Volkswagen T6.1 Parking Sensors Retrofit – OEM Front and Rear OPS

Looking to add genuine front and rear parking assistance to your VW T6.1? Our Volkswagen T6.1 parking sensors retrofit includes a full OEM OPS (Optical Parking System) upgrade, giving you both audible and visual alerts to help with safe and confident parking.

Once fitted, your T6.1 will display a clear image of the vehicle on the screen—whether you have a standard radio or factory navigation system—showing the exact position and distance to nearby obstacles. The system highlights any detected object using ultrasonic sensors placed in the bumpers, giving you an instant visual reference.

 

Key features of the VW T6.1 OPS retrofit:

  • Rear OPS activates automatically when reverse gear is selected.

  • Front sensors come on either with reverse or by pressing the PDC button on the dash.

  • A single beep confirms system activation, followed by increasingly frequent tones as you approach an object.

  • Once you're about 1 foot away, the tone becomes constant to warn you to stop.

  • If no obstacle is detected, the OPS system switches off automatically after a few seconds or when moving above ~6mph.

  • Sound alerts can be muted via the radio or navigation mute function.

  • Mute resets if the system is turned off and back on.

If your van is also equipped with a genuine VW reverse camera, both systems will work together seamlessly. Selecting reverse gear will activate the camera feed and bring up the parking sensor display, usually side-by-side on the left of the screen. Most modern MIB units support this integration or give you the option to switch between views.

Note: While this system is designed for OEM radios and nav systems, some aftermarket units (especially newer ones) may also support OPS display. Compatibility can vary slightly.
