Front Sensors Parking Retrofit

[JJLA]

Hi, I have a A3 Sedan 1.8 Ambition 2015 that came with rear sensors. I’ll active the Parking Aid VIA VCDS to show on the MMI.
A forum friend found this on AliExpress:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/OEM-...PS-for-AUDI-A3-5Q0-919-294-E/32465129288.html

Is it the same from this bellow?

I want also to retrofit rear camera with dynamic guidelines to use with the rear and front sensors, like this:



Do you guys have any advice?

Yes.

Do a forum search, you'll find lots of threads

Yes.

Do a forum search, you'll find lots of threads on both the sensors, and camera.

Eg:

Thanks, i know that sometimes sounds like laziness but I did all the possibles searches on the Forum.
I found many things about the rear camera. But nothing about retrofitting the front parking sensors for cars that came with the rear one.

Rear camera looks do-able but I'd imagine the biggest challenge on the fronts is getting the holes in the front bumper and also the grille in the first instance before any wiring or coding.

The Control Unit numbers is different from the sensors sold on AliExpress and OEM sites.
Ali Express: 5Q0 919 294 E
http://www.carsystems.pl 5Q0 919 294 B
http://vagtec.co.uk 8F0 919 283 C

What is the difference?

The guys from Ali said that i can also retrofit Park Assist

"Front sensor+ PLA2.0, then you can wait in payment page. We will change price to USD415"

I think anything is possible the question becomes if the time and outlay is it worth it.

I would certainly look for OEM components before considering anything else. Presume you're having the sensors painted up body colour ?

I'm from Brazil and here it's difficult to do retrofit like this on my town, so i have to buy it overseas.
At Ali they do not provide painted sensors. I spoke with local Audi and they can provide the right color to paint.

I am considering buying on the Ali because they provide the dashboard buttons and they have the Park Assist.

it look original considering that aliexpress hardly sell oem stuff for cars, the only problem from Aliexpress is they take around 25-40 days to ship....i have bought few stuff for my car as well like silicon/leather key covers and mmi ami cable....will u have to make holes in ur oem grill or u have to buy pre-hole grills from Audi the price look great as they are giving with dashboard with park assist buttons

Does someone knows how to activate (VCDS) the front parking sensors after the retrofit?

 

[Pureangel]

Basic MMI Navigation with rear parking sensors here.

I would like detailed instructions as to which part number fits for the front parking sensors and also VCDS or ODIS coding please.....

Also do I need the switch parking button retroffited as well I think correct?
