Many modern vehicles have sacrificed their clarity for design and safety. In new vehicle models, it is impossible to get a clear view of the bodywork, either at the front or at the rear. It is therefore not uncommon for even an experienced driver to overlook poorly visible obstacles such as concrete posts, boundary stones or poles.
The professional retrofitting of a parking aid can therefore not only prevent scratches, but also tragic accidents. When selecting the right parking aid, it is important to ensure that even very small or narrow obstacles and moving objects, such as pedestrians, are reliably detected. That is why all 4-sensor parking aids from AMPIRE have the best possible obstacle detection. Many other systems do not meet these high requirements of car manufacturers and therefore do not protect to the same extent.
The sensors can, of course, be painted over and, thanks to their flat construction, integrate into the design of your vehicle. Visually, the sensors hardly differ from standard parking systems.

You too can rely on the original equipment quality of a renowned automotive supplier. The systems, designed for durability, are definitely worth every cent.
What does a retrofitted PDC offer you? What can it do more than the standard PDC?
If your vehicle only has a rear parking sensor fitted ex works, you can also retrofit a PDC at the front to show you the distance.
The bike carrier installed on your vehicle protrudes far out and the factory-fitted PDC is useless. Here you can retrofit a radio-controlled PDC from Ampire to the carrier.
Parking with a trailer is much easier with a PDC. Here you can retrofit a PDC from Ampire to the trailer. There is only one radio receiver in the towing vehicle.
What are the limits of a PDC? What can a retrofitted parking sensor not do?
The narrow posts of road signs reflect the ultrasonic signal of the PDC sensors very poorly and could not be detected.
The ultrasonic sensors of the PDC do not detect holes in front of or behind the vehicle. Only obstacles that reflect the sound.
The trailer coupling of a vehicle reflects the ultrasonic signal of the park distance control sensors very poorly and could not be detected.
Kerbs in front of the vehicle are not in the detection field of the ultrasonic parking sensors and may not be detected.
Side kerbs that could damage your rims are not in the detection field of the ultrasonic parking sensors and are not detected.
The drawbar of a trailer reflects the ultrasonic signal of the park distance control sensors very poorly and may not be detected.
Parking in tight spaces, maneuvering a motorhome, or handling a trailer can be a real challenge. Visibility is often restricted, and the risk of scratches, dents, or even major accidents is high. The solution: a retrofitted PDC parking aid. But why is this investment in your vehicle's safety so worthwhile?
Increased Safety: Parking aids, such as the high-quality systems from AMPIRE, warn you of obstacles with acoustic and/or visual signals. This helps you avoid collisions with bollards, curbs, other vehicles, or even people. This is an invaluable advantage, especially when maneuvering a motorhome or a trailer, as blind spots are significantly minimized.
Vehicle Protection: Small moments of inattention while parking can quickly lead to costly damage to the bumpers. A PDC (Park Distance Control) helps prevent this damage and maintain the value of your car.
Convenience and Stress Reduction: Parking becomes much more relaxed and easier. You can rely on the signals from the parking aid and no longer have to strain your neck or get out of the car to assess the situation.
Versatility: Modern PDC systems are not just designed for the rear. AMPIRE, for example, also offers front parking aids that make parking in tight spaces and garages easier. There are also special solutions for trailers that make reversing significantly safer.
When retrofitting a PDC parking aid, quality is crucial. The AMPIRE systems are impressive across the board and are in no way inferior to the original systems from car manufacturers in terms of reliability and functionality. The OEM quality guarantees a long service life and precise functionality.
A special highlight of the AMPIRE parking aids is the easy installation. Thanks to innovative technology such as the wireless speaker or the wireless display, wiring is reduced to an absolute minimum. The sensors on the bumper communicate wirelessly with the display unit inside the vehicle. This not only saves time and effort during retrofitting but also allows for uncomplicated integration into almost any vehicle—be it a car, a motorhome, or a trailer.
Retrofitting a PDC parking aid is an investment that pays off in many ways. It increases safety for you and other road users, protects your vehicle from expensive damage, and increases convenience when driving and maneuvering. With the high-quality and easy-to-install systems from AMPIRE, which have been specially developed for the front and rear as well as for trailers, you are making the right choice for a safe and relaxed journey.
