Factory Park Sensors / Park Assist Project

[ZerOne]

There are 3 different types of parking sensors for VE Commodore and derivitives.
These include,
1) The Factory Front and Rear Park Assist System, which has both Audio and Visual feedback via the colour entertainment screen.
2) The Factory Rear Parking Sensors, which have audio feedback only.
3) HSV and HSVi Dealer fit rear parking sensors, as can be found on eBay.

Options 2 and 3 have a seperate sounder unit (speaker) that beeps according to the parking sensor distance from an object.

The Factory front and rear park assist has an additional module for the front park sensors, as well as extra connectors for canbus, park assist ON/Off Button, and LED status.
This model places sensor data on the Canbus for the colour Entertainment screen to display the parking distance in real time, on a vehicle overlay.

This project will consist of the following parts.
1) obtaining the Canbus data for each sensor, including distance information.
2) Attempting to replicate this data on the Canbus using a PC to spoof park assist information on the screen
3) Building an Arduino hardware based park assist solution, that utilises aftermarket, or HSVi Dealer fit sensors for front and rear bumpers, to deliver the required Canbus information for the Colour Entertainment screen (Park assist)

If anyone is interested in this project, please let me know

I have obtained some factory templates for the VE SWB Sedan (Omega, SV6, SS and SS-V) Models.
These templates use the tail lights and the boot as reference points (So for Berlina and Calais Models with the larger tail lights, these templates may require a bit of fudging to use).

These templates have been scanned in from A3 Pages (So the templates are large in size, and should be printed on an A3 capable printer for use).
If you do not have access to an A3 printer, the local library, Office Works (In Australia) or even an Internet cafe may be able to provide this service.

The templates are pretty self explanatory, and are for the full four head factory system.

This post contains some of the 29Bit Can Data information found for the Factory Fit (Calais V, Statesman, Caprice and HSV Senator models).

Presently, only the Park Assist beeps still need to be sniffed in order to parrot all the park assist functionality of the factory unit.
(This should be completed within the next week or so)

Hi ZerOne

Im new to this forum and site.

I own a 2011 VE E3 Clubsport Wagon and whilst I have rear park assist which is audio and visual im enquiring how can I get front park assist to operate through the original unit of the car.

My brother has the HSV Senator signature sedan and he has the front and rear park assist with audio and visual.

Both our cars interior setup is exactly the same and I think he may have the colour touch IOS unit as mine does.

Now aside from obviously purchasing the front sensors what else do I need to purchase and where can I purchase these and most importantly is their anyone that sells or fits these upgrades???

Regards
Tass
