For all those interested in displaying of aftermarket sensor information on a factory display - it is possible!
Here is factory parking assist display on Japanese Outlander:


Now manually activated factory display:


The instrument cluster pinout:

7 - rear center.
8 - rear left.
9 - rear right.
10 - front left.
11 - front right (on the above pic)

Pins should be shorted to the ground for displaying.

Does anybody know the pinout/protocol of standard aftermarket parking assist display, like this one?

 

Can't see your pics

 

Uploaded to the different hosting.

 

I believe this generic ones just know you are close to something at one sensor, but not which one. Unless the LCD has a display to tell you which one, then you can maybe solder wires to the LCD terminals for that part and right into the dashboard module.

 

As I already have a headless parking radar, I will try to tinker in its main unit for querying each sensor's status.

 

Hallo,

I have asked my friendly dealer. I have already park distance controller at the front of my Mitsubishi Outlander modelyear 2011. I have an extra display for that. Now I see, that it will be that the front parking controller can seen at the main diaplay. My dealer said that is necessary to get a new control unit for parking distance control front and rear. I have seen that the connector C 125 under the steering wheel ist the connector for the pdc's.
If there is anybody that can bring us the solution let us know it.

Best regards from germany and sorry for my bad english language

Great find Vadimus. I hope you can get more details about this feature. With this, it may be possible to obtain readings of pressure for 4 tires and displayed at the same time into cluster from OEM TPMS sensors, it would be great to do this. . .

Vadimus, do you have japanese link for more information for PDC feature, like as circuit diagram?

 

Has anyone tried to enable this feature?

 

I do not think it's possible... Only "Low pressure warning", that's all.

Some info on factory parking system (BTW, printed from Lexia):

Connector C-125 is responsible for the behavior of the corner/back sensors. The following pins are responsible for the following events.

Pin#1: Ignition switch ON position and shift lever to R (reverse position) and this pin activates to 12V.
Pin#3: Ignition switch ON position and this pin activates to 12V
Pin#6 - Pin#9: Ignition switch ON position and these pins activate to 0V-8V (40 kHz pulse signal, emitted approx, every 125 ms)
Pin#10: Ignition switch ON position and this pin is 0V
Pin#11: Ignition switch ON position and this pin is 12V
Pin#12: Ignition switch ON position and Sonar switch ON and this pin is 12V
Pin#13: Ignition switch ON position and Sonar switch ON and this pin is 12V

Pin#6 - Pin#9 from connector C-125 is indeed responsible for transmitting electrical pulse signals to the rear sensors located in the rear bumper. The route is C-125, C-35, F-22, F-19, and the 4-sensors.

Pin#11, Pin#12, and Pin#13 of C-125 are the only pins that communicate with the Sonar switch (C-103). Pin#5 of C-317 is 12V (Battery) when the ignition switch is ON; and this pin is responsible for carrying current to C-125. Reversing maneuver signal is supplied through Pin# 1 in C-125.

From the above it seems that the “Parking” sensor aids are not just activated by the reverse event but also it is being activated when the ignition switch is ON and the Sonar switch is also ON. If this is true that means that the buzzer of the sonar switch will “sound” when an obstacle (e.g. another vehicle) approaches the test vehicle from behind when the test car is normally on the road at speed without any reversing actions.

My Outlander GT 2012 will be ready for collection about March next year, so I cannot experiment with the “parking” aid sensors. Comments appreciated.
