Well, since the huge enthusiasm because I annouced I'm looking into this retrofit I thought let's make a log/topic so all members can read along and maybe help me out when I need it. When the fit is done I will create a proper guide for the A3 8P so other can join in on the fun.
At this moment it's all about sourcing information and the right parts for this fit. I own a MJ11 A3 8P with only the back rear PDC already installed. So to list all things I'm going to need (I think, list can be longer though );
I'm currently in the final phase of my bachelor degree IT (deadline for my thesis is due in 3 weeks) so I will be on and off about this topic for the time being. Think getting a bachelor IT degree is a bit more important then fitting the sensors atm.
Nevertheless, all updates will be placed in this topic, if you guys have any ideas/suggestions/anything else please spam this topic as any information can be of great use. I've never retrofitted or touched the PDC so ain't even sure where the damn module is located.

- PDC Front sensors (4x)
- PLA Front/Rear sensors (2 front/2 rear)
- ABS Sensors (Not 100% sure this is required, reached out to a fellow AudiSport.net member)
- 8K (8 Channels) PDC + PLA Module (Owned/Aquired)
- Wiring loom for the sensors and new module etc. (Reached out to Kufatec for this)
- CAN-Gateway that supports PLA (Owned/Aquired)
- Centre console with the PDC + PLA button (Owned/Aquired)
- Optional: front bumper with original PDC holes or create the holes myself.
