Rear Parking Sensor Coding- Is it possible to disable one sensor?

[Rabonitez]

As per the title, is it possible to disable a single rear parking sensor in VCDS? One of mine is constantly activated by the tow bar (with nothing connected to it). I want the rest to continue working but want to disable the troublesome one.

Not possible through VCDS and I haven’t even seen dummy sensor replacements that would keep electronics happy. But there’s stickers that block the sensor, I’ve used these for couple of years now.

Oh, these look good - So you just stick them over the sensor and it stops them working?

Correct.

I have A-bar in the front and the two middle front sensors don’t like it, had to come up with some solution. Overall they’ve done the trick, though in winter some slush/ice can collect and then the sensor can still see it.
