Is that a 7.5?
Not sure. Why? Is there a difference in the PLA sensor brackets between the 7 and the 7.5?

Dunno then!I've seen a video of a MK6 Golf Cabrio, one of a kind in Israel a few days ago - someone imported it from Germany. Surprisingly enough, it had PLA from factory. The guy shot a video of the exterior and the rear also seemed to have "inner" side sensors rather than flat.
Dunno then!
Easy enough to swap the brackets over if you'd like to. I find the flat ones actually end up looking better hahaha.
I was thinking of retrofitting PLA/PDC on my 7.5 wagon/variant/estate but after seeing the troubles you have been having with just using the brackets, I may just stick with front/rear PDC and skip the PLA. Otherwise, glad to see you getting everything up and running!
FWIW I had no issues barring a simple pin swap.Gotcha! I was thinking I would be using the Kufatec kit over the AliExpress kit after hearing about how many issues you are all having with it. I know a local who did the retrofit on his now late Golf R a while back which I assist with but he did most of the work but he does have the correct punch tool for the normal PDC sensors. I believe he used the kit from Carsystems.eu which worked out well for him. As of now, this is not high on my list of stuff to do on this wagon I have due to cost but it is on my list for sure. I do miss them from my previous car which had them stock.
I haven't powered mine up but I expect no issues. Based only on @Fraysa's issues I did inspect the terminations of pins at every connector, didn't find a single issue. I did swap the pins going to the rear sensors because I ran the harness along the right side of the vehicle, per OEM drawings.
As we figured out this harness is built to be routed on the left side and is pinned accordingly. That matches the instructions of the carsystems install PDF. This suggests to me that they are the same harness, which means I'm buying from whoever has it cheapest, .
Can confirm it's absolutely not. I've bought a few things from CarSystems before I started buying them from AliExpress.. definitely genuine EU market goods.I'm pretty sure carsystems is just a rebranded AliExpress.
From now on, going to use Kufatec harnesses in my car/genuine OEM parts. No more AliExpress haha.
