Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented rear parking sensor is dedicated for installation in the rear part of the BMW F20 series vehicle, where it works with the factory PDC system. The component is responsible for precisely detecting obstacles behind the car and transmitting a signal to the control unit, which translates into clear acoustic or visual alerts inside the vehicle. This makes maneuvering in tight parking spaces more predictable and comfortable.

Color scheme and body integration

The sensor is finished in Karmesinrot - A61, which allows for aesthetic integration into a bumper painted in the same shade. Using a component in the correct color eliminates the need for additional painting and ensures a visually consistent effect after installation. This solution is particularly beneficial when replacing a single sensor after mechanical damage or failure.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The BMW F20 PDC Rear Parking Ultrasonic Sensor Karmesinrot belongs to the OEM group of components, which means maintaining factory operating parameters, proper distance measurement characteristics, and correct cooperation with the original wiring harness and PDC control unit. The sensor's design is adapted to the factory socket in the bumper, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of leaks or improper positioning relative to the body surface.

As a used part, the component comes from disassembly and is intended for users who want to restore the full functionality of the parking system while maintaining a favorable cost-to-quality ratio and the manufacturer's original specifications.

Benefits of using an original PDC sensor

Using an original rear PDC sensor in a BMW F20 allows you to:

• maintain the factory sensitivity and stability of the parking system,
• avoid electrical and software compatibility issues typical of many aftermarket replacements,
• maintain a consistent bumper appearance thanks to the matched Karmesinrot - A61 color,
• reduce installation time thanks to the design prepared for the factory installation site.

Professional selection and installation

To fully utilize the capabilities of this component, it is worth verifying the sensor's compatibility with the specific vehicle configuration, taking into account the equipment version and the PDC system used. During installation, it is important to ensure proper seating in the bumper socket and correct connection to the electrical system, which ensures stable operation in various operating conditions.
