Deactivate parking sensors.......

IverRover · 6th August 2015, 17:37

Hi,

Is there a way to active / deactivate the rear parking sensors at will please?

When reversing the caravan to a pitch the sensors were constantly beeping away. Irritating to say the least, so would be good if when hitched up, I could deactivate the sensors, and reactivate when setting the car free again.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks.

Tony

you can just pull plug out on the box on offside boot , plug back in once your trailer free

From my research earlier this week using the site search, it seems -

- OEM tow package has some clever K-bus electrikery that does this automatically when the trailer socket is in use.

- No easy way (eg pull a fuse) to disable

- pull connectors to the box seems easiest

I was looking because mine are very intermittent and I don't have the time or cash to solve at present as the engine issues are more pressing
