Purpose and function in the PDC system

The presented sensor is a component of the parking assistance system in the Mini Cooper R60 Countryman, operating in the rear part of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating a feedback signal for the PDC control unit, which then informs the driver about approaching obstacles behind the car. A properly functioning rear sensor improves maneuvering comfort, reduces the risk of minor parking collisions, and supports safe reversing in tight spaces.

Color matching Surf Blue Metallic - B18

A significant feature of this model is its factory finish in Surf Blue Metallic - B18, characteristic of many Mini Cooper R60 Countryman units. The painted housing surface allows for aesthetic integration with the rear bumper without the need for additional painting. As a result, after installation, the sensor does not stand out from other body elements, maintaining a consistent, original look for the car.

Installation and operational characteristics

The sensor is adapted for installation in the rear of the vehicle, in the factory bumper socket of the Mini Cooper R60 Countryman. The OEM design facilitates installation in place of a worn or damaged component without the need for modifications to the wiring or mounts. Proper seating in the bumper and correct connection to the electrical system allow for full functionality of the PDC system, including accurate signaling of the distance from obstacles.

Benefits of using an original parking sensor

Using an original parking sensor in the Mini Cooper R60 Countryman translates into stable operation of the PDC system and predictable performance under various operating conditions. This component is designed for compatibility with the vehicle's electronics, which minimizes the risk of system errors and incorrect distance readings. Additionally, the color match to the bodywork helps maintain the car's factory aesthetics, which is important both for daily use and for potential vehicle resale.

Condition and origin

The offered sensor comes from disassembly and is a used part, which is a cost-effective solution while maintaining the original Mini specification. This type of component is particularly attractive in situations where it is necessary to replace a single sensor in the rear bumper, and the priority remains compliance with the factory PDC system and maintaining a consistent body appearance.
