CAN Bus Wiring Systems in the PD1

 The CAN Bus or Controller Area Network wiring system was created in 1980 by Bosch.  It may surprise you that something created more than 20 years ago is still being used in the parking aids.  The reason for this is the technology.  The systems are an electromagnetic design that offers you the ability to have aid when parking your vehicle.  The wires adhere to almost any bumper without modification.  Then the CAN bus system will send the information along the wiring so that you get the signal the sensor is passing you.  The technology works so that there is no delay in the information given to you when you are parking.

Let’s take a look at the PD1 sensor.  The PD1 or Parking Dynamics 1 is made with the electromagnetic technology and CAN bus wiring system.  It is the only parking sensor like it on the market.  All others are the ultrasonic version requiring modification to your bumper and they also are not compatible with the CAN bus wiring system without modification.  Some of the vehicles with the ultrasonic parking sensors will never be compatible with the CAN bus wiring system.
The great thing about the Parking Dynamics front and reverse sensor is the low maintenance.  The ultrasonic sensors like Steel Mate and Laser Line require maintenance because they are placed on the outside of the bumper.  This means a lot of dirt and other debris can actually cause a malfunction.  The Parking Dynamics or PS1 sensor is on the back side of the bumper where it is harder to get damaged.  Plus the manufacturing of the sensor makes it maintenance free.
If you want consistency with your parking aids the best option will be the PD1 with easy installation, the CAN bus system, and no maintenance.  You will always know where your bumpers are.

Customer Testimonials

I can't believe the ease by which the parking sensor was fitted and we just love the discrete 'hidden' sensor design. What a difference the PD1 makes to both mine and my wife's parking and reversing.

The audible alert keeps our attention to a maximum level and really helps with tight parking spaces.
