The parts list in in the first post, though I can double check the module. There are 2 versions, 2009 is on the edge of both, though the later module will fit early cars too

You need to wire the module to power, canbus etc too

What is the letter at the end of the part number?
 
I stumbled across this interesting arrangement on an early (03/2007) 2.0 TFSI Roadster. The advertisement lists front and rear parking sensors, but I wonder if this is an aftermarket kit or just an early OEM?

Aftermarket as there are no OEM front sensors for the MK2 TT

Also the sensors aren't flush fitting

Not a bad job, but not as tidy as OEM parts either. Luckily the R8 uses the same switch bank so OEM switches are available

isn't one part number 8p0 919 283 valeo
That was only fitted to the A3, superseded on 01/11/2005 by A, superseded on 01/11/2006 by C, superseded on 01/01/2007 by D. After D they switched over to the 8P0 919 475 x versions.

So it was superseded 3 times before the TT MK2 was around (the TT started with revision D) but I would guess it would still be compatible though. It's often hard to tell the differences between versions

Let us know how you get on
 
So - S-line bumper - OEM sensors in & after a bit of a faff with the fact that the body work guy brought the sensor wire out on the grommet on the Left side of the boot (will change when I fit new TTS valance :D :D ) all is working.
But:
1 - new OEM PDC setup is less sensitive to obstacles than my previous non-flush sitting retrofit - can sensitivity be adjusted in VCDS?
2 - the parking beeper (in OEM position behind driver's L ear - thanks MT-V6) is much quieter even on full volume in DIS I have ordered small amp & speaker to sort this,
3 - the RNSE dose not mute when reversing which my A4 B8 MMI does nicely - If not I will link RFSL C2 to Tel mute D11 in RNSE with a diode to see if that will work.

1) Sensitivity cannot be adjusted as far as I know. It should be fairly good though, <30cm is a solid tone, should pick up objects within about a metre or so. What is yours like?

2) Also sounds strange, I find it can be very loud on full volume. Did you mount it behind the rear right speaker grille? I originally had mine in the side of the boot, and later moved to the speaker grille once I found where it mounted, which obviously made it loader in the cabin.

3) It doesn't mute, some PDC modules have the option to dim the volume, but not by very much. The mute idea sounds good, as long as it doesn't make the RNSE display a message about a phone call like some aftermarket stereos do. Let us know how you get on. I'm not sure C2 would help though as I believe it is an input, not an output. Might need a feed from the CECM
 
Thanks -

I have a spare 283D module so will try that. The sensors were not new so will be annoyed if they are the problem looks great with painted flush sensors :)

Speaker mounting started in the OEM position as per your diagram then moved to behind speaker grill but still a little quiet. Bought one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1 and the old PDC came with a proper mini speaker so will try this

I have a reversing camera and RNSE-PU fed with reverse light to the C2 pin old style rather than the hack so will send the same +12v on reverse to the tel mute - diode should stop my phone turning on the reversing screen! I will let you know how it works.
 
Can anyone who has done this install confirm if the CAN HIGH/LOW and POS+ can be picked up from anywhere in the bootspace (and if so any suggestion where exactly for CAN ?). I am about to embark on this install so would be happy to not have to route wires to the front of the car for canbus and power connections. 2006 TT Coupe with 283 D parking module.
 
@ Rufflesj - If you've ever had the pleasure of reverse parking a Roadster into a poorly lit parking space at night, with the top up, you would quickly understand why a reverse camera or parking sensors are helpful. It avoids parking by the Braile method. :)

I'd be interested in finding out how to turn the annoying thing off? Why oh why does anyone need sensors to reverse park a TT?
Not a big need for the coupe, I agree. However, since my lovely wife still managed to smash the rearbumper trying to reverse park without them I needed to replace this part on my car. I found a nice replacement bumper with PDC and loom so I figured whilst I am in there. On topic, please do let me know if anyone has suggestions for CAN High/Low pick up points in the boot.
 
CAN High & low are as below
Convenience control module in the boot behind the R wheel arch
Central convenience control module block C, pin 10 (convenience CAN low - orange/brown wire)
Central convenience control module block C, pin 9 (convenience CAN high - orange/green wire)

Fused +ve direct from battery
If you need an Accessory ON +ve you need to run it from the driver's side fuse board

Perfect. Thank you. Will give this a try!

The easiest way to tap into the convenience CAN is into the central convenience control module, which is also convenient in its location just under the parking module.
Yes as in the guide the convenience CAN in early cars is the easiest place to splice, only for the 283 modules though.

Permanent live is from the boot fusebox, you may or may not already have a supply in place to fuse 5

Ignition live is shown in the diagrams but others have got away without using it, so give it a try as that is the only one that is needed from the dash fusebox
