VW Golf 7 5G0 - Park Assist - PLA - RETROFIT

[nlm]

Hi

My GTI has park sensors front and rear with reverse camera. What do you thing about parkassist? It can be retrofitted with the actual bumpers?

Thanks in advance

Well worth fitting but you will need to drill holes for the side sensors in the bumper. Aside from that it should be very easy to fit and then just code in with VCDS.
Good luck!

You'll need to make sure you have the correct abs pump for park assist. Dieselman eventually retro fitted park assist to his tiguan but it required a new abs pump and wasn't just coding with vcds.

Ok Thanks! I'll try to search on bumpers. How about your experience on parkassist? Is it practical ? Do you use it on daily basis?

We have park assist and very rarely use it....the additional parking sensors the park assist give on the wheel arches are far more useful.

I agree with this.. I've used park assist about twice to demo it to people, once to test it myself and once when it refused to work (the road was lined with cars both sides and I think it just considered it too narrow).

The extra sensors giving 360 degree monitoring are really good though.

The Golf is a tiny hatchback and I simply fail to see why there is a need for all round cameras and for park assist. Try honing your parking skills instead, rather than wasting time and money on a pretty pointless option. Just my opinion after near 50 years as a driver.

"Try honing you parking skills instead" idiot....

For your information we got the park assist and high beam assist free from VW UK due to a total cock up on our order. You know nothing about any other members on this forum or their ability.....

As I stated, just my opinion.
So no need to be so touchy and abusive. Play nice.
Happy New Year.
