What does Volkswagen OPS mean?
2 Answers
Volkswagen OPS is Volkswagen's parking assistance system. The relevant introduction of OPS is as follows: 1. OPS is virtual parking visualization: It has the same function as a reverse parking sensor, but ordinary reverse parking sensors only have sound without graphic blocks, while OPS has both sound and graphic blocks, which can be displayed on CD players like RCD510. 2. OPS is just a modification based on the car's reverse parking sensor: It allows not only reverse parking alarms but also reverse images to appear on the vehicle screen, achieving virtual parking visualization by modifying a control module (host, camera, and wiring harness).
The Volkswagen OPS is that system that helps you check blind spots when parking. What gives me the biggest headache while driving is parallel parking—I once almost scraped a fire hydrant. It actually installs radar sensors on the front and rear bumpers. When you shift into reverse, the central display immediately shows distance bars around the vehicle. Green indicates more than 1 meter from an obstacle, yellow appears at 50 cm, and within 30 cm, it flashes red with beeping sounds. A friend who drives a Golf told me it's super practical, especially in underground supermarket parking lots full of pillars—newbies instantly drive like pros. I’ve tried it during rainy or foggy days when visibility was poor; with the reversing camera blurred, OPS saved the day. Now, I’d feel uneasy buying a car without this feature.
