A retrofitted parking assistance system (PDC \u2013 Park Distance Control) is one of the most common comfort upgrades and can be installed in almost any car.\n\nAt Audi, the parking assistance system is often also referred to as APS (Audi Parking System) or APS Plus. In Volkswagen vehicles, the term OPS (Optical Parking System) is commonly used, especially when the distance to obstacles is additionally shown graphically on the vehicle display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">During a <strong>parking sensor retrofit<\/strong>, ultrasonic sensors are integrated into the bumper. These sensors measure the distance to obstacles and warn the driver through acoustic signals or via a display in the vehicle screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">In general, there are several ways to <strong>retrofit a parking assistance system<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\" translation-block\"><strong>Rear PDC<\/strong> \u2013 classic system with four sensors in the rear bumper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" translation-block\"><strong>Front and rear parking sensors<\/strong> \u2013 complete system with up to eight sensors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" translation-block\">Systems with a <strong>display or visual indicator<\/strong> in the vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Many modern <strong>parking assistance retrofit kits<\/strong> are universally compatible and suitable for numerous vehicles from Audi, VW, Seat, Skoda, and many other manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installation usually takes place directly in the bumper.
