Are your reversing lights working normally?

Default Run a VAG COM scan...it stores error codes for most systems INCLUDING the parktronic system...

...most likely a bad sensor (and the VAG COM scan will tell you which one), which could be replaced for about $75.

It could be the control module, which is located under the rear shelf.

Default Just posted on this a couple days ago...

...found that my system is actually working, but the alert is veeeery faint.

Put in R with ignition on, engine off in a quiet area and listen closely.

As BD stated then, replacing the speaker is a real PITA. But, if you're CPO, it's covered by the warranty. Let the dealer fix it.

If not, good luck
