    AUDI A3 8V Parking sensors retrofit guide (8k Front + Rear)

    It's been a while since I posted to this forum and I saw quite an activity on this thread so let me clarify a couple of things: I got my dropbox account reported/blocked due to some unscrupulous users (not from this forum) trying to make profit out of my guide thats why all the links are down...

    Retrofit puddle lights & door warning lights to 8V - help please.

    If you dont have rear door modules, you can always get +12V from the window motor and a switched ground from the door latch, try to do some research, there is a ton of info in the first pages of this thread...

    AUDI A3 8V Parking sensors retrofit guide (8k Front + Rear)

    My experience is that I havent had much luck sourcing parts individually, specially wiring harnesses and price-wise you can either land very good deals or spend the same money plus the hassle of trying to get every piece; I've seen front only PDC kits from Aliexpress and they come with...

    Retrofit Interior Footwell Lights

    I believe they go into connector T73C on the onboard supply control unit (J519), minor coding is required to enable them.

    Fitting airbag cover?

    I did change an airbag cover for a friend of mine, he had the 4 spoke steering wheel and got a deal on a 3 spoke with paddle shifters, so instead of sourcing an entire round airbag, we just swapped the covers as airbag itself was the same. No coding nor special tools were required, just the...

    AUDI A3 8V Parking sensors retrofit guide (8k Front + Rear)

    They came with the kit I bought, I believe I got it from Aliexpress, sadly don't recall the seller.

    Reverse camera

    Mine was a saloon but it was just a matter of removing the 2 bolt nuts, uncliping the center clip and pushing from the inside while squeezing on the sides, if you look into the new handle (the one with camera) you will be able to see the clips/notches holding the handle in place.

    Reverse camera

    It should just pop out by moving the tab (it will push against MMI and pop the quadlock): Try to wiggle it a bit once the tab is moved (once again not my pic :)) Cheers!

    Reverse camera

    Yes, for the sportback I believe it should be just above the wheel well Not my image :)

    Reverse camera

    Yes, they should fit just fine, the kit I installed a while ago did have the same connectors, I believe they exist just to simplify or have a more "elegant" way to tap into the Canbus signals without splicing cables.

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    I dont believe I have (remember I did 8K sensors not 12K). Also you might be missing some coding as 12K PLA sensors do require to code some extra stuff at brake, steering, engine instrument channels (thus some of the errors of your full scan), I did also notice that your 10 channel long code...

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    Yeah, PDC sensors won't come on if speed is higher than set on "switch off speed" setting: If both "park assist speaker" and "rear park assist speaker" output to your front speaker, there might be something wrong with your connections, as they should output one or the other. PDC sensors won't...

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    Yes, Im able to change the freq and volume for front and rear speaker individually via the MMI menu; I would suggest you to check the connections of the rear buzzer at the 26pin wiring loom from the PDC module, and test the output of the speaker: For MIB2 coding should be the same, front...

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    Are you able to set the rear volume via MMI? maybe its very low or turned off. Regarding coding this is what I needed for the 5F adaptation channel: IDE04307-ENG117710-Vehicle function list BAP-parking_assist_0x0A → activated IDE04307-ENG117711-Vehicle function list...

    Pre facelift halogen to xenon headlights

    Indeed, its quite a gamble with these chinese parts, you might get something good or some crappy stuff; at least for my mate who got them, they are still going strong after a year or so since he changed them (no electrical issues, no condensation, UV protect seems to esist) so maybe he was...

    Pre facelift halogen to xenon headlights

    I know there are some china replicas (Aliexpress) for the PFL A3 bi-xenon headlights that will work with the original halogen setup (10 pin connector, non high BCM, no level sensor,etc), in fact I know a guy who did install them, just dropped down the front bumper and plug them instead of the...

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    For PLA you will need to add 8 PDC sensors: 4 into the front bumper (red) and 1 into each corner of the front and rear bumpers (yellow): The ones at the bumper corners have a different mount size with a color matching bracket. Regarding wiring, a while back I compiled this table; it list the...

    Audi A3 Front Sensor Retrofit

    Front buzzer is located near the parking sensor module, by the main fusebox, there is a space where the buzzer is tucked into place (hopefully the image makes it clear): Regarding the ABS sensors, you will only need to replace them if you are planning on installing full 12K OPS (12 sensors...

    Pre facelift halogen to xenon headlights

    I believe they won't work without proper coding as light functions channels are assigned different between Xenon and Halogen headlights, besides you would have to re-wire the headlight connectors from stock 10pin to a new 14pin, it's an involving job but not impossible.
