Upgrade your Audi Q3 F3 Sportback from factory rear PDC to the complete APS Plus front and rear parking system. Four additional front sensors provide progressive acoustic warnings and extend the optical parking display to cover obstacles around both ends of the vehicle.
The kit includes the front sensors, control unit, wiring, buzzer, holders and the correct factory-style PDC button required for the upgrade.
For Audi Q3 F3 Sportback models from MY2019 with factory rear PDC and a compatible MMI system. This is a front sensor upgrade, not a complete kit for vehicles without rear parking sensors. For MY2024-on vehicles with PR number NI1, NI7, NI8 or NI9, provide the VIN so current activation availability can be checked.
Audi Q3 F3 Sportback APS Plus Front Parking Sensor Upgrade Kit with Optical Display
Upgrade Your Audi Q3 to Front and Rear APS Plus
This retrofit kit upgrades an Audi Q3 F3 Sportback already equipped with factory rear parking sensors to the more capable APS Plus front and rear parking system.
Four additional front sensors monitor the area ahead of the vehicle, making it easier to position the Q3 in tight parking spaces and judge obstacles that cannot be seen clearly from the driver's seat.
Acoustic and Optical Parking Assistance
The completed APS Plus system combines progressive acoustic warnings with an optical parking display on the compatible factory MMI screen.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the warning frequency increases. The on-screen display also identifies the sensor zones detecting an obstacle, helping the driver judge whether it is positioned near the front, rear or side of the vehicle.

- Upgrades factory rear PDC to front and rear APS Plus
- Adds four front parking sensors
- Progressive acoustic distance warnings
- Optical front and rear parking display on the factory MMI screen
- Factory-style PDC activation button

Important Information for 2024-On Vehicles
Some vehicles from model year 2024 use newer diagnostic and cybersecurity protection that may currently prevent the retrofit from being activated. This applies particularly to vehicles with the following PR numbers:
- NI8: without UNECE Cybersecurity R155 and Software Update R156, with SFD2 control units
- NI7: with UNECE Cybersecurity R155, without Software Update R156
- NI9: with UNECE Cybersecurity and Software Update regulation
- NI1: with UNECE Cybersecurity and Software Update regulation
For a 2024-on vehicle carrying one of these PR numbers, provide the VIN before ordering so current retrofit and activation availability can be checked.
