Hi Guys,

I am in a bit of dilemma :( a fella came to me in his Audi A4 B9 chassis to get his Front Park assist enabled after a retrofit. The owner has rear parking assist installed from factory.

So thought no worried will go into address 10-Park Assist and checkout the options available. On the installed modules page I can't see any option for Address 10? :confused: Which is strange as if he has rear parking sensor then there's got to be the option for accessing Address 10?

I have not worked on the newer B9's so unless there is another way of enabling the sensors then please kindly point me in the right direction :)

Here is a scan from the A4. I didn't get to check the rear parking sensors but I have a feeling the guy has aftermarket sensors installed :(

Just remembered the fella had option in his MMI for rear parking sensors so pretty sure it is factory fitted.

a4 b9 park sensors works as a sub system of bcm 09, in order to finish retrofit you need to upload parameters for 8k ops to bcm 09 and code them, the you will have ops system in mmi

Can you please help with coding the parameters please?

it's not just coding, you need to upload parameters, vcds can't do that, to upload parameters you need vcp...

I guess I will need access to the parameterised file aswell. :(

Only for audi a4 8k model parameterize is needed. For 8w model not just coding only. Done a lot of times!

How do you know if it is the 8w model? Most of audi forums are saying VCDS can be used to code the front pdc in Address 9 Centl Elect.

A4 B9 is otherwise known as "Type 8W". You'll see it many modules of your own autoscan.

You believe "the internet" more than siLc and vastechnics.
It is an 8W.

Audi show it:
8w.png


You can try and choose the car in "AutoScan" Selection, it shows:
8W - Audi A4/S4/RS4 B9 (2016 >)

Thank you NEtech not doubting anybody's intelligence :thumbs: I am just gathering information as I go along.

Thank you for confirming its an 8w as AutoScan was not clear.

I guess VCDS is limited in this case as per siLc and vastechnics :(

If it should be possible with Coding, try:
[09] make Byte 28 Bit 5 and Byte 38 Bit 0 active.

Experimental coding is available.

No where in my autoscan it mentions 8w? Only thing I can see is F4-AU49 (4M1)?
Almost every module's part number begins with 8W in the vehicle's autoscan.

Chassis type at the start of every autoscan used to be a good indicator of the vehicle model but it no longer is because different vehicles sharing a common platform may have similar elements in the chassis type code. Hence the "4M1", which is the current Q7 type 4M but it's not a Q7...

The "4M1" comes from the car's Gateway part number, which is of course the first thing that VCDS needs to talk to in order to figure out what else it can talk to. ;)

When I want to see what chassis a car is, I usually look at the instrument cluster part number; those almost always start with the "Real" chassis code.

Unfortunately, the standards for VINs have made it impractical to use '8' in the 7th digit. This started in the US, but it seems to have spread. See the section under the model-year chart here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number#Model_year_encoding

Specifically:
"if position seven is numeric, the model year in position 10 of the VIN refers to a year in the range 1980–2009. If position seven is alphabetic, the model year in position 10 of VIN refers to a year in the range 2010–2039."

Yup. Done it too on a number of A4 B9 (8W)'s. You need a new parameter set for the BCM1 Module (09) to get full park assist working. You can code it up in Module 09 and it may "sort of" work but the full config you need new/additional parameter data. Once that is done and applied you'll find the whole lot works.

Andy,

Can you give me some more info on how to load the new parameter set into the BCM1 module? I installed the park assist in my B9 S5 and it is working sort of like you said. I am able to select the park assist and it shows on the MMI but as soon as I shift to reverse it turns off. I think it is because it is not parameterized for 12 sensors. I have access to tools that I may need.

Thanks
Akos

Hi Akos

Yep, that sounds about right. If you have access to the tools, then you should have the files too, and therefore you should be good to upload them

Assuming of course your thinking the same thing as I'm saying without actually "saying" it :)
