Parking sensors.

doctor46goat · Sep 21, 2017

I've had a search around, but can't really find much info on fitting genuine audi parking sensors, most of the posts are about the audi branded cobra kit.
Wondering if anyone has fitted the factory spec flush sensors/module etc and has a list of part numbers I'd need and any advice on how/where to fit it?
Even any links I may have missed when searching would be helpful!

Kufatec UK do the partial or full kit - it doesn’t list the individual part numbers sorry:

ETKA lists the parts here but check your model. http://www.oemepc.com/audi/part_sin.../919/subcategory/919020/part_id/275945/lang/e

Most of the parts are easy to get off eBay. I have rear sensors already but I’m not sure whether I need to upgrade the control unit or if my existing unit will accept the front too.

My precious A3, @Ash187 from Audi-Retrofits supplied and fitted for me.

Awesome, thanks for that samuelh_888!

Good starting point for me, plenty of info.
Only problem I've spotted so far at a quick glance is that the sensor retainers don't have a part number, guessing they must be bonded to the bumper at production?

Something like this will be fine but just trim I’d needed: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/282658356035

When you remove your bumper it’s pre-marked where the holes need to be cut. You need something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/142437509025 to cut the holes. NOTE, I’m not sure what size is required!

Let me know how you get on.

I think that's why the usual recommendation is the cobra kit. Why do you need to go oem?

I just prefer the look of the flush factory kit over the cobra, and was also thinking of possibly sorting out the optical display on the rns-e too.

Hmmmmm.... after reading through that they don't look too bad, definitely a lot less work!
cobra flush mount need a 17mm hole, anyone know what diameter the factory fitted ones are?
