Hey all,

So I picked up my S3 2 weeks ago, at the moment she's completely standard with no parking sensors or reversing camera, I know I'm going to need a control module capable of connecting a camera, front and rear parking sensors and obviously the relevant wiring looms, different dashboard buttons, 8 sensors and the camera door handle (it's a manual hatchback 2.0 tfsi quattro version if that makes any difference to parts I'll need) definitely aiming for an oem finish on the job. If anyone could help with part numbers and any other information that's relevant, or links to the parts I'll need that would be fantastic.

Ta very much for any help I get

Does anyone know if there's a combined control unit for the parking sensors and the reversing camera or if there are 2 separate control modules for each system, found some relatively cheap kits for sensors and some for the reversing camera but none for both systems.

Taken the plunge and taken a punt on these

https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvBwun5

£175 for front and rear sensors, had to buy the button unit containing the pdc button separate on ebay which was £45 including delivery

Currently in the process of colour coding the sensors to the car

Hey all, having recently purchased my late 2016 Facelift S3 3 Door hatch, i am in the process of collecting the parts I need to fit rear and possibly front parking sensors, am i correct in thinking i need the following parts:
4 x Valeo OEM Sensors rear bumper
4 x Valeo OEM Sensors front bumper
Rear Bumper wiring loom for sensors
Front Bumper wiring Loom
Parking Sensors control Module

I know a couple of friendly people with VCDS so coding is possible right?

Does anyone know if the control module is the same for front and rear or are they separate parts?

Where are the control modules located on the 3 door - Thanks so much in advance!
