FAQs
Is this sensor compatible with all BMW models?
No, compatibility depends on the specific year and trim level of your BMW. Please check your vehicle's part number against the XPAR148 specifications.
Can I paint this sensor to match my bumper?
While many sensors can be painted, use only a thin layer of automotive paint. Heavy coats can interfere with the ultrasonic wave transmission.
Does this sensor come with a warranty?
Warranty terms vary by retailer. Please check the documentation provided at the time of purchase.
Is professional installation required?
While it is a direct replacement part, professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable removing bumper components or using diagnostic software.
What is the diameter of this sensor?
The XPAR148 features a standard 28 mm diameter.
Troubleshooting
Continuous beeping or 'PDC Failure' error message
Check if the sensor is clean and free of debris; if the issue persists, the sensor may need calibration via a diagnostic tool.
Sensor not detecting obstacles
Verify the electrical connection at the harness and check for bent pins in the connector.
Erratic behavior or ghost detection
Ensure the sensor is correctly seated in the bumper bracket and not loose, which can cause signal interference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the XPAR148 sensor typically requires removing the bumper fascia to access the back of the parking sensor housing. Ensure the vehicle's ignition is set to the 'OFF' position before disconnecting the existing wiring harness. When installing, ensure the sensor clicks firmly into the mounting clip and that the electrical connector is seated correctly to prevent moisture ingress. For maintenance, simply wipe the sensor surface with a soft, damp cloth during regular vehicle washes. Avoid using high-pressure sprayers directly on the sensor face from a close distance, as this can damage the internal components. Always consult your vehicle's service manual to confirm if a dealer-level diagnostic scan tool is required to calibrate the new sensor to your car's PDC module.
