Been following this thread to retrofit the rear parking sensors and almost complete barring my boot fuse box does not have Fuse 5 connected.Is it ok to use fuse 1 which is 5A and permanent live?
I am also struggling to find the right canbus high and low wires to splice into! Obviously have found CECM under the dash but what I perceive to be block C doesn't have the right coloured wires! Mine is the old CECM ending in H! Bumper, Sensors, module all fitted and wired as this thread

Are you sure fuse 5 doesn't have any pins in it? I would expect it to have one which you can piggyback from as in my original post, or as I have done since wire in the fuse directly

What module are you using as this will affect which canbus you will need, either convenience or powertrain

I think you are mixing up the CECM (central electric module) with the CCM (convenience module). The CCM is what you need for canbus and is in the right on the boot right next to the location for the parking module, but ONLY if you have a 283 module
 
Thank you for your reply.

Yes Fuse 5 has one pin/connector only. Are you saying I can piggy back off that?

My module is 283 D.

I think you are right and I have been confusing CECM and CCM. I have run my canbus wires to the CECM, is there anywhere here I can splice into or is it CCM or nothing?

Yes you can use fuse 5. Bare in mind it will need a fuse, a piggyback holder is easiest

A 283 module required convenience canbus and you are in luck as the CECM does indeed have convenience canbus. Low is G7 (orange/brown) and high is G8 (orange/green)

Connector G (T12e) is 12 pin black. Make sure you twist your canbus wires together between the CECM and the parking module
 
Once again thank you for your reply.

That's a relief! I do have both canbus wires twisted yes and my piggyback is all wired and ready to plug in.

I followed your excellent write up however went wrong by misunderstanding the CECM and CCM.

Good stuff, hope the rest goes well, it sounds like you are almost done
 
Got the Parking sensors all up and running thanks to your guide! Only difference was I spliced into CANBUS under drivers side dash. I don't have VAGCOM however surprisingly it all worked without any coding??? Even got it in DIS for volume and frequency??? Any thoughts? Also it is fine to get coding in advance? For example, I have Door Warning Lights to install, can I code the door modules in advance?
Regards, Paul

I'm not surprised it works as there is really limited coding for the PDC module anyway. Likely you will have stores fault codes related to not having the gateway coded for the PDC module

Yes you can code in advance, again fault codes will be stored in the door modules

All the fault codes can be cleared at a later date, they won't affect anything
 
Once again many thanks! Your advice has been invaluable! My car is being coded on Friday for cruise, mfsw, rns-e, door lights and also parking sensors? Does that mean if they clear the faults for the parking sensors it will still work or better to re-code?
Regards, Paul

It would be best to clear the fault codes after the coding changes, that way they shouldn't come back (for the things that are actually fitted). Also ask for a copy of the scan because it might help you in future if you know what modules are fitted and how they are coded
 
I'm currently in the process of retro-fitting factory PDC. I have my bumper, loom, buzzer and module (8P0 919 475 M) all installed.

All I have left to do is the wiring. I was wondering has anyone had any experience with the Kufatec loom?

https://www.kufatec.com/en/audi/tt/tt-8 ... t-8j-36479

I'm struggling to work out if it's built for connections to the powertrain and fusebox at the front of the car? Or for the older 283 module.

Also can anyone clarify where the CAN gateway module (J533) is located please? As I cant seem to find it anywhere, I assume this is what I need to splice into? Pins T20d/16 and T20d/6. Thanks :)
 
That module is correct. I am not sure about that kufatec loom. You could try asking them although their customer service is reportedly quite poor...

Though depending on how the loom is made, it might be designed to go to the gateway regardless of whether it is convenience or powertrain canbus

The gateway is just behind the glovebox, nice and easy to access with the glovebox removed:

Yep exactly, emailed them and they just replied with a link to the loom for the sensors :roll:. That's what I'm thinking, from the images it seems to have the correct number of connections but it's wire lengths I'm worried about. Maybe I will take a punt on it, as the price for the pins and connectors from Audi are quite expensive.

Thanks for the quick reply on the module location, I was looking under the steering wheel as per service manual but I'm guessing that's for LHD...
 
Finally got round to wiring this all together this weekend and it's working great. I even have the menu ready on DIS without any coding. However I'm having a little trouble with the coding on VCDS to remove some of the error codes which are now present. Please see relevant modules from my scan below:

I've checked the box for "76: Park Assist" in the installation list in the CAN Gateway controller, do I need to check the box for "10: Park/Steer Assist" too? As this module 10 is now present in my auto-scan when it wasn't before.

Regarding the adaptations screen, what exactly do I need to do here? I've noticed the adaptations about setting the buzzer volume, frequency and confirmation sound is present in the "10: Park/Steer Assist" module.

In the CAN Gateway adaptations screen my options are as below:

If I try and open the "76 Park Assist" controller I get an error message "controller not responding" and it kicks me out.

Any advice would be appreciated so I can finish this mod off. Apologies if this is basic stuff but I'm quite new to the TT and more so VCDS!

It looks like you just need to code the gateway again. The new module will show up even if not ticked in the installation list, but you'll get faults like you have

The 475 modules are on address 10 as shown in your scan, so in the gateway installation list just tick number 10 and leave 76 unticked, then clear your faults and hopefully they won't return

It is the older 283 modules that use address 76, I might need to update my guide as I originally had a 283 module fitted

As for the adaptations, the parking module one are just the same as you now have in the DIS, and if you change it via the DIS you will be able to hear the changes in volume etc. Nothing needs to be changed in the gateway adaptations so leave that as is

Also, depending on what car your new parking module came from, it is worth having a look over the long coding for it. Feel free to post screenshots of it if needed

Some coding can be weird on these modules and won't always save...

That's great MT thanks, checked the 10 module and un-checked the 76 module and the fault codes have now gone. You were right about the long coding on the module too, it seems like it was from an LHD Audi A3.

I've tried to change the bits to RHD and Audi TT 8J but I am getting an re-code invalid message as below:

Any idea on how to procced next?

It can stay LHD, i had exactly the same on mine, its configured as a LHD R8 and still is. Doesn't affect anything and I have no errors.

Beat me to it, Barry and I have slightly different versions of the front and rear sensor modules and we couldn't get it to save. I wondered if the correct TT modules would allow it but apparently not. You should be fine leaving it as is

Perfect thanks very much for confirming guys, I'll leave it as it is, I also have no errors and they seem to be working just fine :)
