Fiat Parking Sensor Parking Dynamics PD1

Introducing a NEW Parking & Reversing Technology, that is Discrete, Unique, & 100% Reliable... Nobody will ever know its Fitted!

The Fiat Parking Dynamics PD1 Parking Sensor uses unique 100% Responsive and Reliable Electromagnetic Technology making parking Safer and Easier, preventing Bumps, Scrapes and Tragic Accidents. 

As recently reported by the insurance industry, 27% of vehicle accidents are now caused by driver error, when parking and reversing! With more cars on the road now than ever before, the Risk is even greater for accidents to occur. The Fiat Parking Dynamics PD1 will give you peace-of-mind and total parking confidence. 

This revolutionary technology only previously used by a few elite car manufacturers is now available to you and your car, and takes parking sensor technology to the next level, leaving the ultrasonic type of sensor kits a sorry 2nd best in design and performance.

Unique Design:

The Fiat PD1 Parking sensor uses a unique adhesive antenna design that discretely mounts on the inner side of your plastic bumper preserving the 'new factory look' of your vehicle, so only you will know it is fitted. 

Totally unique in design, the Fiat PD1 is a superior alternative to the older ultrasonic type sensor technology that requires you to drill 4 or 6 holes in your bumper, mounting ugly black sensors that then need painting to colour code and match the shade of your bumper... The Parking Dynamics PD1 makes this a thing of the past! 

The Parking Dynamics PD1 will fit any Car, Vehicle, Van, Motor home & Caravan (12V) that have a plastic bumper fitted, ensuring maximum compatibility, functionality, reliability and high performance accuracy when parking and reversing. You have no need to be concerned as 99% of vehicles have plastic bumpers.

Operation and Early Detection:

Using Electromagnetic Technology, the Fiat PD1 parking sensor will scan the full length of your bumper, from end to end picking up all objects behind your vehicle. The PD1 detects children, people, adults the elderly plus cars, vehicles, small kerbs, walls, barriers, pillars, posts, skips, etc. Whatever is behind you can rest assured the Fiat PD1 will detect this object and alert you to its presence allowing you to react, with time to spare.

When reverse gear is engaged the parking sensor system provides an instant, automatic, self-diagnostic function that maps out the surrounding area of your bumper constantly monitoring this as you reverse with 100% accuracy, providing you with 3 different audible tones (Zones) alerting you of your proximity in relation to surrounding objects! 

As you reverse Zone 1 (furthest away from the object) picks up the object first. 

Zone 1: 0.8 to 0.5 Metres in length - The 1st tone signals with a slow "be-be-be" sound 
Zone 2: 0.5 to 0.25 Metres in length - The 2nd tone is a faster "be-be-be" sound 
Zone 3: 0.25 to 0 Metres in length - the 3rd tone is a constant "beeeeeep" sound

The Antenna is a very strong flexible adhesive metallic tape that mounts behind the bumper. Its 2.7m length ensures 100% bumper coverage of even the largest vehicle, offering a full, all round detection zone. This can be cut to any length in seconds.

The Sensor is the 'brain' of the PD1, and mounts securely using the supplied adhesive Velcro either inside the boot or behind the vehicle bumper. Dimensions of this discrete unit are (L57mm x H13mm x D33mm)

The Speaker is small and at just 20mm in diameter mounts anywhere inside the vehicle. The audible tones that are emitted to alert you of the proximity of surrounding objects can be clearly heard even when mounted at the back of the vehicle close to interior panels.

Installing the PD1 Parking Sensor on Fiat cars & vehicles with a plastic bumper!

The Parking Dynamics PD1 Parking Sensor is a Robust, Reliable, Ultra Discreet, No-Drill, Easy Fit, High Performance product that fits all Fiat Cars and Vehicles (12V).

The Fiat Parking Dynamics PD1 is compatible with vehicles that have a plastic bumper and as 99% of cars and vehicles have plastic bumpers, you have no need to be concerned, even if your bumper appears part metal. If you are in any doubt please contact us.

Mounting the Unit:

Install the Fiat parking sensor unit on the inside of the vehicle next to where the reversing light is situated, behind the trim and attach to the body or trim with the included adhesive mount. Typically the passenger side is more suitable. You then pass the antenna wire from the unit through the hole with the grommet fitted (this hole is now provided by vehicle manufacturers) to connect to the antenna on your bumper. On older vehicles or in cases where it is not possible to find a small hole, this must be drilled and the wire passed through using a grommet. If there is no room inside of your vehicle (highly unlikely) the unit can be mounted behind the bumper.

Mounting the Speaker:

Mount the parking sensor speaker using the included adhesive mount in the boot onto any plastic trim or shelf or to the rear parcel shelf. The volume is loud enough to provide a good warning even if mounted close to the trim. This connects into the unit by push fit connection.

Mounting the Antenna:

Mount the silver parking sensor antenna (adhesive strip) onto the inside of the Fiat Rear Bumper (making sure the bumper surface is clean before attaching) with the connector on the side where you have located the unit. When the antenna has been attached, covering the the bumper from left to right, the excess length is cut off. Place a piece of tape at either end of the antenna to ensure a secure installation onto the bumper.

It is important that the antenna is installed at the highest part from the ground that corresponds to the furthest distance from the vehicle body as a precaution to prevent any interference from metal parts. Generally the best position of the parking sensor antenna is 40-50cm from ground level, but not essential. 

Once the Fiat bumper is removed, if your vehicle has a metal crash protection bar and you think that the antenna will be within 2 cm's of this metal bar (once the bumper is re-fitted) then you can cover this using Black Duct Tape to prevent any interference. This is available from any DIY store. Please Do Not use silver Duct Tape as this contains metal particles.

Electrical Connections

1) Black wire MUST be connected to the ground (body / chassis) of the vehicle.
2) Red wire is connected to the 12V supply wire of the reversing light. Live only when reverse gear is selected.
3) Connect the antenna connection wire from the unit to the antenna

Bumper Removal

99% of car & vehicle bumpers are made of plastic. When installing the Fiat Parking Dynamics PD1 car parking sensor, depending on your vehicle, the bumper may have to be removed, but on some cars you can get away with just loosening the bumper by releasing the locator screws. If you choose to pay for installation most auto electricians, mechanics and body shop technicians will remove the bumper literally in minutes.

Removal of the bumper is not as difficult as it at first may seem and is typically held on with 2-4 screws and some locators. In some cases rivets are used that need to be drilled out and simply replaced from your dealer parts department (at a minimal cost) when re-fitting.

If you are a keen DIYer and will be installing the Fiat PD1 parking sensor yourself, (if required) you can ask your dealer parts department for an exploded view (print off) of your rear bumper, this will show you exactly how the bumper is held on to the vehicle and where any screws, locators or rivets can be found.
