Performance and Specifications
This buzzer is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the PDC (Park Distance Control) systems found in VAG group vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check if this buzzer is compatible with my car?
Check the original buzzer installed in your vehicle and look for the OEM part number on the casing. If it matches any of the 5 compatible codes (5Q0 919 279, 8E0 919 279, 4B0 919 279, 4D0 919 279, or 3C0 919 279), this product is a direct fit.
Do I need to code or reprogram the car after installation?
No. It connects directly to the original plug and works immediately. There is no need for a garage visit or any software intervention.
Does this work for front sensors as well as rear?
Yes. The buzzer is compatible with both front and rear PDC systems, depending on your vehicle’s configuration.
How do I know if the buzzer is faulty and not another part of the system?
Common signs include: no sound when the sensors are activated, distorted or intermittent sound, or a PDC error message on your dashboard. If your sensors are physically functional and the control unit reports no other faults, the buzzer is the most likely culprit.
Where is the buzzer located in the car?
It is typically located in the boot or under the dashboard, either centrally or to the side. The exact location varies by model; please consult your vehicle’s technical manual if you cannot locate it easily.
