PDC front and rear
It "looks" like it's there but their are components missing from the pcb so it won't work.
I checked this out previously and thought I could get it sorted, alas that idea got scrapped. Even more so when I picked up a very nice mint switch unit for £55

at £189 is the cheapest I've found for that part #. I paid a bit more for mine. I've ordered from Baum before, it's a decent shop.

Hi Chris
I just need to get the front sensor mounting brackets. It seems like the kit only has the rear mounting brackets but looms for front and rear.
What I am missing though, is the instructions. Do you have a set I could have a copy of ?
@Dave - I’ve watched your videos a few times and am going to try this one weekend when it’s dry in the summer. Are you planning to do a full install using the retrofit kit looms - only ask as the looms don’t all have plug in adapters but pegs which clearly need inserting in something.
Also the clips for the cable ties, they don’t appear to be in the retrofit kit. Where did you source these from ? There are what appears to be 4 clips but they look like cable crimps to me.
Any help most welcome… thanks guys.

My retrofit is finished as is now, apart from, eventually, replacing the front bumper due to last years deer incident!!
The clips I used were ones I liberated from work some time ago, so don't know where to find them.

Good luck Simnew, and don't hesitate to take a lot of pictures of the steps -- especially the ones that you didn't find elsewhere and add to the body of knowledge.
You could do video too, but not all of us are as naturally photogenic as Dave.

Hi Chris
Just ordered the last parts yesterday - the front transducer mounting points and Dave kindly provided the missing instructions. Just need to check for the cable to front bumper mounting clips that the cable ties will lace through.
And you’re right, maybe I will be inspired by Dave and make a video when I do it. I will have to do lots of audio editing to take out the swearing, but who knows, it might be useful for someone and give some use to the GoPro I’ve had for a couple of years and never really used. We’ll see.

I would like to see more videos of the process. I think I've already watched all of Daves videos. I've got to do my Bluetooth upgrade first then I'm going to try the PDC assuming I can still get the wiring set.simnew wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2023 6:46 am And you’re right, maybe I will be inspired by Dave and make a video when I do it.

Hi,
I've started to assemble the parts I need to do this retrofit. I've got the PDC controller, but I'm struggling to find the retrofit kit or any E89 PDC wiring looms. Has anyone seen any available online, or is there anything I can use with some minor adjustments?
Thanks,
Nick

It may be out of stock currently, but it is indicating that it will be restocked.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/195672933757 This ebay seller indicates availability from Latvia, but they usually source parts after the transaction and take weeks/months to deliver. I've purchased 2 items from them and YMMV in results. Buyer beware.

Thanks, Chris. From my last few weeks of research, it seems like 66 20 2 157 297 is no longer available, and everyone I've tried is out of stock. I was particularly interested in how Dave put together his custom loom. I've already found the module, sensors and bracket based on the AnubisZed post you quoted.
Thanks for the update Chris, I’ll keep an eye on the sites. Has anyone had any success using another car harness? I wondered about trying to use a E88 but I suspect the grommet is different.
Thanks,
Nick
