Car-Systems Poland Park Pilot installation.

[derekgray]

Hi all

 

Can anyone tell me where these wires are supposed to connect? One is from the parking switch in the centre console and the other is from the front beeper. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[langers2k]

Might be worth adding the full description manually as they seem to wrap around?

 

Without seeing the full kit, what connectors it has and how many pins are on each it's hard to offer any good advice.

 

Have you checked the wiring diagram on erwin to see what that suggests?

[derekgray]

Hi langers2k

 

Here are some photos to clarify the problem although I think I have to dismantle one of these plugs in order to attach the cables but which plug?

 

Regards

[langers2k]

That doesn't look like a MK2 Octavia button panel? You might be in the wrong section which explains the pin numbers being higher than I would have expected for a MK2.

 

The two connectors both have an inside that should slide out.

 

Once it's removed, there should be pin markings on either side to show the lowest/highest pin number. Simply count along until you find the right number and the pin should just slide in. You can then reassemble the connector and plug it into the module or button panel.

 

I expect only one of those two connectors will have 26 pins which should identify which goes to the parking module. The other connector should fit the button panel

[derekgray]

Hi

So just to clarify, all four connectors go to the 26 pin connector, is that right?

Regards

[langers2k]

Erm no.

 

Based on the labels:

- The blue and brown wires labelled as pin 2 and 10 will go to the 26 pin connector for the parking module.

- The blue and yellow wires labelled as pin 16 and 17 will go to the button panel connector. I'm not sure how many pins it'll have.

I have recently installed PLA on my Octavia. Are you sure you're on right section? The button panel is not from Octavia MK2 and the module I installed did not have those kind of connectors. 

Nervertheless you should try what langers2k said. 

[derekgray]

Thank you for all your help, I understand whats going on now. Sorry I,m in the wrong place it should have been in  the MK3 forum.

[langers2k]

No worries, I'll ask a mod to move it

 

[derekgray]

Hi me again

 

I still cant find where the blue and yellow pins 16 and 17 go, it says to the PDC push button connector. Does anyone know where this PDC might be situated in a MK3 Octavia?  Would it be the same unit (shown below) that the the two plugs above go into? or is it another PDC.

[langers2k]

Surely it's the button panel as I've already mentioned?

 

What connector is on the rear of the panel and does it have more than 17 pins?

[derekgray]

Here are two photos of the plugs on the back of the switch unit, not enough pins I think.....

 

Thanks for your help with this.

[langers2k]

Does seem unlikely that it would go there.

 

Where do the other end of the yellow and blue wires go?

There are two connectors on the PDC module, one has 26 pins, how many does the other have?

[derekgray]

The other one has 18 pins and 16/17 are empty...................

What do you think???

[Eddie-NL]

Are you installing front and rear sensors

or are you upgrading from just rear sensors?

[derekgray]

Front and rear have been installed.

[derekgray]

Hi all

 

Thanks for all your help, I have now sorted out the wiring for the parking sensors with help from yourselves and the Erwin circuit diagrams, thats after I worked out how to use them. Still got to code the unit so still more problems to come on that front I expect.

Thanks again.

[derekgray]

Well now to the coding, the info supplied by "Car-Systems" Poland appears to refer to an older version of VCDS. The version I am using is 18.2 and won't accept the coding supplied. Does anyone have any ideas on the coding required for this unit? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

[langers2k]

Your vcds is out of date.

 

Update and post a full autoscan along with the instructions you've been given please :-)

[derekgray]

Hi langers2k

 

My VCDS is the dark picture and its version 18.2.1, I think there is only one newer version available. Since posting my last I have discovered a menu called "Long Coding Helper" which is was what I was looking for, this allowed me to input the information supplied by "Car-Systems".

Now that I've done this I am able to test the beepers front and rear and the parking sensor light goes out once I start driving but that's about it, no sensor operation and nothing on the bolero display. There VCDS is out of date. So what now.

I have attached the latest scan.

Thanks in advance

[langers2k]

Your VCDS version (17.1.3.0) is almost two years out of date from the autoscan you posted so I'd definitely suggest updating to the current version (18.9.0).

 

The reason that the coding might look different in VCDS is because the module from the carsystems screenshot is 5Q0919294B but you have a 5Q0919294L.

 

Looking at the autoscan, I would:

- open address 19 (CAN gateway)

- click installation list

- add module 10 (park/steer assist)

 

It's not clear what your current coding is on module 10 as your screenshot and autoscan differ. At the very least I'd deselect auto transmission in byte 4 of module 10 as your car looks to be a manual. Once that's done, please:

- clear all the fault codes

- post a new autoscan

[derekgray]

Hi langers2k

 

I did as you suggested and have attached the scan of before I did it and after I did it, there are also screenshots of my Long coding setup I think as per the Car-Systems instructions. Needless to say after all this it still is not working. And I have included a screenshot of where I have connected to the canbus (B391 and B384).

Thanks in advance.

It might not be working yet but it's definitely progress. I'm happy that the parking module is probably coded and installed correctly.

 

Next stage is to look at 5F which is the headunit. I haven't got a list of bits/bytes for it but I'd start by checking the long coding for anything related.

 

Can you also post an adaption map up for 5F as I expect you'll need to tweak some parts. Instructions are below, the address will be 5F, you want an adaption map and ideally a CSV file.

Wow thank you for your prompt response, I will get onto it ASAP.

Before you bought this did you consider the installation within your capabilities?
