I think I don't have have any other choice than buying ODIS then! I'm looking on eBay to find a module, but it's almost impossible to be sure it comes from a Fabia... And if I buy 5 modules praying to have the right one, it will be really expensive. I've found an ODIS at 50€ on aliexpress. I might give it a go, unless you guys think about another solution. I will also call the nearest Skoda center from my home, but I know they won't be any help. Also we are confined at home and I'm afraid they will be closed. So, is ODIS my best shot? Is it easy to use and will I be able to flash the module in 3K version easily?

One more thing, how to find the proper workshop number in order to initialize a brand new uncoded module? I have two modules and would like to try the second one I have as it might be a 3K module. My VCDS doesn"t accept the coding with an error: Error 31: Request out of range - Coding Rejected. I sure this is realted with the workshop number as explained here: https://forums.ross-tech.com/index.php?threads/997/ I need to properly enter it. But I can't find how to find the right one..

OK, I understand now! Everything is properly plugged now, and I can communicate with the module. I have been able to look at the diagnostic page of the module in VCDS, and I have indeed Three of the four sensors responding, the other one is in ERROR State, normal I only have three.... which leaded me to understand there was a problem on the number of sensors handled by the module. Didn't knew there was different module and they are not compatible by just coding it and changing the number of sensors. At least, the cables are properly done. Everything is okay. I just need the right module! The good news for me is that I have another module to try out, but how to identify if this is a 3K or 4K module from the serial number? A 5Q0 919 283 F is a 4K module, That's OK, but how to find either a 7k or 3k one? What are the serial numbers I'm looking to, what is differenciating them, I will have a look on eBay when I'll know what to look at. Thanks again for your help @wirer, this is really appreciated. I was almost about to loose confidence on this, but you helped me regain it, and I know that I'm now almost there on my first "big" retrofit. edit: On your blog wirer, https://wirer.sk/f3_pdc-zadok/ the picture shows a module which is the same I have, I think this is where is my mistake, I just bought the same and wasn't looking at the fact there is mentionned "4k" onto it... I know, now where to look at. But is it the module you used in your car?

Hi Guys, Finally able to communicate with the Park Assist controller! I have done all the coding and the radio is displaying Park Pilot when engaging the reverse gear. But, I have an error message "park pilot not available" and two errors in the controller: Address 10: Park/Steer Assist Labels: 5Q0-919-283.clb Control Module Part Number: 5Q0 919 283 F HW: 5Q0 919 283 Component and/or Version: PARKHILFE 4K H10 0054 Software Coding: 0000050001 2 Faults Found: 1079316 - Center Rear Right Parking Aid Sensor B1078 14 [009] - Open or Short to Ground Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00000001 Fault Priority: 3 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 184 Mileage: 31398 km Date: 2020.10.31 Time: 14:09:51 12658704 - Databus U1121 00 [008] - Missing Message Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 00000001 Fault Priority: 6 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 184 Mileage: 31398 km Date: 2020.10.31 Time: 14:09:35 It looks like there is a problem with one censor... Do you guys confirm I should dismount the rear bumper again to change this censor? I have one in spare... I just don't want to do it for nothing. Thanks for your help

Quick update guys! I have finished the installation, routing the cable and drilling holes was easy as well as removing the rear bumper. But the hard part for me is connecting to the fuse box. Just to be sure, you only connect one cable to the fuse box? Not two? ( One positive and one negative) And you have to tape it on an existing cable (if you don't want to add a fuse) . Since I have no extra fuse, I have connected my harness to the black/grey câble position 30 like indicated on the installation manual. Now that everything is connected, I have tried to configure with vcds (easy part for me..) But my controler is not responding. I think my câbles are not properly connected. How Can I check that everything is good? Any suggestions @wirer? Thanks guys.

Thanks @rum4mo, really appreciated your help here. I think I well end up by extend my cable and have well noted your advises to do so. I have the ability of doing it, I just need some material. I have shrink tubes of the correct size and soldering tools, but no wires and wrapping cable. May you please indicate me which cables and tape are necessary in order to build an extension that looks like the original cable? If you have a link on some website or a reference would be awesome! Thanks a lot

Hi guys, I have attempted to route the harness that i've received from Kufatec but it seems the harness is too short. The manual provided by kufatec (which is for Audi A3...) suggest to route the harness from the rear left of the car, but since the rear bumper is only accessible from the rear right side of the car, that makes the harness too short because I need to go to the front left of the car by going under the rear seats. So be carrefull if you want to buy this cable from Kufatec, it's not the right cable they make it too short! Here is the picture of their installation manual they privide with the cable: In green the route that the cable should take, in red the route for which the kufatec cable is made for. Which not adapted to a Fabia... So, I'll try to find another cable and try again. I'll keep you guys in touch. Thanks,

@singh946 and @wirer I mean, the lateral plastic panel (or the right side of the trunk). Should I pull the plastic firmly? Is it only clips or is there any hidden screw? I don't want to break it. Other than that I've had a first look this weekend to prepare for the installation maybe next week or the week after, the front part is okay. I've looked at the BCM, and I might use the can+/can- directly from the radio, but I don't have the tool to remove the radio.. So I think about buying one paie. Or maybe, I'll finally do it from the BCM. The only thing is that the cables attached to the BCM are short, so it is a bit complicated to access them. Maybe I will be able to access them from the side. I need to look better. So I have thought a bit, and bought a quick derivation connector : I don't know if you guys have ever used this kind of connector? I thought it might be easier to connect can+/can- without have to solder in such a tiny space. Feel free to let me know what you think Thanks

Quick question guys, how do you remove the rear latéral panel in the trunk ? I can't find any screw and need to open it to run the cable. Thanks !

Thanks mate, this is what I was thinking because I know that behind the radio this is cleary written and easy to find. The problem is that I think this is not "clean" and also the cable I have from Kufatec is too short. I will have to make an extension or something like that and I don't really want to do that. I will just stick to the official installation guide and plug it on the BCM. Since I'm a short person, I will fit under the seat without no problem

And where did you managed to connect the can+/can- when you have retrofited the radar in your car ? Is there a simpler way to connect to the can bus or should I stick to connect to the BCM ? Thanks for all your informations @wirer I'll take pictures and post on this post when I do the installation, I have to admit that the tutorial you did on your blog is really nice and complete, but some people may need an article in English

I've received the cable ! I'm good for the fuse box + ground connections to get the power. But I do not find the box where I have to connect the can+/can- cable. Here on the picture, I know that I have to connect it on some box, but I can't locate it. May someone please help me to find it ? Thanks !

Thanks a lot for your reply @wirer, Now I got it this is fuse box we are talking about! Do I have to add a fuse, or there is already one but with nothing onto it? I should solder the cable, or this is just plug and play? I'll have a look tonight, I should understand by looking at it I guess

Looking at @wirer tutorial, When I google translate the page I don't really understand the part where I need to connect onto the fuse box. How can I find the pin number 35 ? I just have to count from 1 to 35 ? I'm ot sure how to find the right connector and how to connect onto it! If you have more detailed explanations or pictures would be helpfull! Thanks

Thanks a lot singh946 ! I have seen the front parking sensor article on wirer, but I've never seen this one for rear PDC!!! It will be great help. Thanks a lot
