Purpose and function of the parking sensor

The presented PDC sensor is a component of the ultrasonic system responsible for detecting obstacles in the vehicle's maneuvering zone. It works with the factory Mini electronics, generating acoustic and visual signals that facilitate precise parking in tight spaces and reduce the risk of damage to the bumper and body components.

Thanks to its OEM-compliant design, the sensor maintains proper operating parameters, such as sensitivity, detection angle, and operational stability under typical operating conditions, which translates into predictable and repeatable responses of the PDC system.

Sophistograu Grey Metallic - A90 color and visual matching

The Sophistograu Grey Metallic - A90 finish allows for aesthetic integration of the sensor into the bumper surface, avoiding the "foreign object" effect. This is particularly important in vehicles where attention to visual detail is as important as functionality.

Factory painting in the Sophisto Grey shade reduces the need for additional paint work after installation, which shortens repair time and minimizes the risk of color differences between the sensor and the rest of the bodywork.

Installation characteristics and vehicle integration

The sensor has been designed for direct integration with the Mini F55/F56 wiring, facilitating installation in the factory location. The properly selected housing geometry and mounting socket allow for stable seating in the bumper, while maintaining the correct operating position relative to the ground.

The component belongs to the Parking sensors group, meaning it works with other PDC system components in the vehicle to create a coherent obstacle detection system. A correctly installed sensor supports uniform coverage of the front or rear zone (depending on the car's configuration), providing the driver with clear information about the distance to obstacles.

Used condition and benefits of choosing OEM parts

The offered item is in used condition, which allows for combining an attractive purchase cost with the preservation of the manufacturer's original specifications. Choosing an OEM part from this group is beneficial for users who expect compatibility with the factory PDC system and predictable electronic performance in the long term.

A used Mini parking sensor, sourced from dismantling, is a particularly interesting solution for post-accident repairs, replacing a single damaged component, or restoring full functionality to the parking assistance system without the need to invest in a new set of sensors.

Selection and additional technical information

Before purchasing, it is worth verifying the sensor's compatibility with the specific vehicle equipment version and the Mini F55/F56 model year to ensure proper cooperation with the existing wiring harness and control module. The product has a dedicated OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates clear identification in service catalogs and parts selection systems.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the maneuvering zone in your Mini and need other components from the same group, such as additional sensors, mounting elements, or bumper covers, check the available parts in the Mini parking sensors category.
