Retrofit 360° PDC without PLA on T6

[Jan_B]

Hello,

I'm currently retrofitting the 360° OPS view in my T6 without PLA.

Ciclo demonstrated how to do it in his Polo.

https://uk-polos.net/viewtopic.php?

Now I'm facing a problem...

When the sensors aren't connected, I get the 360° OPS view in Discover Media.


However, as soon as the sensors are connected, the view disappears and the normal 8K view appears.

Wirring loom and sensors aren’t faulty.
Each sensor gets +12v and signal.
Vdcs shows the distance of each side sensor corretly!

The fault memory is empty except for the known steering column fault.

Maybe one of you has an idea…
Where is the small change to get the view in Discover Media...?

 

[Jan_B]

Driving forwards and backwards does the magic!
360° OPS view don't display without driving!
Problem solved…

 

[Robert]

Congratulations, well done

 

[Jan_B]

Now 360° PDC without PLA is done

Thank @Robert for the exchange and the ideas we discussed together.

 

[Robert]

@Jan_B being a pioneer is a privilege. Great work! Once the Electric Power Steering retrofit is complete, the PLA will function naturally as part of the new system

Purchased on eBay:


Once received:


It landed on the table:


Got it flashed to 1K8 919 475D:


Uploaded CADDY MAXI data set:


Caddy Maxi MK4 dimensions are the closest to T6 SWB so PLA/360° PDC should function in the most accurate way.

It has only 6mm longer wheelbase and 30cm wider turning circle.

I installed the Caddy Maxi data set last friday too.
I think it works perfectly!
The grey and red bars displayed correct distance between obstacle and vehicle in Discover Media.
Also nice match with highline RVC system



I will compile the correct pin assignments in a table and make it available here; I hope tomorrow

 

[Jan_B]

Here are partnumbers that I used:

- PLA unit: 1K8919475B flashed to 1K8919475D with Caddy MAXI data set
You can also use 5Q0 unit like @Robert


- Front sensor brackets satin black: 7LA 998 399 9B9 (only satin black available)
- Rear sensor brackets satin black: 7LA 998 397 B
or
- Rear sensor brackets primed: 7LA 998 397 B GRU

- Seals black: 5Q0 919 133
- Sensors rear side: 5Q0 919 475 B
- Sensors front side: 5Q0 919 497 B is original T6.1 but I used the same as rear!
If you are using the same sensors at the front and rear, you will need to cut off this small section from the front bracket:

I used them because I know that these sensors are working 100%.

- Connectors sensors: 4F0 973 703
- 10m wirring 0,35mm2 bl rear left
- 10m wirring 0,35mm2 gn rear right
- 10m wirring 0,35mm2 gr/bl front right
- 10m wirring 0,35mm2 vi front left
- for sensors +12v and ground I used red and brown wires. Power supply I got from the other PDC sensors
- Mcon 1.2 pins with seals for PDC connectors
- MQS 0,35 pins for original PDC connectors for PLA unit
- 1N4007 Diode for PLA button trick

Mounted sensors in brackets:

Pin assignments for PLA unit with adapter wirring harness MQB to PQ

The green lines are the new wires in original PQ connectors.
My Ali Express adapter wiring harness MQB/PQ is fully occupied.
The PLA button wire goes from 9 with diode to ground.
I'm not sure whether the sensors are powered by terminal 15 or terminal 30; I've labeled them as terminal 15.
+12V and ground are already taken from the existing sensors anyway.

Yesterday I found these parts on Ali Express…

Perhaps this adapter could be used to avoid cutting the original PDC sensor wirring!
You can make a small Y wirring loom.
For me too late but maybe for you a good choice

Over the weekend, I got a second bumper—this one from a Highline Multivan—and upon closer inspection, I realized that it differs from the Transporter bumper. The space available for the PLA sensor is significantly smaller than on the Transporter bumper—but see for yourselves.

Transporter bumper:


Highline Multivan bumper:

On the Transporter bumper, there is much more vertical clearance; consequently, on the Highline bumper, the PLA sensor can only be mounted at the same height as the existing PDC sensors.
The holder would need to be adjusted slightly for this.

 

[Jan_B]

Today I did some tests with multivan bumper…
With this position, the PLA sensor is positioned centrally relative to the existing PDC sensors.
The curvature of the aperture in the lower right section is quite pronounced. It might be better to adjust the dimension by 1–2 mm or to modify the mount slightly further.
The dimensions are measured from the outer edges.
I definitely really like the positioning—at the same height as the other sensors.
@Robert let me know where you plan to place the sensors. You might find an even better position.

Extra sensors installed, wiring loom ran.

And rear:



To be completed soon ...
