Just got a call from the Mrs.
There is quite alot of audible crackles and pops coming through the cars speakers whenever the reverse sensors are engaged.
I never noticed anything yesterday when i took the car back and the mechanic had a test before handover and said everything was ok.
Sounds like static, or when your shorting 2 wires together she said.
She assumed it was maybe interfering with the DAB radio /Digital TV,
Switched off the infotainment system, but still no luck, the noises were still there.
Awaiting a call back from dealer now.
God am starting too dread the knock on effect of the fix.
(Obviously never happened before as the sensor harness was not connected from day 1)
Am sure there was a post way back from Russell on here with regards too the same problem but i cant find it

Bluetooth issues
Is anyone else suffering from loud cracks and pops when using the Bluetooth?
The sound effects are coming through the speakers.
Mrs told me last week that there was a problem.
Exact same happened when I used my phone this evening.
(It's the exact same noises which are coming from the sensors when engaging the car into reverse or forward!!)

Hi JPE, sorry for the late reply.
My advice is that if the car is under warranty which am 100% sure it is, then let the dealer sort it. If they messed up then they will have to fix it FOC. Also it may need the CCF files changed. Ours didn't but am not sure if this was initially done after the tow bar was fitted, or if it ever needed to be done in the first place ?
No unfortunately not, I could not see the wiring loom, plug or cables dangling down anywhere.
The whole bumper had to come off to access the wiring loom for the sensors. I gather it was tucked up neatly high up the inside of the rear bumper. If I had seen them I would have easily just popped them back in.
I asked the mechanic and he said the only way to access the loom is by removing the rear bumper.
Not to mention the fact I did not want to damage or scratch the rear bumper by doing it myself.
The only wiring I could see was for the towing electrical socket.
Sorry no photos otherwise I would have taken a few to put on the forum to help others out.
With regards to the interference it only happens when something is detected, not when you engage reverse. Seems to have stopped when the front sensors detect something but the rears are always popping. They all do this apparently, I was told but no issues on the FE that I ever remember. Hopefully a software upgrade will sort it.
I can PM you the work they carried out along with a copy of the bill if that helps.

Hi RR you have answered my question. Yes blind spot monitoring if that's working ok then your sensors must be working ok, also not in towing mode as previously said it disables this feature when towing. Sorry out of idea's.
I know this is really old but the blind spot monitoring system uses radar senses and not the ultrasound sensors for parking, thats from my experience with retrofitting blind spot monitoring to an Audi as well as adding the side sensors for auto parking
