OPS (OPTICAL PARKING SENSORS) question...

[saint70]

Hi,

Is any way to activate OPS except change gear to reverse?


thank

You should have the front parking sensor switch next to the gear stick, does that not work for you?

Does your car have park assist or just parking sensors. Has it got sensors in the front bumper Park assist has extra ones in both bumpers on the sides

Mine tells me when I get to close at the front without me doing anything with buttons but then it has all the fruit

[saint70]

I got park assistant. Also i have front and rear sensors....next to gear stick i can see park button but not botton for sensors. I you change gear to reverse all sensons showing distance and that is fine. I would like to know how i gonna activate sensors without changing gear....is that possible?

I think that was only for the B7s and later. For the B6 Passats, to the best of my knowledge, you have to either select reverse or press the button to activate the sensors. From memory, the OPS only kicks in with reverse gear, not the button.

Remember to stop before the 'crunch'.

Yeah well mines a B7 which has Park assist 2 so may be different but the manual will tell you I guess

If it doesn't start beeping from 5ft away be careful

Just for the record, I have a B7 with Park Assist 2 & am certain the front sensors don't operate unless I either change to reverse first or press the button next to the gear lever. Puzzling!! I am going to re-read the manual. Is there a setting to auto activate?

[saint70]

For b6 no....not evn button...for b7...i can not tell...

Mine has the button pushed in all the time and the front sensors work automatically. I just leave it like that and if I get close to something they come on automatically and the screen changes to the sensor view.

I never have to reset the switch unless I consciously turn it off.

It doesn't turn off when the car is turned off.

Nope...sensors works only when reverse selected.

I just tested this the other day as well - OPS shows up on the my RCD510 when you press the console button, and disappears when you turn off the sensors. If I select reverse, the camera picture shows up with a OPS in a wireframe overlaid on the side of the camera view. This is on a 2010 R36 with reversing camera, but no park assist.

This afternoon I got in mine, touched nothing as the Park button has been on for months.

Drove across the driveway and up to my neighbors garage door.

As I got closer the media display changed from radio to parking mode and the little bars in front of the car wriggled and jiggled as I got closer to the door. As I got right up to it they changed to red as they should.

I backed away and the display went to the RVC display.

I reversed into my garage beside the POLO and as the car got close to the rear quarter of the Polo the beeper went off as I park really close to it.

As the rear got past the Polo the beeps stopped until I got near the rear of the garage and they started again till I stopped.

This is the normal way they have always worked since June 2011.

The park button is lit and stays that way always.

When I am in reverse I have the picture of whats behind me with a stationary green frame and a moveable yellow frame which alters according to steering angle.

It should work to as with the satnav and park assist 2 it was a $3600 extra.
