Volkswagen’s Optical Parking System (OPS) gives a visual display of the rear and front (where fitted) PDC sensors on the RCD 310, RCD 510 and RNS 510.
Vehicles with genuine Volkswagen PDC and a suitable headunit can be upgrade to the Optical Parking System through a few simple upgrades.
The CAN gateway needs to be revision E or later, MY08 vehicles already have this fitted.
CAN Gateway – 3C0 907 530 E (3C0907530E)
PDC Control Unit – 3C8 919 475 (3C8919475)
Wiring for CANBUS (runs from front of car to the rear where PDC Control Unit is located)
Repair Wire - 000 979 009 (000979009) x 1
CAN cable (10M) - 000 979 987 (000979987) x 1
Webbing Adhesive (10M) - 000 979 950 (000979950) x 1
The new PDC controller doesn’t connect to the comfort CANBUS network but instead the drive CANBUS network. If you have bi-xenons installed the controller for this can be used to connect into the CANBUS network otherwise you need to use the CAN gateway.
Remove the three connectors from the PDC unit (located near the drivers side of the car behind the rear wheel inside)
The brown plug (T16) with a orange/brown cable on pin 7 and orange/purple cable on pin 14 needs to have the outer housing removed by lifting the clip on the end and sliding the black connector out. Pin 7 and 14 are connected to the Comfort CANBUS network.
Remove pins 3, 7 and 14 as these are no longer required and ensure they are individually protected again short circuit with heatshrink tubing or electrical tape.
Connect the can bus cabling.
CAN High goes to T16 Pin 6
CAN Low goes to T16 Pin 15
Connecting the CANBUS network.
On the bi-xenon connector (T-26) Pin 2 is CAN High (orange/purple) and Pin 3 is CAN Low (orange/brown)
On the CAN gate connector (T-20e) Pin 16 is CAN High and Pin 6 is CAN Low.
Remove the connector (blue) from the CAN Gateway and remove pin 2.
The old PDC was at address 76 and the new one OPS is address 10.
A problem that can occur after the CAN gateway upgrade if the car is fitted with the premium telephone kit is a 2A power draw issue, if this occurs the numeric keypad (5D) has a software revision of 0018 or older, have a VW dealer flash this with a software revision 0019 or later to solve the problem. The numeric keypad has a hardware revision of 11 and software of 0018. Other solutions include removing the keypad and using the RCD 310/RCD 510 or RNS 510 screen, purchasing a new keypad or powering the keypad from a switched power supply.

Hey Maverick fantastic post !!!!
Its still helping people out ! and not only VWs but Skoda s too…
Based on your post I’m planning on going for the columbus on my skoda Octavia II FL ’09..
I’ve already updated to a parking sensor controller 1Z0 919 475 B ..however I’m not sure if I have to update the CAN Gateway my part number is – 1K0907530 S…revision – h16..
If you can give me any help , it’ll be great !!!
Keep up the good work !!!
Regards!
hello can you activated OPS with address 10 if you retrofitted ops your self? thanx in advance bjorn netherlands
Yes it will work.
Hi! I didn’t figure out anything with my Polo! The PDC/OPS I installed in my car is 6R0919475B; don’t know why BUT even if configured the system doesn’t accept the coding related to the OPS
Right coding in module with address 10 is:
10 = OPS Active
01 = Automatic Transmission and No trailer hitch
01 = Module Coded for Polo 6R
This is a print screen of VCDS Error I receive: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3607/96211853.jpg
Therefore final code result to be 000101
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
I think the problem is in the address of the Pins; in fact, I have the bi-xenon fitted in my car and it looks like, about cabling:
CAN High goes to T16 Pin 6
CAN Low goes to T16 Pin 15.
According to Your guide, do I have to change the Pins on the bi-xenon connector? PDC/OPS are already address 10! Where the bi-xenon connector is located?
After this it should work, am I right?
connecting to GATEWAY:
?20? pin 16 – CAN ??????? High
?20? pin 06 – CAN ??????? Low
This upgrade is wrong.
You have to unplug conector 3 but you need to plug on pin 1 on T16
can Network plug is corret
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT
Rear external left sensor pin 2 must be unpluged from pin6 on T12 conector and pluged into pin 5
Rear external right sensor pin 1 2 and 3 must be unpluged.
The old pin 1 now plugs on pin 3
The old pin 3 now plugs on pin 2
The old pin 2 now plugs on pin 1
Our new pin 1 now is conected to pin 11 from PDC, now must be unpluged from pin 11 on T12 conector and pluged into pin 4
all based in ELSA.
I’m retrofitting a Golf V PDC only with buzz not ops to a Seat Altea PDC front/rear system with ops.

Hey Maverick,
Sorry I’m a newbie.
I need a few things doing to a RNS510 in a 2008 Passat. I was wondering whether you can be of assistance with fittings? Obviously I would be willing to pay for your help. I need the following doing:
Updating firmware on RNS510 – I can’t access secret menu and need VAGCOM to update. Tried a few downloaded firmware updates but gets errors halfway through. Unit works fine though.
Change from PDC to OPS (I have factory fitted front and back sensors).
Adding Rear head rest monitors and connecting via TV OUT on RNS510
Changing bluetooth module from rSap to non rSap (Skoda UHV?)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bonjour, je possède un Touareg v10 de 2004 avec rns510. Est il possible de faire l’adaptation ?
Merci
Good friends and I have a problem connected to a seat leon OPS everything works correctly I get the graph in RNS510 and the vag-com does not give me any error sensors seems that everyone is fine except that I put reverse gear and whistle stop sending you an e videio that recorded for the failure that you see if you can have alluded to fix a greeting from Spain .Then sometimes sounds like an ambulance siren do not know where this error may come hope your help many thanks

I Upgrade PDC to OPS on my JETTA 08 with RNS510 now i have problem that the OPS some times working sound only not optical on rns , but when i make restart for rns it will show the ops also on rns what’s my problem where’s the fault ?
I want to install this.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between CANBUS network and CANBUS gateway, and where it’s situated?
Regards
CAN bus network is the run of cable that the the devices connect to (comfort, engine etc) and the CAN bus gateway allows communication between the networks.
Islam Zaki, what you change , the control unit (Bosch to Valeo) and the sensors , or just unit control.
I have bosch control unit and original sensors and i want upgrade to OPS. Thanks!
