Do you have park assist installed with all the sensors as well as coding?
If not, that switch is not going to do anything.

Right...

The function you require will wire the same way on a unit with two blanks...as it will on a unit with no blanks..

VW do not wire things differently when there is no need...

It doesn't matter what other functions the unit of 3 switch's have....the function you want wires into the switch the same way...because the switch units are all wired the same way for the same function..so park sensor function is wired the same way in the switch no matter the other switches are functions or blanks...

Why would VW wire a switch differently for the same function??

You have started several threads & asked masses of questions on basic stuff & repeatedly on the same parking sensor kit...


If you are so unsure (which you are) about wiring then do not do this yourself, get an auto electrician or dealer to do it....

i know the wiring is the same but i just dont know where to connect the wires, can you help me with that?

and i keep opening them cuz i dont get answers, no one replys anymore to the old thread.

and paying a electrician will cost more than the wiring, i'll do it myself

So there are no instructions with the parking kit you bought?

Then there's nowhere to connect the wires. Just pop out the old switches and pop in the new ones.

Are you trying to use the new TPMS button instead of the one that's already in the car? Is it in the glove compartment or in an Infotainment display? If it's in the glove compartment the new switch would probably need to be the same resistance if it's in the CAN. You would need to first measure the resistance in both switches to see if they're comparable, and if they are, trace the wiring from the switch in the glove compartment to see where it connects to a wire loom. Or splice in the new switch. I have no idea where to connect it if you already have it in Infotainment. I don't think that's possible.

Please don't confuse them even more FFS!!......

TPMS (indirect) switch can be added I did a how to guide & bought just the switch on its own (no wiring) from Aliexpress.

The reason I added it is direct access instead of power up infotainment & spend 12 secs hunting where the TPMS is in the settings....
