camera - also untick byte 0, bit 5.

 

[mmi]

I have the scan with the 4k module fitted if needed.

Would help to verify the above.

 

[Van Buddy]

I believe VW has an updated software for your engine - also in the UK.

 

[Van Buddy]

How do I go about getting the update, I guess I have to pay VW ?
Thanks for letting me know.

 

[mmi]

I'd guess VW would do that "free of charge" when van is serviced by them. At least that's how it works here in Finland.
Perhaps someone more local can confirm how it works in the UK.
