Front Parking Sensors Retro-Fit and Digital TV

[R5YUG]

I couldn't resist the tempation to start modifying - Ok it's not an engine map or a Zorst yet (promised myself I'd get my R32 back ont the road before I am allowed a trip to see Doug).
Anyway...

I now have fully integrated RNS-E High Acoustic Parking Sensors front and rear... as well as my trusty Digital TV tuner with High Diversity Aerials (was woking fine at over 130mph on the autobann honest!) TV in motion (coded by SatNavSystems)

Acoustic Parking Sensors - just like a factory option!

There were no pre-marked locations in the back of the bumper

The RS3 front bumper does not have pre-marked holes for the sensors.

And finally got round to getting my new plate transferred at DVLA in Wimbledon:

Oh - and I got round to putting my new plate on too

TV tuner, unfortunately not controlled by the RNS-E buttons but the TV remote works a treat.

TV tuner...

Front parking sensors?!! Come on, you can see the front of the car, it's not exactly large

Like the TV, though I'm highly anal about integration with the factory kit.

I was more interested in getting the acoustic display working through the RNS-E - you can get the sensors upgraded and fitted for about £500

I don't suppose you have managed sort TPMS have you?

[R5YUG]

I haven't but it's on my list to look at - I've just rebuilt my garage laptop last night (working VCDS) so will make headway soon with the coding.
- I found this interesting post on hidden ABS coding options:

Interesting. I would expect it to be the ABS based version, that's what I had on my Mk5 R32. Not as good as the direct solution as if your tyres all deflate at the same rate it won't notice, but it will pick up the big deflation and that's what I'm after.

It was a factory option early on, but it was removed, oddly. If it's effectively in the software anyway it seems a bit strange to not offer it....unless it was problematic.

TPMS can't be hard as its only a £75 option

I know some of the guys with MY12 cars over on ASN, have managed to code it through the long coding on 03 - ABS

But this only works on newer cars as it operates through the DIS and has no reset button on the dash like the older cars. As mentioned, now done thru ABS module.
