Retrofit Parking Sensors (Cables Already In Place)

Featured Replies

Hi all

need a bit of advice as this problem has me a little stuck.

Im trying to fit the bosch reverse parking module to my car to enable the sensors. the trouble is its all plugged in but the unit is completely dead. Ive tested the power feed to the module and its completely dead. I cant communicate with the module on elm config as theres no power for the can bus to that module. Ive looked at all the schematics (thanks to PREE) and it seems fine. The wiring is correct.

It does share power inside the fusebox with the heater control head but tha\ts as far as ive got, the fuse is fine as it powers all the electronic modules. so ive been left guessing? theres no option to turn it on in elm config and ids doesnt pick the module up either so it isnt a case of just turning it on.

Any advice would be welcomed



May be a daft suggestion but does the module only become active once you have the car in reverse?

Or maybe you'd need to copy GEM data from another car which has the module factory fitted before the GEM will bring yours to life?

I've tried to read the module when it's in reverse and haven't got anything yet it doesn't seem to be getting the live feed from the GEM. I've tried a couple of GEMs and nothing. You could be right but I can't even program it using ids which would work when installing replacement modules
