Purpose and function of the PDC sensor

The presented sensor is a component of the factory PDC system, responsible for precise obstacle detection during low-speed maneuvering. It works in conjunction with the vehicle's electronics, generating acoustic or visual signals that facilitate parking and reduce the risk of damage to the bumper and bodywork components.

As a part dedicated to specific BMW models, the sensor ensures proper operating parameters, stable readings, and correct communication with the parking system control module. This allows the driver to maintain the full functionality of the factory equipment without the need for universal solutions.

Barriquerot Red Metallic – A41 color and visual fitment

The Barriquerot Red Metallic – A41 color allows for a seamless match of the sensor to the body paint in this specific color variant. This is significant both aesthetically and practically – a correctly matched color eliminates the need for additional painting and speeds up the installation process.

Thanks to the factory surface finish, the sensor blends harmoniously into the bumper line, maintaining the original stylistic character of the BMW. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs and when replacing individual components in vehicles with well-maintained paintwork.

Technical characteristics and installation

The sensor belongs to the Parking sensors category, meaning it has been designed to operate in outdoor conditions, in areas exposed to moisture, dirt, and temperature fluctuations. The housing design and connectors are adapted to factory BMW wiring harnesses, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of compatibility issues.

The component is intended for installation in a properly prepared bumper socket. With correct installation, the seal and the proper positioning of the sensor relative to the body surface are maintained, which has a direct impact on the accuracy of readings and the stability of the PDC system operation.

Product condition and service application

The offered sensor comes from the used parts group, making it an attractive solution for service repairs where reasonable cost is important while maintaining original specifications. This type of component is particularly useful for:

• replacing a single, damaged sensor in an existing PDC system,
• post-accident bumper repairs in BMW 1 and 3 Series vehicles,
• maintaining body color consistency in Barriquerot Red Metallic – A41 paint.

By retaining the original design and finish, the sensor allows for restoring the full functionality of the parking system without interfering with the vehicle's electrical installation.

Choosing used electronics and additional information

When choosing a used PDC sensor, it is worth paying attention to compatibility with the vehicle's system and the quality of the component itself. Practical tips regarding the selection of automotive electronics may be helpful – you can find them in the article The second life of electronics – when is it worth choosing used engine controllers, comfort modules, and parking sensors?, where issues such as compatibility and the cost-effectiveness of such solutions are discussed.
