Auto Parking

[hpoolsteve]

Is the auto parking a feature that can be switched on with VCDS/ ODBEleven.

What systems does that car have to have for this to work?

Think it's gotta be added from factory at new

Can not find a definitive answer. Things i have read said as long as you have the optical parking sensors then it can be activated. Others saying it can't........ So confused lol

I had a mk6 Golf which had front and rear parking sensors and 2 extra sensors 1 on each front wing which would measure the distance of a gap between cars.

I believe that what mine has. So my understanding is that it has all the hardware. Just not activated.

Can't imagine it having the sensors and not being activated, can you post some pics?

 

[hpoolsteve]

Well double check tomorrow mate. When I go to work. I might be wrong. I might not have them.

Had it on a mk7 golf there was a switch you pushed to activate it, there were extra sensors on the outer edge of front bumper to measure distance to kerb

That's just standard PDC - Parking sensors only. Auto parking was never available on any 2014 UK Leon. If it was as simple as coding it to work you can guarantee hundreds on here would have done it.

Not sure why you'd want it anyway!

Thanks for clearing that up.

No trouble.

I believe someone on here a couple of years ago had a go at a custom install but it turned out to be, well, a lot of trouble.

To date, as far as I am aware, SEAT have never placed Auto Parking on their cars. The parking sensors, front and rear, and recently camera detection systems, which are a cost option, detect close objects and will warn you of any impending obstacles but the car will not park itself. Like a KIA.

I work for Kia and it's not foolproof, if one of the cars the you stop alongside is too near or on the kerb it confuses the sensors measurement, good then it works right though.

It was not a case of needing it. Was just curious to see if it was just an activation. If it had have been I would of had it for the sake of it.

Just like lane assist. I would have that just for the sake of it. But I don't have the camera in the windscreen

I have lane assist on my Cupra 290, weird, it pulls you back into lane when it detects white lines on the left and right from the forward facing camera, the steering wheel vibrates, such as on a motorway or A Roads, very weird, I suppose it is going towards driverless cars in the future! Don't use it much.
