This is an unfortunate aftereffect of using a third party RS style grill for some people - me included, although only occurs during damp weather.

Here’s a thread that has more details and ideas that others have had. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/aud...issue-2960592/

Did you calibrate the sensors and how much that will cost

I did not. There are no codes thrown, so calibration would not accomplish anything, except to ensure cash was parted from my wallet. There was another recently thread where someone said it was $500 to have the dealer calibrate their sensors.

Dry conditions? Are these OEM sensors, or from China? Try to align the sensors or swap out with OEM ones.

There's nothing to calibrate regarding the "parking sensors". If a calibration is done, it's for the ACC radars. It doesn't look like OP has those radars though.
