Reprogramming Parking Sensors

[Guest jtwonk]

Can anyone tell me if it possible to reprogramme the rear parking sensors to take into account a bike rack mounting plate? Is this possible as DIY ? How much is it at dealers?

 

Thanks

Is this system a self learning system. Basically the rear parking sensors were giving a conatant tone when in reverse then after a couple of days they seem to have "learnt" that the cycle rack is now part of the car & does not trigger the sensors.

So all is well for now.

 

PS bike rack is excellent for the money as it fits 4 bikes & once the cycle rack base plate is fitted it's only a couple of minutes to fit!!!!

I thought this was the case, since they seem to have learned that my towbar was fitted after a few days, but I've been told they are not self learning??? :P

 

They now ignore my towbar, self learning or not.

I dont think there self learning, it sounds as though you may be right on the trigger threshold. Mine go off when it rains and I also have a tow bar.

 

I had a chance to play with a VAG COM cable a short while ago and you can adjust each sensors' individual sensitivity setting; which I thought was pretty cool. So you can almost set it how you wish.

 

In fact , having not seen the VAG COM, or any other OBD system before, I was quite impressed with its power as a tool. I would express caution when using or altering things though.
