Parking aid control unit J446

Introduction

The Audi TT Coupé ´07 is equipped for the first time with an acoustic parking system with ultrasonic sensors
as featured previously in other Audi models. A 4-channel rear acoustic parking system is available as optional
equipment.
The term "4-channel rear acoustic parking system" means that 4 acoustic parking sensors which monitor the
area behind the vehicle are integrated in the rear bumper cover.

The acoustic parking system control unit J446 is
a carry-over part from the Audi A3 ‘04. Both the
hardware and the software are identical.
The systems in the Audi TT Coupé ´07 and in the
Audi A3 ’04 (different installation positions of the
acoustic parking sensor in the rear bumper) are
differentiated by the software based on the control
unit coding.

In the Audi TT Coupé ´07, the acoustic parking
system control unit is located at the rear right on
a control unit holder. It is arranged above the
convenience electronics central control unit J393.

Acoustic parking system adjustment options

In the Audi TT Coupé ´07, the volume and pitch (frequency) of the acoustic parking system can, for the first
time, be adjusted via the "Extended convenience menu" in the control unit with display in dash panel insert.

Alternatively, these settings can be made at the service centre using the diagnostic tester. There are
appropriate adaption channels in the acoustic parking system control unit for this purpose.

The relevant menu can be accessed as follows:

So-called fifth-generation acoustic parking sensors
are used in the Audi TT Coupé ´07.This generation of
sensors was used for the first time by Audi in the
Audi Q7. These sensors are much smaller than the
fourth generation sensors and no longer have a
fixed plastic housing which accommodates the
oscillating membrane.

It has been replaced by an expandable decoupling
ring, which is fitted on the ultrasonic sensor.
The decoupling ring must be removed to paint the
acoustic parking sensor.
