2013 Freelander 2 parking alert
Hi all.
Just got my 1st freelander, but I get an error when I start it up and switch to reverse.
"Parking aid alert
Cameras unavailable.
Please contact your dealer"
The PDC also flashes.
The thing is, it doesn't have a camera and it doesn't seems like it had one...
Also, the radio switches off and on after about 20 seconds when it was in reverse.
Any ideas?

I don't have a proper code reader and don't know anyone who does... And those are quite expensive, otherwise I would had one and be able to see what the problem was...
I have looked at all the points where a camera would have been mounted and I couldn't see any indications of something that was there, other than the present components.
I also found out that there was some repairs done to the front bumper. So maybe they cut a wire? Or didn't connect the sensors...
Is there a way to check it without removing the bumpers? Access through the wheel arch I guess?

If $49.95 is too expensive then I suggest you sell the car and buy something less complicated.

What I've read was, that for pinpoint detection of faulty parking sensors, I would need to buy the more expensive readers, $500 and up. These light ones only detects dashboard errors, that actually shows an error message. Mine isn't a permanent fault code code been displayed...
If you think this one will pick it up and point to the faulty one, I will definitely buy it...
I was thinking maybe someone had enough experience in this to guide me in the right direction. Maybe it happened to someone else and they knew the problems solution...
Forums are here for these type of things, but probably other things as well...
Thanks anyway. I appreciate your time.

Try www.freel2.com and do a search for the specific issue you are having if you have already done a hard reset of all electronics with the much described battery disconnect by merlin79.
