VW Optical Parking Sensors provide a visual display of the Vehicle on the radio or navigation system screen, showing the vehicles position and distance from obstacles. The location of any obstacle within range of the ultrasonic sensors is highlighted on screen. Front Upgrade VW optical parking sensors ( OPS) supplied, color coded and fitted.
Installing OPS (Optical Parking System) in Polo/VentoVW India offers rear parking sensors with audio feedback in following variants. Polo (HL). Vento (TL/CL/HL)Although this feature is quite useful but lack of camera in the older variants warranted some kind of visual feedback. Installed 8K OPS module.
If you replace existing module in car with 8K module even the audio warning will stop working. It will only work when all the sensors are connected.2.
Connected wire from BCM (CANBUS powertrain high/low) to OPS module.3. Installed sensors in front bumper. This is the most tedious part since you need to remove bumper, drill hole and stick sensors.4. Route wiring from Front bumper to OPS module.5. Install PDC switch and route wiring.6. Connect everything to OPS module (12 and 16 pin connector).I had already enabled this in VCDS so I did not have to do this step again.I will post all details soon, here are some pictures from the install.I also captured video while testing sensors. If you listen carefully, there is significant difference in pitch of sound from front and rear buzzers.
Its easy to distinguish sound coming from front/rear sensors. Nicely done Antardaksh!I am guessing the front bumper had the slots for the parking sensors marked from the factory?

The newer Polo 6C bumper had them which further pushed me from getting these installed. The front sensors come in handy during tight parking situations. My case was a bit simpler since I didn't have to wire the CAN high and CAN low cables to the OPS unit as they were pre-wired from the factory (2013 production cars were).This is the wiring diagram I had used:How/where did you connect the PDC switch's backlighting to? I tapped it from the auto-headlights unit so didn't mess with any of the stock cables. Usually people tap it from the hazard blinker switch (or anything that turns on when the light switch is toggled).Have you figured out a way to change the model of the car on the OPS display?
It could be through the Park Assist module or the Radio in VCDS. Do try.Man, these Russian guys are a crazy bunch! Plus, they share all this data openly on the blogs so everything's available freely and they respond to doubts despite the language barrier. Hat tip to these folks!PS: The blacked out front grill looks smart!

Do try.Man, these Russian guys are a crazy bunch!Hi Gannu,Thanks, I used your thread as a reference.Unfortunately slots for parking sensors are not marked in front bumper for Vento. Russian version of the same car does offer 8K OPS as an option.I used backlight input from the rear window defroster switch. We should not take input from hazard warning switch since it has independent wiring from BCM.I haven't changed OPS display picture but I believe we can change this from byte 6 in 56 Radio long coding.Indeed I also got lot of help from Russian friends.Regards.( 3)Thanks. Hi rejeen,I would suggest you check existing parking module in the boot of you car. To do this you need to remove a screw from the boot trim and few clips holding the lining on left side of boot. Part number would help you distinguish whether the module only supports audio or OPS.Hi JitendraK78,I believe Skoda Rapid comes with three sensors in the rear bumper.
I am not sure if there is any module that supports three sensors. One user in the Russian forum installed two more sensors and then connected 4K OPS module.Regards.Thanks for the reply. My car does not have sensors in rear bumper. I believe the entire setup needs to be installed.

Some days back, I was checking possibility of installing OE music system but the technician at the dealer told that it is not compatible with my car since it is not having CAN. Thanks for the reply.

Some days back, I was checking possibility of installing OE music system but the technician at the dealer told that it is not compatible with my car since it is not having CAN. ?Every vehicle has CAN. If CAN cables are not available in oe wire loom you can tap them from the instrument cluster as mentioned by Antardaksh or directly from bcm.
Once you have that you can install the music system.The process of tapping the can cables is very well explained in RCD 510 install thread.( )Thanks.
