I am really missing front parking sensors so decided to add them
The module I have now is a rear version only
Bought a used front + rear one and all the other stuff to perform the upgrade
A known issue is that many modules are usually have the donor car VIN, but not all modules
If it has the wrong VIN it will make a mess once installed

Now, how do I know if the parking assist module has a VIN written in it’s software?
If it does, is there a way to reprogram it or I should install only a brand new module?

Thanks

 

Curious about that myself, following with interest...

 

I was hoping Cambo, Brutal or someone to have some experience with swapping used modules...

 

You'd think so, but probably haven't seen it yet.
Is User Tagging still a thing? I've used it a couple times before but it doesn't seem to work now.

 

Let's see if it works @Cee Jay ...

 

Nope, didn't do anything.
It would seem User Tags are gone.

 

Maybe not. Just haven't figured out how to do it.

A bit cryptic. Did this work "Cee Jay" ?

 

Or this, Cee Jay.

 

Your "@" thing used to work, I'd used it a few times. Now it doesn't.
That list you posted above are for META TAGS, not tagging a person. META tags aid in retrieving search results for a post.

 

Thanks for the education. I think it still works somehow because I've received PMs recently that I've been tagged since my name was mentioned in a post.

 

That's the good and the bad with the forum
One can post anything but can't assure a helpful reply

I am not sure Brutal is around anyway and he sure is one with the vastest knowledge around here

I got an input from a second hand supplier:
As long as the part numbers are the same the only thing that will happen is that when the unit is scanned for faults via obd there will be a fault code for incorrect vin stored, it won’t cause any damage to the rest of the car or affect the way the unit operates.
With suitable diagnostic equipment the vin number can be relearned from your car to eliminate the stored code, although it’s not necessary.

Also looked again in the technical books available. In the one explaining about the car electronics and SDD there's a note warning not to use control modules from donor cars but who knows what is the real reason behind this...

Not sure if it's ok even to try connecting a used nodule

 

Did you make any progress integrating the front sensors? I need to replace my front bumper cover and the idea of adding the front sensors is appealing.

Any negative comments from those of you who do have the front sensors?

 

I use mine nearly every trip. Glad I have 'em.

 

I'm glad I have them!

 

Curious if you ever got the front sensors installed. I am looking at doing this upgrade also.
