E86 PDC replacement

I’m looking for some advice , when I purchased my E86 it had previously had a rear accident and rear bumper replaced and in process the PDC module appears to be removed although car is still coded with PDC as going in reverse I get the annoying beep.

I spoke to audio installer who also does PDC he was advising best to get the factory PDC coded out and then install and 3rd party one and be much cheaper he was quoting £210 fitted for the 3rd party PDC.

He was saying not possible as my replacement bumper not oem as no Sensor holes and rattled off several reasons not able to fit 2nd hand and would need this and that and would all end up costing a fortune.
I’ve seen 2nd hand PDC modules on eBay like £20 and then colour coded rear sensors just under £35 each.

Looking advice on best thing to do, my car doesn’t have the housing for sensors it seems in bumper.
We was more looking for the DSP but says didn’t see PDC module.

If it is possible to buy 2nd hand and get PDC going what all do I need ?
I believe the PDC module should be on right hand side of photo ? If it was there can it be seen in photo ?

This is where the PDC module is mounted, it has a bracket that it bolts to then onto some mounting points.

Ok thanks. An earlier mechanic had run a diagnostic and he seemed to think was still showing installed in the car but giving error, I did think it was supposed to be more behind the drivers seat area but pretty sure it’s not installed where your pointing to , cheers
 
Interesting I just looked through my photos and on zooming in I can see it’s the PDC still there 😀thanks for pointing out , so is it case I only need 4x sensors and the harness and I should be good to go ?

Maybe there is some truth in complicated if after market bumper although unsure on that but installer said if I did go oem route the bumber needs removed and whole lot of work can anyone clarify that ? Now I’ve found original PDC module , thinking strange PDC wasn’t installed on new bumper and what reason was…
