playing SW makes me familiar, but the price is definitely lower than yours. but it probably depends on each individual.


the front is connected correctly, otherwise it would also report an error at the front and display an exclamation mark (!)

 

you can only solve the error with the parking brake with another dataset

 

RTA - rear traffic allert is part of BSD - blind spot detect - blind spot sensor. I have added it too, instructions are on the web

 

The finished product :) 

 

@wirer thank you so lets hope the new module doesn't need adaptation. I really hope it works :( The wiring harness I bought from carsystems was the best. Everything worked from the start go :)

  • I'd think that the reduction to only 3 rear sensors will be down to trimming costs down as far as possible.   When I retrofitted the front PDS/OPS to my 2011 Audi S4, Kufatec used the same p

  • The my photo above also shows the 294E. Well, I definitely have it adapted for Fabia 7K. So just mount it. It has happened to me twice that the promised 7K unit from Octavia came instead. Then it didn

  • Ah, some people are using VW Group model platform designations like 8K to mean 8 channel, not good, a bit misleading, I'm glad that you have bought a suitable one, ie a 5Q version as long as it is onl

Ok I have success, so finally got the new module 5Q0919294K  delivered which was from a 2016 Fabia (luckily) and it was basically plug and play (no coding needed). 

 

So everything works as it is meant to. Lesson learned make sure module is from same brand and if possible same car :D

Looks great. I want to install the front parking to my 2016 Rapid Spaceback. I have some of the parts but really struggling with the module. I need 5Q0919294K but can only find them second hand from other Skoda cars with 4 rear sensors and I need 3 as the Rapid is similar to the Fabia. It seems like quite a rare option to find on a Rapid. I have only found one module in the Netherlands from a Rapid and they are not interested in shipping to me because of brexit. Anyone know if it’s possible to change an existing one to a 7k rather than an 8k?

 

Im struggling to even find a 7k Fabia MK3 one which i also assume would work.

You need 7K unit, not 8K

As far as I know, no one except Fabia and Rapid uses 7 sensors. It takes me a bit of time to convert a PDC to a PLA, because there is no combination of 7 sensors + 4 sideways

 

I make my own cables at home. I order connectors, pins and I'm playing

Hello guys, realy nice project @singh946 , i am interested to fit something similar to my rapid. I also only have 3 rear sensors but I want to go a little further and put 12k unit in so I could also have 4 side sensor and redo rear to 4 like octavia/superb... could have. I have some questions related to your retrofit that could help me.

1. Did you try to connect 4 sensors on the rear, it could be that one of the errors on park/steer assist module that you had could be because of that

2.For the electronic parking brake do you think or maybe know if it would work if you had park module from octavia mk3 or maybe polo as those could have 8k oem and didn't have electronic park brake or if you could code it to normal handbreak in long coding as sometimes those things can be done on some moduls

3.Button for sensors is only connected to parking module or anywhere else? I ask that because 12k module also hase PLA option which I would try to make it work next and I need a button that could activate it so for that I would need a button from some other car because rapid couldn't have that

if you have any answers to those questions it would help me. I was looking on wiring sets and think that if you connect everything it shouldn't be a problem as the system is compleat. Only logical problem could be in 5F as some units can't display those things or have limited what they can display. I fitted amundens unit from superb and know I have room for those thing with unit as my previous swing didn't have that much options. For example rear camera. I was looking to retrofit higline camera as rapid could only have lowline, it should work as only thing that uses and is connected to camera is 5F(and can network) and my unit support it(I talked to a guy that retrofits oem cameras on cars and he said it support it).

Again thanks for any informations from anyone about this kind of retrofit.
