Default PDC sensors with rear CAM kufatek

Hey Guys,

so Im about to retrofit both front and rear sensorz + rear cam and Im a bit confused what exactly need to buy. On Kufatec, Ive found a complete set, but wanted to ask if there is anything else I need? Kufatec replied me that I need to buy also a diagnostic interface, but not sure if I really need it.

here are the links to make it a bit more clear:

https://www.kufatec.de/shop/en/audi/...retrofit-a7-4g

https://www.kufatec.de/shop/en/audi/...7-4g?tab=cross

and under the accessories, You can find the diag interface.

thanks!

The short answer is no.

What this unit does is do the necessary software coding automatically.

So if you buy it, after installing and connecting all the hardware, you plug this device into the OBD interface connector and it will do all the coding from an embedded script.

Otherwise, after installing and connecting all the hardware, you will have to manually add/change all the coding needed to make your newly installed sensors and camera work.

thanks a lot, I thought so but was not sure

and how about the ECU? each set has its own, do I need them both or the cam could be plugged in to the one used by the sensors? cause on the diagram from elsa, both ECUs are on the same spot i guess

That depends on the particular ECU installed in the vehicle. You need to check if it has a socket to plug the camera in.
