Hi all,
Today I went with my friend on a test drive in a MK6 Golf GTI which had park assist fitted. I wasn't aware that it was fitted to any Golfs but I was really impressed.
I can see people's point if they feel that if you can't park then you shouldn't drive but equally I'd prefer that than someone smacking into my car while parking.
For anyone who doesn't know - you switch park assist on, and the put the corresponding indicator on to the side you want to park. It then scans the spaces - once it finds one big enough, you drive past the space, select reverse and the car steers itself into the space with surprising accuracy!
What are people's views on it? Anyone else tried it?
Fantastic gadget - although I think the person who specified the car must not have been very confident parking - it had front and rear parking sensors, park assist and reversing camera!!!

Yes, lovely factory install but a very nifty retro fit mod indeed!
Eddie-NL and golfman have retro fitted (possibly others) this. Have a look at Golfmans build thread.

What's the difference between 1 and 2?
-
2 is other than parallel parking eg those car parking bays in the dreaded super market! :happy2:
Sounds a super tricky retrofit and not for the faint hearted!

Surely the reversing camera is all you need there :grin:

The reversing camera is a in car game of chicken,for the driver who loves entertainment!
Park assist 2:-
This is a factory install for those who've got married and handed over their keys as well as their wallet to the other half!
The retrofit is for those who don't watch soaps (I assume) but love a puzzle and don't like sudoku (cause it's a real puzzle).

I do have to admit the reversing camera is somewhat entertaining to use :signLOL:
